Rob CarmackHOST
So good.
Rob CarmackHOST
So Clarence Clemons showing up with the saxophone.
Rob CarmackHOST
And I think the thing about the saxophone in a lot of Bruce Springsteen songs, especially the ones that sound a little bit more mournful, is the saxophone almost sounds like crying.
Rob CarmackHOST
You know what I mean? It's like, you know, I'm not going to cry in the song, but the saxophone gives me the feeling like maybe that's what I'm hearing anyway.
Maylee ThomasHOST
But I'm going to do a song.
Maylee ThomasHOST
Because we talked about this in the interview from when I was back playing with Clarence Clemons.
Maylee ThomasHOST
If you guys don't know about that, I had a beautiful relationship with Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band for many, many years.
Maylee ThomasHOST
And he's played on several of my records and songs.
Maylee ThomasHOST
But this particular one, he's actually singing some background and you can hear his prolific voice.

Maylee ThomasHOST
So I want everybody to really, really take a listen to this.
Maylee ThomasHOST
And, I mean, you captured a moment for me.
Maylee ThomasHOST
You know, I had a very similar reaction to when Clarence Clemons passed away because I was able to play with him for many, many years when he wasn't with Bruce.
Michael RyanHOST
So we've got those items.
Michael RyanHOST
I do think as sort of like a nod and an honor to Clarence Clemons, who was the longtime saxophonist in the E Street Band, I do think a little saxophone would... would be appropriate to, you know, help summon Bruce.
Dustin BallardHOST
Absolutely.
Dustin BallardHOST
Absolutely.
ChrisHOST
The title song, which we heard way back at song 2906, a number seven peak, by the way, and the song Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves, which peaked at number 18 and featured the Eurythmics.
ChrisHOST
This one was her best hit off of that album, a number three hit called Freeway of Love, featuring saxophonist Clarence Clemons from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, went all the way up to number three after spending 14 weeks in the top 40.
ChrisHOST
It's song number 1402, Aretha Franklin and Freeway of Love.
ChrisHOST
Pound for Pound has the best voice of the rock era, in my personal opinion.
Thomas Dean DonnellyGUEST
Oh, I'm from Jersey.
Thomas Dean DonnellyGUEST
I'm from, Bruce Springsteen was, you know, Clarence Clemons in the E Street Band.
Thomas Dean DonnellyGUEST
His son was a classmate of mine at my high school.
Thomas Dean DonnellyGUEST
So members of the E Street Band were at my high school.
Jerry OstroskiHOST
I mean, I think his attitude and the way he plays is infectious.
Jerry OstroskiHOST
So Alec Anderson on offense, defensively, how can you deny the big man? And I'm not talking Clarence Clemons.
Jerry OstroskiHOST
I'm talking Deion Walker, man.
Jerry OstroskiHOST
Deion's been playing at an amazing rate, has really done a good job in the middle of that defense.

Yeah.
Nick MartellHOST
John Coltrane rocked the sax in the 50s and the 60s.
Nick MartellHOST
Then Clarence Clemons and the E Street Band in the 70s and 80s.
Nick MartellHOST
And then the sax bridged from jazz to become rock and roll's lead instrument.
Nick MartellHOST
But pause the pod because...
Mike TrujilloPANELIST
I like that solo on there.
