Rolling Stones list of the 100 best Bruce Springsteen songs (in honor of his 65th birthday) pegged Meeting Across The River at No. 42. Im not saying it should supplant any of the songs in the Top 20, but it remains one of my favorites for a number of reasons -- for its film noir mood and spare arrangement (melancholy piano, upright double bass and Randy Breckers searing trumpet) and for lyrics that draw a character in three short verses and tell the story with the details that are left out or implied. We dont need to know the specifics -- we know the main character is never gonna see that two grand. And Springsteen wrote it in about an hour. Enjoy. I always do.
