I live in Dingle Co Kerry Ireland and met Chip (He lived in Ventry 4 miles outside the town) in a pub in the town about 5 years ago and he told me he met Springsteen on the day of his audition for Columbia Records. We had a great conversation about Bruce; The Beatles etc and there was another guy there who worked with Mert Avis who produced the videos for Tunnel of Love / Tougher Than the
