Did you know?

“ Last but not least, Clarence Clemons. That’s right. You want to be like him but you can’t, you know. The night I met Clarence, he got up onstage (and) a sound came out of his horn that seemed to rattle the glasses behind the bar, and threatened to blow out the back wall. The door literally blew off the club in a storm that night, and I knew I’d found my sax player.
“But there was something else, something - something happened when we stood side by side. Some, some, some energy, some unspoken story.
“For years Clarence has been a source of myth and light and enormous strength for me on stage. He has filled my heart so many night - so many nights - and I love it when he wraps me in those arms at the end of the night. That night we first stood together, I looked over at C and it looked like his head reached into the clouds. And I felt like a mere mortal scurrying upon the earth, you know. But he always lifted me up. Way, way, way up. Together we told a story of the possibilities of friendship, a story older than the ones that I was writing and a story I could never have told without him at my side. I want to thank you, Big Man, and I love you so much.

Bruce Springstreet and The E Street Band I Born to Run

“ It’s such a huge part of me, you know. It’s where I grew up. My family’s there. I’m now raising kids there. I don’t know. Everything about it. I mean, I despise the winter, you know what I mean? I love everything about it, I really do. I wish there wasn’t so much traffic sometimes but I can deal with that.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place that I could see myself living in more than New Jersey. It’s just a part of me.

socraticsarah: “In 1938, Frank was singing at his first real professional gig at the Rustic Cabin in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, just up the road from the George Washington Bridge. Even at that young age, the other band members reported that Frank was a big attraction to the ladies. One night, so the story goes, Frank was invited out to the parking lot for a ‘personal encounter.’ Unfortunately, a policeman tapped on the car window sending the woman into a panic….she started screaming ‘rape.’ Frank was arrested, and these photos were taken. The next day, the woman, who was married, dropped the charges. Case dismissed.”
