Yeah, I just listened to Jungleland. I still get the chills when I hear that solo.

RIP Clarence.

Oh my God...I'm actually shocked right now. I had no idea he had a stroke. I'm so so so fortunate to have seen him with the E Street Band two years ago. His sax solos were the best. Time to dedicate myself to all my old Springsteen vinyl. :( :( :(

Yeah...I didn't think it would hit me this hard, but it has.

I'm not what you'd consider a HUGE fan, but I respect the hell out of the work they've done.

My wife went to school with Danny Federicci's son.

Here's the weird part. My wife said she brought The River with her in the car yesterday and she didn't find out about it until this morning.

Very sad.

Its funny.. I gave up on Bruce at the time of The River, to me it was over, but I always liked how so many enjoyed the songs and fun. I dont agree with Bruce, so thats tough for also, but it is
sad for NJ.
