RIP Clarence Clemons
In Bruce Springsteen, In Clarence Clemons, In Eulogy, In Saxophone, In TeachJune 18, 2011
Bruce Springsteen won't be saying "Clarence, the sax man" anymore, and the E Street Band just lost all those shades of midnight blue and sunset pink. My parents' marriage just became a lot less intimate, and the world grew more silent. Clarence Clemons is dead. May he rest in peace, his love and compassion made the pain and hunger in Bruce's songs bearable.

Brittany says: Most of the pain and hunger in that song is from the sax solo.
