E Street Band’s Clarence Clemons Answers Burning Questions From the “Rolling Stone” Twitter

9/18/09, 4:04 pm EST

Even though Bruce Springsteen is set to perform tomorrow night, September 20th, at Chicago’s United Center, we somehow managed to get E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons to stop by the Rolling Stone offices today to speak to the RS crew and, as our followers on Twitter found out, answer questions directly from the fans. You sent the tweets and now Clemons has your answers. In these exclusive videos, the Big Man fields questions about his favorite acting role, what Springsteen album he wants to play live in its entirety and much more. Check out Clemons answering the fans’ burning inquires below:

@StevenGiaier: You guys are performing Born to Run in Chicago. What other album would you most like to perform in its entirety?

@frontrow88: How was the sax solo on “Jungleland” conceived?

@LIFEONMARS1971: Do you think your music passion is stronger now with age, or stronger when you are young, hungry and naive?

@theTVauthority: Clarence, what was your favorite acting role?

Clarence — Great interview – you look and sound great! It was interesting to hear about the making of Jungleland – always one of my favorites!

Big Man, what a cool interview. First of all, you still look and play like a young man. You are such an inspiration to so many. Standing tall and playing big for 30 plus years. So many memories with your sound in the background. Cant wait for the book, best seller for sure! Thanks for being the Biggest Man
