Bruce Springsteen is facing a drink-driving charge in New Jersey.
Springsteen was arrested November 14 in a part of the Gateway National Recreation Area on the New Jersey coast, a spokesperson for the National Park Service confirmed today.
The park is on a narrow, beach-ringed peninsula, with views across abay to New York City. It is about 24km north of Asbury Park, where Springsteen got his start as a musician and bandleader and which was later made famous with his debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.
Springsteen received citations for driving while under the influence, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area. The spokesperson said Springsteen was cooperative.
A message was left seeking comment Springsteen's publicist.
Springsteen says in the ad "It's no secret, the middle has been a hard place to get to lately. Between red and blue, between servant and citizen, between our freedom and our fear.
"We will cross this divide. Our light has always found its way through the darkness, and there's hope on the road up ahead."
As someone who deeply admires Bruce Springsteen, I just have to say that Jeep commercial was sad.
A great artist paid to further a deeply misguided idea (the problem in America is “red vs. blue”) in order to sell cars.
