Cover art for 57 Channels lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

I agree with Xrandy in that the "57 Channels" represents having everything, but there being "nothin' on," that represents that the love he has for his wife is nothing. He's got the house, the car, and importantly the TV, but there being nothing on the TV to enjoy, there is no love for him to enjoy.

My Interpretation
