In the song "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," which gets a lot airplay this time of year in sophisticated radio markets (Dallas not being one, you probably won't hear it here), Bruce Springsteen sings "Did you hear, the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do." The Madame Marie he is referring to is Asbury Park fortune teller Madame Marie Costello, who's been telling fortunes on the Boardwalk since the 1930s.
A memorial service was held for Madame Marie today. She died last Friday, according to her great-granddaughter. She was in her mid-90s.
