ASBURY PARK, NJ — Brace yourself for the sacrilege: This is no longer Bruce Springsteen’s Asbury Park.

The boardwalk area is no longer the worn boot-heel town of Springsteen’s youth. The Pony has a summer stage, draped in sponsor banners. Wonder Bar is freshly minted in Palace Amusement green, Tilly and all. Fluorescent mood lights illuminate the refurbished Empress Hotel, which for years had mattresses and broken furniture piled on its balconies.

And on this Saturday night, as whispers on the boardwalk said Bruce would make a late-night showing at Wonder Bar, the big draw in town was….

a Dutch DJ named Tiesto.

….He was in the electronic cockpit of a sold-out rave at the Paramount, a retinal and tympanic membrane assault of laser lights and synthesized thumps, playing to kids whose parents were teenagers back when Bruce put out "Greetings ..." in 1973.

No, this is not your father’s Asbury Park
