Even the Boss hates traffic on the George Washington Bridge.

New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Fallon -- erm, I mean Bruce Springsteen II -- performed an acoustic riff about Gov. Chris Christie's "Bridgegate" scandal on Tuesday evening, just hours after Christie's State of the State address.

The governor has been in spotlight since emails revealed last week that his top aides orchestrated a traffic jam as political retribution against the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J. for his lack of support during Christie's reelection campaign.

Like many New Jerseyans, it's no secret that Christie loves Springsteen. As The Atlantic so eloquently puts it, Christie "would marry [Springsteen] if he were gay and if gay people were allowed to marry in the state he governs."
