Wouldnt the fact that the girl jumped off of a bridge be enough to Imply that she  commited suicide? why was it that girls in this genre of rock songs were the suicidal teens?tell laura i Love her& leader of the pack are two fine examples of the boy dyingalthough those tw songs are about accidental deaths

Thanks dowtoearth985 for sharing that story. It is amazing to hear from someone who actually knew and met Mark. I never did unfortunately but I am a massive fan and have been collecting his music for years, thanks again. Paul

I was friends with Mark. I was just a kid and he was apperaing at Gus Steven's in Biloxi Mississippi. I don't remember the details, but my Mom had become friends with Mark and he ended up staying at our house while he was appearing at Gus Steven's. There was no 'romance' between Mark and my Mom, she thought of him like a son. I just remember he was very funny and fun to be with. He took a likeing to me. He did drink a lot and loved to eat very rare steaks.There was a sadness about him

This is a great song. The drumbeat reminds me of the one in Roy Orbison's "Crying"
