Springsteen nominated for New Jersey Hall of Fame

Springsteen is one of 25 New Jersey natives to be nominated for induction to the NJ HOF.

The Hall will "honor those who have made significant contributions to the state, the country and in many cases the world, it will also provide important role models for young people. The board plans to raise funds and construct a museum which will be a learning center where visitors can learn about those who have excelled and made a difference. Currently, the Hall exists only on the Web."


The list is pretty impressive:

In arts & entertainment, Abbott & Costello, Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen and Meryl Streep.

In sports, Yogi Berra, Bill Bradley, Larry Doby, Althea Gibson and Vince Lombardi.

In history, Clara Barton, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Walt Whitman and Woodrow Wilson.

In enterprise, Buzz Aldrin, Malcolm Forbes, Robert Wood Johnson, Mary Roebling and David Sarnoff.

In a general category, Justice William Brennan, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Toni Morrison, General Norman Schwarzkopf and Harriet Tubman.

But you'd have to think that the man who's song is the unofficial/official anthem of the state will get in there no problem...Right?
