big man talking.
Clarence Clemons is making appearances & doing book signing in support of his memoir, Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales. Despite running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep (from being down in Philly last night and then working a full day today), I headed uptown to see if I could participate in the freak show. You waited in line, you bought a book, you waited in line again, then you were escorted into a room to wait some more.
I will be honest and say that Clarence was far more lucid and articulate than I was led to believe his current condition left him in. His eyesight was fine, his hearing a little wobbly – which is of course to be expected. He was funny, he was engaged, he was happy to be there. I have to tell you, given the prevailing rumors out there, I was expecting him to be more frail.

It was 1971. It was a little tiny town in Michigan . It was me, and a little black GE transistor radio. It was me, and a brand new school. It was me, and my friend Linda Fisher, who could dance, trying to teach me how to dance like the Jackson Five did in their Saturday morning cartoon.
Listen to me on Live From E Street Nation, Friday, 4/10
I will be on E Street Radio later this week. The show is called Live From E Street Nation (please, try not to gag too hard). It runs Friday mornings from 10-12ET. I am co-hosting the show with Dave Marsh this Friday, 4/10.
If you do not already have satellite radio, you can sign up for a free online trial (that runs for three days) that will let you listen to the show online:

The link for the free trial is at the top of the page.
The call in number listed on the site is 1-877-70-BRUCE. I imagine that will also be the number for the call in show, but listen and find out. Tell your friends, call us and ask why in God’s name Bruce has “Outlaw Pete” second in the set.
