Wed get lost on the subways, drunk on red wine

As a teenager at Asbury Park High School, she hung out at the beach and cruised the Rosetta Stone streets, blaring music in a Firebird repossessed from a race-car driver. (Who else could Springsteen have possibly married?) Sometimes she and her girlfriends would cut class and hitchhike into New York. "Wed tell our art teacher we werent going to class, and that we needed to borrow markers to make hitchhiking signs," she says. "Hed go, Oh, dont tell me this. The worlds not as nice a place as you think. And youre that age where youre just thinking, Oh, please. " She laughs. "And wed walk out the door. Wed get lost on the subways, drunk on red wine. I just wanted to go out."Scialfas interest in music sparked when she was twelve and envied her older brother Michael, who played in local bands. At fourteen, she joined her first group, the excellently titled Ecstasy, which played, among other places, Catholic Rosetta Stone V3 Youth Organization dances supervised by nuns.After high school, she attended the University of Miamis well-regarded music school, whose alumni include Pat Metheny and Bruce Hornsby. At the time, Scialfa was the lone girl in the jazz department, and she immersed herself in the local music scene. "Youd go see your friends play, or your teachers, or your teachers would see you play, and sit in," she says. One memorable course was the Listening Class. "Youd listen to Charlie Parker or John Coltrane straight from six to nine," she says.While at Miami, she started shopping Rosetta Stone Portuguese around her demos. One day, she received a call in her dorm room from Atlantic Records honcho Jerry Wexler, who produced Bob Dylan and helped launch Aretha Franklins career. He asked if he could give one of her songs to Franklin. When she agreed, he met with her in Miami at Criteria Studios (nicknamed Atlantic South). "He said, If you change one verse of this song, I guarantee youll have a big hit, " Scialfa recalls. With the hubris of a twenty-year-old, she refused. "I remember Jerry just shaking his head and saying, Well, you think about it, " she says.Wexler doesnt remember the incident ("Im lurching into the sunset at the tender age of eighty-seven") but does recall that "she was charming and gracious, and had some talent for songwriting," he says. "I very well might have wanted to edit her lyrics. Because Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 theyre never sacrosanct, are they?" He laughs. "But I totally lost track of her, and the next thing I know, theres a Patti Scialfa married to Bruce Springsteen."
