Springsteen Remembers Madam Marie
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that Bruce Springsteen fans are in mourning.
Boardwalk fixture and Springsteen song legend Madam Marie, the seaside clairvoyant immortalized in “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” died last Friday at age 93, great-granddaughter Sally Castello told the Asbury Park Press.
The medium, whose real name was Marie Castello, was an iconic presence along the Asbury Park boardwalk, performing her palm reading next door to Springsteen’s old Jersey Shore haunt, the Stone Pony.
“Did you hear the cops finally busted Madam Marie for tellin’ fortunes better than they do?” Springsteen sang in the track off his 1973 sophomore release, The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle.
He was so fond of Castello that he always dropped by her small stand to say hello whenever he was in town.
“I’d sit across from her on the metal guard rail bordering the beach, and watched as she led the day-trippers into the small back room where she would unlock a few of the mysteries of their future,” Springsteen writes in tribute on his website. “She always told me mine looked pretty goodshe was right.
“Over here on E Street, we will miss her.”

Cascada - Because The Night Lyrics
Take me now baby here as I am
hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I’m in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can’t hurt you now
Can’t hurt you now, can’t hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us (x2)
Have I doubt baby when I’m alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our beds till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can’t touch you now
Can’t touch you now, can’t touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us (x2)

On the next tier down, there were four artists with 5 nominations each: Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, and Foo Fighters. And Akon, Dierks Bentley, Feist, Chris Daughtry, Tim McGraw, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Bruce Springsteen, and John Newton all have four chances.
