Date: August 28th, 2026 1:28 AM Author: the discombobulator This has been extensively debated. Archaic term from first half of 20th century ... Local Jersey slang ... Double entendre drug reference ... "unreliable narrator" https://confessionsofaconservative.com/2023/07/21/springsteens-glory-days-and-the-unreliable-narrator/ ...Stevie gave an interview once where he basically said Bruce just didn't know shit about baseball and literally didn't know "speedball" sounds jarring and retarded |

Date: August 28th, 2026 2:30 AM Author: r|cky it would have been a dustbin classic or very, very minor regional new wave hit at best but for the artist's fame. it's a good song but nothing special and just succeeds on bruce's fame and great delivery. he's famous because he has a great persona and the songs swing hard and sound good, not because he's a truly great songwriter or musician.
