Not sure if we’re talking Mary from Arkansas or the Mary he got pregnant before he got his union card and wedding coat.
Sandy
despite having listened to atlantic city about 10000000 times, i only recently noticed that he refers to the woman in the song as wendy.
???
According to his website she doesn’t have a name:
i swear to god, if you listen closely he does.
i don’t know. maybe i’m going nuts. but it would fit, wouldn’t it? like that’s where the couple from born to run ended up.
I think I am spotting exactly what you are talking about but I’m not sure if now I’M just going nuts.
“She” in “From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)” — “Well, she shot him dead on a sunny Florida road/When they caught her all she said was she couldn’t stand the way he drove.”
Also there’s a bunch of nuns in Springsteen songs, but I dunno if they count as “babes.”
Oh, and: “I had a jukebox graduate for a first mate/She couldn’t sail but she sure could sing” — “Growin’ Up”
Terry in “Backstreets” (unless you subscribe to the theory that Terry’s a guy)
Spanish Johnny!
I’m not sure if now I’M just going nuts.
paying such close attention to this is probably a sign of some kind of imbalance. sigh.
Cherry ( got her radio hocked in Meeting Across The River)
Cynthia
Jeannie ? (who needed a shooter)
janie
Crazy Janie, to be exact. They made love in the dirt while Hazy Dave jumped into the lake without pants on.
(one of my favorite Springsteen anecdotes)
Oh, thought we were talking about the Janie that we didn’t want to lose heart found on the B-side of the “I’m on Fire” single.
two janies. even better.
There’s also Mary Lou who loved Johnny, with a love mean and true.
I came to get you last night, Cindy at quarter to six
Your Daddy came to the door, he said Cindy got sick
She got sent home from work with a note from the nurse
And I worry your presence would make her condition worse
But it ain’t your health, ‘cuz you sure look so fine
Little girl it’s something else that’s on my mind
Whatever you got, well you can give it me
‘Cuz if it’s good enough for you it’s good enough for me
Can’t forget Kitty, who’s back. Since Kitty left with Big Pretty, things have got pretty thin.
Bruce doing his best Van Morrison impression.
