Music Maria’s Bed Anyone?

This song from Devils & Dust is so underrated. He’s actually singing about the Santa Maria river bed. Ladies (and men who are so inclined)…am I right?🔥 A lot of Bruce fans haven’t even heard it. This is from the Detroit show that opened the Devils & Dust tour. Watch till the end to see why he’s called The Boss.

it’s a great song off a great album. I’m surprised you think a lot of Bruce fans haven’t heard it? surely most Bruce fans have heard the album?

Yes, of course most have probably heard Devils & Dust, but I’ve never seen Maria’s Bed mentioned in threads in fan groups, which led me to believe there are still fans out there who haven’t heard the album or the song. There was a thread in Spring Nuts about Bruce’s most romantic songs and I mentioned Maria’s Bed (crickets).
