Hadn't realised this:

Overall, his [Springsteen's] heritage is 50% Italian, 37% Irish, and 13% Dutch.

Hadn't realised there was any Irish in him at all, never mind 37%! (Not that it matters)

The full version of this is on the box set- outstanding stuff.

Did you see himself and Miami belting out Sherry Darling? A very underated song imho it's one of my favourites off that album. The man is the Cappo di tutti Cappo.

I know it's off the river I was trying to say did you see the pair of them on Darkness re-visited

I see Clarence "big man" Clemons suffered a stoke last night. No word on his condition yet. Probably the end of the ESB as we know it.

Saw that alright - Whatever about replacing the other members as age catches up with them no Big Man means it wouldn't be the same

[Billys Boots]

Sad news alright about Big Man; he's not been in good health recently either.

Heard it this am. Poor guy. Health troubles for a long time. The ESB wouldnt be the same without him alright. Plenty of road left in Bruce though. I was thinking he might have been planning another solo or acoustic project again soon anyhow.

Sad to hear about Clarence. Jungleland wouldn't be half as good without him, nor 10th Avenue Freeze out, Hope he gets well soon.

Very sad news, I would imagine we wont see the ESB at the same level again, I just started watching his Live in London Blu Ray again yesterday Clarence was immense,

Last year at one of the Dublin shows his nephew came out and played with him and it seem to be a real special night for the big man.  Pleasure to have been there for that (and Bruce's son played too)

[Sandino]

Very sad news! I hope that the Big Man pulls through with his skills and his dignity intact. With the loss of Danny I think this means we will never see the ESB again.
