A voice said, “Alyssa?” OH MY GOD. I knew the voice. He didn’t immediately say, “It’s Bruce Springsteen,” but he sounds just like his music—it was like a saxophone could come in at any minute. He thanked me for my work on Hurricane Sandy on behalf of the people of New Jersey. Because I am a real tool, I was so shocked and flustered that I told him he probably had better things to be doing on Air Force One than talking to me. I said I appreciated his call, and then we hung up.
