Hate to only stop in when I need something but...

Seems there is no way to actually contact Bruce Springsteen to ask him but what the hel0l is this some all about???

Don't get me wrong, I love the song and loved it when it came out on Bruce's "Welcome to Asbury Park" LP... I actually have been playing it but don't plan on performing it because it doesn't fit in with my blues programs...

The song seems to have conflict and contradictions in it... One minuet Bruce is telling Mary that she's "not woman enough for kissing" and then telling her that he's going to go to Mexico with her and make a new life???

I'm confused...
