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.”

Christopher Lee Would Return As Saruman For The Hobbit
He may be 86 years old but he still has six movies on the way and could be adding another one (or two). Christopher Lee spoke to Empire about Saruman returning for The Hobbit prequels. Although Saruman doesnt appear in the book, there is the second film which Del Toro and Jackson will be writing to bridge the gap between The Hobbit and the first Lord of the Rings movie.
“I’ve read the books time and again,” said the 86-year-old. “Originally Saruman The White and the rest of the wizards, or the Istari as they call them, were immortal. There were five of them, two of them never appear, I know their names but they never appear, and the only three that are mentioned are Saruman The White, Gandalf The Grey and Radagast The Brown who you never see – so basically it’s two wizards.
“They lived for thousands of years and they were sent to the earth and they are virtually immortal. When it all started, Saruman was the noblest, the finest, the bravest, the most dependable and reliable of them all, he was number one. But somewhere, somehow, and it was never actually explained, he turns and it’s probably the Palantír (the wizard’s crystal ball thingy) that makes Saruman realise that if Sauron can do this, why can’t I do it and Saruman wants to become The Lord Of The Rings himself.”
“I’d be interested in seeing how that transition from good to evil occurred and, yes, of course I would return to the role if I was asked.”
You can tell Lee has read the trilogy every year for the past five decades can’t you?
I suppose it would be quite cool to see Saruman’s decent into darkness. What do you think?
