Today's my last day in school. And when I wrote a goodbye letter to my favorite teacher, I couldn't think of a way to finish it that would describe how much I was going to miss him. And the only thing I could say was this song, as from the lines: "If you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you, and all the miles in between..." Because that's what Bruce does. He takes feelings that you don't know how to express, and writes them down word by word. Like no one else. And we all owe him thanks for that.

We will never, ever see his like again. Rock and roll will truly die the day he departs this mortal coil.

The reason The Boss puts on such a great show has less to do with his musical ability and singing, and has everything to do with the joy and love that goes into every performance. The guys have a blast on stage, and the audience gets to come to the party. We'll all miss Clarence, who was the soul of E-Street. Rest in peace, dude.

This is the greatest song on this subject ever written.

"Just to say I miss you babe, Good Luck, Good Bye"... to all my friends in high school. We probably will not ever see each other again, but I Loved the times we spent together...I'll miss you... Best of Luck!!!

Clarence was the best ... the big man... as Bruce said: "the only sax playin' quarterback i ever knew..." WE MISS YOU SIR! Godfather of Soul!

you guys, i'm 19 years old... but i was raised listening to this... the MAGIC of this song, the imagery, that girl that you all know... summer nights turn to separation by time... and you look back and you think about her... hopeing everything is wonderful... but you miss those times... that is effing MAGIC!

I said goodbye to a great friend today and showed her this song. Thanks, Bruce, Big Brother Clarence, and the rest of you E Street guys :)

I once read a critics' negative review of this song, and couldn't help thinking how dam' LUCKY the guy was for NOT being able to relate. For all those who ever blew a great chance beyond redemption, when all you can do is hand it off to the Big Man and pray for healing. Good night, Clarence Clemons. Godspeed.

Bruce's lyrics on this song are truly great and moving and complimented so well by The Big Man's Sax solo at the end. I love Clarence's sax solos on any Bruce song, but this is by far my favorite...

In the 70"s my Ex worked at the Record Museum in Philadelphia. He brought this album home one night and said I had to stop cooking and listen to it. We looked at each other and laughed, we were so amazed with the music. We were hooked. At the Tower Theatre new years eve 1975 we sat 4 rows from the stage. (His job always guaranteed good seats at any venue...yeah) At the end of the concert, the crowd just seemed to float out of the theatre in silence, totally speechless. We were done. Bruce had said all there was to say. It is the best concert I've ever attended. An unforgettable experience that I treasure to this day..

Still love this song, after all these years. Big Man on the saxophone....doesn't get better than that! 🎷

Bruce just nails this song. One of my favorites. Takes me back to 12 years old with my ghetto blaster...

Damn Bruce writes some of the greatest music ever. His words are so much more better than I thought when I was younger. Means so much more now cause I have grown up

My song to my sister Erin who moved to LA to follow her dream. She's doing great but I miss her every day.

one of my favorite songs by the Boss. The "Bobbie Jean" in this song is Dana to me.

I can close my eyes and remember August 9th 1985 Bruce Springsteen Concert Tour, Soldier Field, Chicago....My girlfriend and I listening to this song and so many more. This song is from the sound track that is my life.

I can't express it any better than the Boss did: ". with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band". RIP, BIG MAN

Awwwww. This is my favourite song of ALL TIME and wouldn't be half as great as it is without The Big Man's contribution. So bummed out that he he's gone. :(

RIP "Big Man". You will forever be a part of my life. You had a style and grace that will never be duplicated.
