I remember a line in a Springsteen song "...when The Big Man came to town..." Or something like that. And Clarence wailed on his sax right after those words were delivered as though he was answering the singer. I thought that was pretty cool.
But then came a time (not so long ago actually) Springsteen began interjecting politics into his act. I regretted being a Springsteen fan at that moment and realized that I don't care for entertainers who polarize and turn people against each other.

Clarence Clemons, who played saxophone with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, was in jail Saturday on charges he punched and kicked his girlfriend at a vacation home in the Florida Keys.
Clemons, 54, was arrested by Palm Beach County deputies at his Riviera Beach home Friday night and jailed without bond on a domestic battery warrant out of the Keys' Monroe County. He faces a court appearance there Monday.

So do you share everyone's criminal record and mistakes when they die?
You probably protest at funerals of those Americans who die in combat overseas.
