Marie Castello, aka Madame Marie, died this past weekend. She was the Asbury Park fortune teller turned into rock 'n roll mythical figure via Bruce Springsteen. Madame Marie became famous in 1973 when he paid homage to her in the song 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy). jmj

Back in the day when I was a fixture on the Asbury Park boardwalk, I'd often stop and talk to Madam Marie as she sat on her folding chair outside the Temple of Knowledge.

I'd sit across from her on the metal guard rail bordering the beach, and watched as she led the day trippers into the small back room where she would unlock a few of the mysteries of their future. She always told me mine looked pretty good - she was right. The world has lost enough mystery as it is - we need our fortunetellers. We send our condolences out to her family who've carried on her tradition. Over here on E Street, we will miss her.
