Red Album 30

The Red Album of Asbury Park Remixed

In the aftermath of Tom's death, Sam seeks solace in the changeless sea, swimming past the jetties and the boardwalk, past the Ferris wheel and carousel, past the music rising from the beachfront bars. He considers giving up the band, but he returns to it. Jillian comes back to town and reveals the cause of her pain and addiction. Sam promises to take care of her. On July 4th, while Sam is playing at the Upstage, the club where Springsteen got his start, the Asbury Riots begin. In the midst of the riots, Sam gets a phone call from a record company.

With Chapter 30, The Red Album of Asbury Park Remixed comes to a close. I’m grateful for all the artists that contributed their songs to create the novel’s soundtrack. I also want to thank Jim Testa, John Pfeiffer and Todd Wachtel for their suggestions and for helping to bring many of the artists to the project. Eileen, Heather, Amy and Rebecca, I deeply appreciate your lending your sweet voices to the work.
