Song of the day / La chanson de la journée : BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN : Atlantic City Written by : Bruce Springsteen Album : Nebraska : 1982 The song depicts a young couples romantic escape to Atlantic City, but it also wrestles with the inevitability of death, as the man in the relationship intends to take a job in organized crime upon arriving in the city. The opening lines of Atlantic City refer to mafia violence in nearby Philadelphia, with Springsteen singing: Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night, now they blew up his house too (the chicken man was mafia boss Philip Testa, who was killed by a bomb planted at his Philadelphia house in March 1981). La chanson parle dun jeune couple qui part pour Atlantic City, mais parle aussi de la mort quand lhomme décide de faire une job pour un groupe criminel pour pouvoir échapper a la vie dure donc le couple subit. La première phrase dAtlantic City fait reference a la violence de la mafia de Philadelphie, avec les paroles : Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night, now they blew up his house too (le chicken man était le patron de la mafia Philip Testa, qui a été tué par une bombe dans sa maison de Philadelphie en mars 1981). https://youtube/watch?v=s-LIEr43_wk
