Bruce Springsteen was rescued by a group of veterans on Veterans Day after his motorcycle broke down in New Jersey. Billboard reports that the vets gave the musician a helping hand after they saw him on the side of the road by Allaire State Park. Freehold American Legion – Monmouth Post 54 Facebook post describes the encounter:

“What started out as a story of interest posted to our American Legion Facebook page has devolved into a nauseating political altercation full of vitriol and insults, none of which are from our members. If we are to survive as a nation both sides have to stop the hate. Both the incoming and outgoing presidents have asked for unity, we should listen.

There are men and women serving in the military who are now deployed far from their home. They are putting their lives at risk, they have left their families and the people they love to defend this nation.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

-Legion Riders Rescue Bruce-

Yesterday members of Post 54 Legion Riders, Dan Barkalow (pictured) and Bob Grigs with their friend Ryan Bailey represented Post 54 at the Veteran’s Day ceremony conducted at the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Holmdel. At the conclusion of the ceremony they decided to take advantage of the beautiful day by taking a ride to Manasquan before returning to Freehold.

On the way home, taking the back roads to Freehold, lead rider, Dan, noticed a broken down bike on the side of Allaire Road, near Allaire State Park. The Legion Riders pulled over to assist their fellow motorcyclist, who just happened to be Freehold native Bruce Springsteen.

Unable to get his bike started, Bruce called for help, hopped on the back of Ryan’s bike and they drove to Mulligans in Farmingdale. One beer later his ride arrived.

Dan stated that Bruce was a very down to earth regular guy who fit right in with his fellow, not so famous, Freehold boys. Bruce did take their names and telephone numbers, so maybe they’ll be riding together some day!”

 

They then gave Springsteen a restaurant called Mulligan’s, where they had drinks with him while the musician waited for a towing company to pick up his bike. In addition to posing for photos with his rescuers, Springsteen threw in a $100 to pay for the tab and told them to keep the change. The helpful vets are members of the Freehold American Legion Post 54 Legion Riders and were taking a ride to Manasquan before returning home to Freehold.

David Blaine was able to blow the minds of Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on Friday’s “Tonight Show” episode.

The legendary illusionist/magician completed three amazing card tricks, but it is what he did at the very end that had everyone’s jaws to the floor.

Dave Chappelle hosted SNL for the first time, focusing on the president-elect Donald Trump during a powerful 10 minute monologue. The comedian was discussing his visit to the White House, and the fact that Americans had “actually elected an internet troll as our president”. Chapelle went on to say he will give Donald Trump “a chance” however “we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too”.
