Springsteen 60th birthday poll: Keep on rockin’, Boss

Even though Bruce Springsteen is nearing retirement age, most of his fellow New Jerseyans think he's still The Boss, a poll released says today, the rocker's 60th birthday.

The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll found that "The Boss" ties with "The King" (Elvis Presley) for the Garden State's all-time favorite rocker, with each getting support from 8 percent of those surveyed.

"Springsteen's broadest appeal is to middle age residents, but few New Jerseyans of any age feel the sexagenarian troubadour should just sit around getting older," a press release accompanying the poll sayd.

"An overwhelming 86 percent say the Boss should keep rocking as long as he wants. Only 4 percent say he is probably getting too old to rock at age 60 and just 3 percent say he is definitely too old."
