This one stings. I’ve never been a huge music guy, but for as long as I can remember, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have been a part of my life. Their music filled the house when I was a kid, and my love of the band carried over into my adult life. I’ve seen them twice in concert and Clarence Clemons, without question, is a huge reason why E Street Band concerts transcend rock ‘n roll to become almost spiritual experiences. At least for me.

Rest in peace, Big Man. Your music will live on forever.
