Goodbye, Big Man

Clarence Clemons has died.  I'd heard he'd had a stroke, but I didn't know how serious it was.  The E Street Band band was full of outsized characters, but none bigger than Clemons, whose saxophone and personality made him as memorable as Springsteen.

It's probably why he got to be head of the Three Most Important People In The World.



I don't think he was ever shown to better advantage than on Springsteen's breakthrough album Born To Run.
