"Bruce Springsteen was among the inaugural class of twenty-five inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame on Sunday. Springsteen was on hand to accept the honor at Newark&amp;apos;s Performing Arts Center, alongside novelist Toni Morrison, Yankee cathcer Yogi Berra and retired General Norman Schwarzkopf. &amp;quot;Rise up, my fellow New Jerseyans. We are all members of a confused but noble race,&amp;quot; Springsteen told those on hand. &amp;quot;Even with this wonderful Hall of Fame, we know there&amp;apos;s another bad Jersey joke just around the corner.&amp;quot; Frank Sinatra was also chosen as a first ballot Hall of Famer. The NJ Hall of Fame only exists as a website now, but funds are being raised to build an actual museum. Meanwhile, Bon Jovi sits idly by the phone, waiting for his rite of passage."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
