Clarence Clemons, side man and saxophone player for the E Street Band for the past 40 years, stopped by the studio to talk about his new biography Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales.

For the first time ever comes Clemons' never-before-told adventures with Bruce Springsteen, the band, and an incredible cast of other famous characters recounted by himself and his best friend, television writer/producer Don Reo.

Here are just a few things you'll get from reading it:
• The truth behind the final hours of making Born To Run
• The real story of how the E-Street Band got its name
• What happened when Clarence and Ringo Starr were sitting in a hotel room and Clarence got the call that Bruce was breaking up the band
• How Bruce and Clarence met that dark, stormy night at the Student Prince
• The E-Street band's show at Sing-Sing prison where all of their equipment blows out right as they take the stage
• The secret that Robert De Niro told Clarence and Bruce they had to keep for 25 years

Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales is available in stores now. You can meet Clemons in person at these signing:

- 10/23, 7PM Borders in Bridgewater, NY
- 10/24, 1PM Borders in Ridgewood, NJ

i"m a born american never left the states 36 yrs,
being that i have a felony, and applying myself to many programs, jobs, & so on, you name it, and no progress,
They the people and the goverment really discriminate against a person with a criminal back round, They saying even if you change your life we want you to stay a criminal.
If you look at the crimerate of 2009 you will see a large percent of people have criminal back round. i wonder how they get jobs?
criminals dont want to hire another criminal cause thats all who have jobs these days.
Its sad when a resturant dont even want to hire you. foreigners came here and killed americans,american dream
Today i had a dis agreement wiyh a foreigner,because he said he dont like america and so on.i have my triditions and things it allmost turned ugly but i let go fo it because i know i would have lost in court.not because of my record only because i have one.
Is it worth it for me to continue my studies in school to persue my dreams to just join the army or just watch america let evrybody in our back yard and kick us out. where isn our defense?
