Some New Jersey residents know the real answer to the question "whose the boss?"

Hometown hero Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band are hitting Asbury Park's Convention Hall Monday evening for a sold-out rehearsal concert. Some fans had to make arrangements with another type of boss in order to make it to the concert.

"We rushed out of work. We all just darted out," said one laughing fan. "I hope my bosses aren't watching"

Fans unable to purchase tickets have been gathering outside the venue in the hopes of obtaining wristbands for a special ticket lottery. Springsteen and his band are playing previews of their new album, "Magic." A tour is slated to follow.
