Bobby_GHoney I'm...

I just think its time to retire the 'E Street Band' name. To me, the spirit of the band died when Danny died. Clarence can barely play (or walk) anymore. Yet Bruce and several of the other ESB members can still play at a very high level.

Give it a new name ("The Bruce Springsteen Band"? hell, go back to "Dr. Zoom and The Sonic Boom" for all I care). Get members of the former ESB, SSB, whomever works.

I was listening to the boot of the WIESS show at MSG last November. During 'Higher and Higher', the sax player (can't remember the guys name) did a great, ballsy sax solo. Clarence has (sadly) been incapable of this kind of playing for quite some time.

The release of The Promise is going to show the E Street Band, in all its youthful glory, at what was arguably their high-water mark. Now is a good time to start a new chapter.
