Never ended up at JP Maloney's - at least not that I remember - but, back then, there were all sorts of dives in AP we would stumble into and not remember the next day. Amazing I didn't have numerous DUI's from those years. I would love knowing to what areas Bruce was referring with his lyrics. - across the river, mansions of glory, etc. I've heard lots of rumors but have never seen anything definitive. Now Bruce writes his songs against capitalism from his $10 million Rumson estate. My brother graduated from RFH in 1991 and, occasionally, Bruce would come up to the school and play touch football with he and his friends on Saturdays. I am also told Bruce enjoys chasing Rumson housewives.
RBC was, for years, the rivalry football game with Rumson. And, IIRC, it was played on Thanksgiving. That ended at some point, and I think it was because Rumson got tired of losing 40 or 50 to 0. Now the rivalry is with Shore.
