[edit] Trivia/Info

  • Also known as The Stone Pony (in the original concert setlist)
  • The venue song for the Stone Pony.
  • The show for which this song was written was originally booked at a small club in Seaside Heights, NJ, but moved to the Stone Pony not long before the concert. If it hadn't moved, we would probably have a very different song called, "The Sawmill".
