In hoping to not have American Thanksgiving drive the United States' coronavirus case count any higher than it already is, Bruce Springsteen and some of of his fellow New Jerseyites are urging Americans to "wear a friggin' mask" this long weekend.

Not unlike the role Ryan Reynolds played north of the border, the Boss and famous friends Jon Stewart and Jon Bon Jovi have been enlisted for their home state's #MaskUpNJ health campaign. Today, Springsteen shared a shot of himself and the Jons on a billboard — responsibly distanced, of course.

"Teamed up with some fellow New Jerseyans to encourage everyone this holiday season to wear a friggin' mask," Springsteen wrote. "Let's all come together and #MaskUpNJ so we can get back to what we do best — singing along and dancing together."
It was recently revealed that Springsteen will appear on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest in December. In October, he released new album Letter to You.

Springsteen and Bon Jovi had previously gotten together for a televised New Jersey pandemic benefit event. The latter had a summer tour cancelled due to COVID-19. Stewart, meanwhile, is preparing a new current affairs series for Apple.
