Jiwoo of Jiwoo's Quick Buy Convenience Market in East Orange, New Jersey, loves Bruce Springsteen. Signage among the shelves of groceries and household items have long borne tributes to the boss. A dusty, hey baby, I'm about starving tonight sign hangs over the host's snack cake display. An oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire sign dangles over the door flame logs.

And there beneath the oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back sign are the first aid supplies. The shop's nachos are sold as chips with boss sauce, and Jiwoo proudly displays a picture of the boss himself enjoying a plateful.

However, when Lee Woo posted a sign saying that Springsteen would be performing there on December 7th, which he did not, it not only disappointed fans, but also resulted in a cease and desist for from the Springsteen legal team. We knew the nacho pitcher was photoshopped, and that was fine, but this was just a bridge too far, says Springsteen lawyer Carolyn Bump.

Jiwoo framed the cease and desist later, and fans enjoy visiting the store to see it.

Wait, so I'm going to be sincere really quickly. That photograph of your daughter looking at you during your confirmation hearing was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. Oh my goodness. Thank you. It was remarkable. It was, you know, I showed it to my kids and I said, what the hell's the matter with you?

My daughter's bus driver came to me one time because he was giving her a pink slip for bad behavior for something on the bus. But the reason he was upset is because he went to take a nap on the bus one day. You know, when the kids were not, obviously. He went to take a nap. And he laid down in what was my daughter's seat. And he smelled this horrible smell.

And she had been taking the fruit that I, you know, put in the Tupperware in her lunchbox and shoving it under the seat. And so there's a horrible rotten fruit smell. And, of course, I was upset because I said I was going to eat that.
