Go see the Movie, The Pope of Greenwich Village. Pure coincidence, but the narrator would be Mickey Rourke (Charlie) and Eddie would be Eric Roberts (paulie)

MK: No real reason. It’s always been one of my favorite Springsteen songs too.

What made you pick this song? I think it’s one of the best Springsteen songs ever…

I ran across your analysis of this song when researching for a book review. You would enjoy “Meetig Across the River”, a book of short stories all based on this song. Interesting interpretations.

hey there
good analysis

one thing i disagree with is the relationship with eddie - i see eddie as being merely a vehicle for the narrator - what he says to eddie he’s really saying to himself - ‘don’t screw up - this thing’s serious’. You get the sense that he’s trying to convince himself as much as eddie
great song
