This image is permanently exhibited on Blogfinger in the “About” section above. It appeared in Maine Ahead, a magazine which featured it in their January 2011 Anniversary Collectors Edition.
Note that this special uncropped commemorative “print” of it includes a piece of the old OG fishing pier in the lower left hand corner.
Here’s Bruce Springsteen; a musical hero at the Jersey Shore. He appeared in the 12/12/12 Benefit Concert in NYC with the E Street Band — raising money for hurricane victims.
Below is a live recording of “Girls in Their Summer Clothes” — from the 2008 album “Magic.”
This song reminds me of the Jersey Shore — you can almost smell the surf and see the girls walking on the boardwalk and the fishing pier.
“And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Passing by.”
It’s hard to believe it’s been that long since watching this video being filmed on the OG beach. It brings back memories of when Springsteen played with my dogs on the beach after filming his Tunnel of Love video. His visits to the Grove were far more common then.
Reblogged this on shensea.
Sue: Love the video. Thanks for sharing.
