Remembering Big Man's birthday, and two of his best live recordings, released a quarter-century ago
Remembering Big Man's birthday, and two of his best live recordings, released a quarter-century ago
January 11, 2026This year marks what would have been the 84th birthday of our beloved Clarence "Big Man" Clemons, born on this date back in 1942. (Happy Clarence Clemons Day 2026, New Jersey!) And just over two-and-a-half months from now, 2026 also will mark the 25th anniversary of the first officially released recordings of two of Bruce Springsteen's greatest songs: "American Skin (41 Shots)" and "Land of Hope and Dreams," both included on the album Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band: Live i
Saving what's left of Tillie and the Palace should be one of outgoing NJ Gov. Murphy's resolutions.
Saving what's left of Tillie and the Palace should be one of outgoing NJ Gov. Murphy's resolutions.
January 5, 2026In this, his final month in office, outgoing New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy - a self-proclaimed Springsteen fan - has a relatively easy-peasy, no-brainer chance to save what's left of Asbury Park's demolished-in-2004 Palace Amusements building ("the Palace" in the "Beyond the Palace..." lyric of "Born to Run,") including its iconic Tillie mural, pictured below. By all means, this should be one of Murphy's new-year resolutions.Last September, Preservation New Jersey's Executive Di

December 31, 2025Happy New Year to one and all, Dear Readers! In 2025, we Springsteen fans certainly ended up with quite a lot to experience, enjoy (at least most of the time,) and discuss. Once again, continuing what quickly has become a year-end tradition, Letters To You has joined forces with our friend Jesse Jackson at the Set Lusting Bruce podcast to discuss the "Springsteen 2025 Year in Review." Clocking in at almost three hours - and that's AFTER the editing! - Jesse hosted a conversation

December 25, 2025It's Christmas morning here on the East Coast of the U.S., which is probably the most appropriate time for us to wish all of our readers celebrating around the globe a Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noël, etc. Season's Greetings from the Letters To You home-office, located just a snowball's throw away from the town where the special Nugs/Live Archives series Christmastime 2025 50th-anniversary remaster/re-release of Tower Theater, Philadelphia 1975 was r

The late, great Joe Ely, 1947-2025, didn't have to walk that lonesome valley by himself...
December 20, 2025From Bruce Springsteen's official website/social-media statement on the passing of the great "Lord of the Highway," Joe Ely, who died earlier this week on Monday from complications of Lewy Body Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and pneumonia:"Over here, we’re deeply saddened by the loss of Joe Ely, a singular American singer, great musician and great artist. I was lucky enough to count Joe as a true friend and I will miss that voice and his companionship. Our hearts go out to his w

This latest Nugs/Live Archive "First Friday" drop is definitely MUCH more than "good enough" for us!
December 6, 2025Yesterday's "First Friday" release from the monthly Nugs/Live Archive series is another great show from The Wrecking Ball Tour: HK Areena, Turku, FIN - May 8, 2013. It's one of the best examples of how varied and full of surprises the shows on that tour could be, with Bruce Springsteen & the (newly expanded) E Street Band taking on nightly sign-requests and major setlist changes. Most important, they did all of that while maintaining their well-known musical excellence, consisten

"...that little boy..." - Ethan Zane Browne, 1973-2025
November 29, 2025This week, we at Letters To You were shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of Ethan Zane Browne at only 52 years of age. Ethan was the son of Jackson Browne and the late Phyllis Major. During his short life, he did some modeling, some acting, and - as one-half of the duo Alain Zane - he also made some pretty damned good R&B/soul music.In the now-hard-to-find 1980 film No Nukes, there's a sweet scene of Jackson Browne carrying five-year-old Ethan backstage to meet his

Time Will Tell: The Underrated Importance of Jimmy Cliff to Bruce Springsteen's Music
November 26, 2025It is well known, as it should be, that Jimmy Cliff, whose death at 81 was announced yesterday, has had an enormous and enduring musical impact around the globe. In addition, many Bruce Springsteen fans, myself included, feel an extra debt of gratitude to Cliff for writing and recording the original version of the song "Trapped." Springsteen found a Jimmy Cliff cassette that included Cliff's version of "Trapped" (which, incidentally, was produced by Cat Stevens) while shopping i

November 10, 2025A lot has changed - some forever, and not for better - in the nearly two decades since Bruce Springsteen's 2007 album Magic and the 2007-2008 tour that followed it. But in 2025, when you're still stuck in radio nowhere and just want to hear a Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band musical performance with some strong, explicit, and sane politics behind it, while continuing your search for a world with some soul, it just doesn't get any better than Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA - Octo
