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

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.

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.
