Watching the beachy video for Bruce Springsteen’s “Girls In Their Summer Clothes” on an 18-degree day might not be the best idea, given that it’s full of young ladies in too-sleeveless-to-wear-right-now frocks running around a Jersey Shore beach, happy to be alive and outdoors in temperatures that are above freezing.
