Question About Springsteen Song Sandy. Spectrum. 1975.



I was listening to "Sandy" by Bruce Springsteen on my Ipod the other day. Man does he set a mood and paint a picture in this song! Here's a live version from 1975. I only saw him once in concert. At the Spectrum in Philly in probably 1980 or 1981. Probably in my top 5 favorite concerts ever.

Not sure why Bruce is wearing that big ass wool cap at a concert though.

Now I wish I was at the shore. Snuggling up with a lady fwend.

And what does he mean that "the cops finally arrested Madame Maria for telling fortunes better than they do?" Can anyone explain? I don't understand. Why did she get busted?

Enjoy:

  1. What do you call a short fortune teller (little person?) who just broke out of prison?

  2. It's an encouragement for the young people to use drugs and worship satan. At least that's what I was told about all rock and roll music back in the 70's.
