Springsteen is a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance in all things other than music. I was lucky enough to have attended one of his concerts when he was in his prime, during the late 1970's not too long after the release of Born To Run. Clemmons was an integral part of each of those songs.

RIP
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.  RIP.

I only saw Springsteen and the band once, in Philly around 1978 or 79.  Great show.  That was when Darkness on the Edge of Town came out, which I still think is the best Springsteen album.
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

Jeez, I remember just a month or two ago he appeared as a guest musician with some pop star or another, and his sax playing wasn't too good. Age is cruel. RIP Big Man.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
