Friday's Question

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?

Seriously, apparently Irish band Stockton's Wing got their name from a Bruce Springsteen song. Which one?


This has Queenie and Percy both stumped.

The song is called "Backstreets" and the lyric is "Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing
Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings"

There you go!!

Thank you anonymous.
Maybe someday when you're back you can tell me which album it's on.

Or maybe I can not be bone idle and check it out for myself

Backstreets is from Born to Run, 1975.
