I still can’t believe that Clarence Clemon’s has died! The sky should be darker! We have had so many grey days, how dare the sun shine today!
Clarence was the saxophonist in The E Street Band with Bruce Springsteen and a personal hero. Some of you will be interested to know that he was as saxaphonist on Lady Gaga’s Born this Way, seen in the video below, but I grew up idolizing him as “the Big Man” in the E Street Band. A post on Bruce Springsteen’s site today reads simply:
It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th.
Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence: Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band.
Below is a 1978 performance of “10th Avenue Freeze Out,” the song that gave him his nickname, followed by the new video of Lady Gaga’s “The Edge of Glory.” After that are a few other random videos of Clarence at work. Enjoy!

Faves: Sharon Jones, Avett Brothers, Swell Season, Tim Barry and Gaslight Anthem
The Newport Folk Festival dates back to 1959, but has always adhered to a somewhat loose definition of “folk.” Among the people who played there in the early days of the festival and early in their careers were Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash and Howlin’ Wolf. More recently people as diverse as Jakob Dylan, The Decemberists, The Low Anthem, Jimmy Buffett, Nickel Creek, the Allman Brothers Band, Agenlique Kidjo, and Emmylou Harris have played the festival that now takes place annually at Fort Adams State Park.
This year’s festival was impressive, as usual. We got there just in time to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. As usual they were brilliant. Sharon Jones interacts with her audience more than any other performer I have seen live, and if you get a chance to see her in a small club, do. She’ll bring folks on stage to sing to them, or even to have them sing and dance with her. She singles people in the audience out for recognition when they show affection, and she handles unruliness with particular dexterity. I wasn’t sure how that would play out in the noonday sun on the highly elevated stage in Fort Adams State Park.

A Tale of Three Bands
Over and over for about three decades folks have proclaimed the death of Rock and Roll, but I’m thoroughly convinced that good old-fashioned, guitar dominated rock and roll is in the midst of a golden age. I just watched the Bruce Springsteen, Live at Hyde Park DVD and it is amazing. I was at the actual concert in Hyde Park last year. At the age of 60 this man rocks! I’ve seen him play a few times over the decades and the show on that DVD is every bit as high energy, loud and exciting as those he did in the 90’s, 80’s and even the 70’s. You get wrapped up in a Springsteen concert like you might in a religious revival, and there are not at lot of artists who have been able to keep the intensity of a show at your favorite rock club, even as they began to play at bigger and bigger venues, right up stadiums and open air concerts in Hyde Park.
Not only are his live shows legendary, but each show is new and different. There is always a significant element of spontaneity and he never sticks to a preplanned setlist. He can keep it fresh because he’s constantly releasing new material. Indeed, in recent years he’s been releasing albums even more frequently, nearly every year since 2002. It’s surprising to notice the age range at his concerts, fans ranging from their 20s to their 60s! As long as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are playing three hour plus concerts and Bruce keeps that new material coming, we don’t need to worry about the death of Rock and Roll.

Play a Train Song
I’m working on a list of train songs, seeing how many I can come up with between now and May 18th, National Train Day.

Happy Birthday, Bruce!
Bruce turns 60 today! Springsteen has provided the soundtrack for an awful lot of my life and have found it almost uncanny the way his music somehow matched whatever I was going through during a given period in my life. I have seen him in concert multiple times throughout the years, most recently in Hyde Park this summer. He was amazing, just as he has been so many times during the past decades.
So happy birthday, Mr. Springsteen! And thanks!
