Iblame Joe Piscopo.

[snip] Of course, the list of those born or bred in New Jersey is
anchored by the almighty Bruce Springsteen  Messiah of Rock 'N' Roll,
without whom the Bee Gees might have taken over the world with a
legion of trendy-dressing goons armed with hypnotic strobe lights and
sporting feathered hair.

Then there's Frank Sinatra, Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, James
Gandolfini, Grover Cleveland, Allen Ginsberg, Lauryn Hill, Bon Jovi
(OK, Strike one.) Whitney Houston, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Kevin
Smith, Charles Addams, Edwin "Bud" Aldrin, Judy Blume, Jerry Lewis
(That's strike two), Joe Pesci, Meryl Streep, Admiral William "Bull"
Halsey Jr., Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, David Copperfield (foul tip),
William Brennan, Count Basie, Norman Schwarzkopf, Kevin Spacey, Sarah
Vaughan, Antonin Scalia (um), Samuel Alito Jr. (er), Jason Alexander,
Ice-T, James Fenimore Cooper, Stephen Crane and Patti Smith. [snip]

....Patti listed last???? Perhaps for emphasis. hahaha
A lousy article really, I've been looking for something with content
about what happened - was P there, with who, did she say something,
etc.?
