Clarence Clemons is dead. I know Carl does not have a high opinion of Bruce, but surely just about the most memorable moment in the so-called history of rock is a live performance of JUNGLELAND, thanks to young man Springsteen’s ambition to outdo Dylan by rooting his poetry in the real longings and places of almost-desperate young men, to the sheer intensity of the Big Man’s playing of the sax, and to the majestic sound of the E Street Band as a whole.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
