Chris Vaughn Asbury Park Press Cover Story

The young musician films his adventures chasing the heroes, Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi. He calls the chase movie “Jerseyboy Hero.”

Truth, it’s been said, is stranger (and sometimes wilder) than fiction: Chris Vaughn, a Brick band leader, was hanging around Asbury Park’s Convention Hall one day in 2007, hoping to finally snatch a moment with Springsteen, who was rehearsing at the hall for his world tour.

Out of nowhere, Springsteen appeared on the street. He and Vaughn started chatting, and the camera was rolling.

What happened next took chops and grace:
Vaughn: “Bruce, could I use this in the movie?”
Springsteen: “Sure!”
