Ah. Fuck No.



According to reports, Clarence Big Man Clemons died today.
Shit.
My sympathy to his family. My sympathy to the world.



I'm so sad. Jesus. I'm so sad.

  1. Well, I'm glad that you were the one who told me.

    I'm sad, too.

    I stood next to him with his arm around me at a benefit for epilepsy many years ago. What a joyful man.

  7. My husband and I cried in each others arms when we heard this. We loved him so, it felt like a family member had passed. The 6 times we were in this man's presence... well it was just magical. When Clarence stepped forward for his sax solo, the emotion of pure joy filled me. And the loss of that is why the world feels so much darker and sadder tonight. The Big Man is gone.

    Tamara- One of mine, too.

    Beth- Hard to believe.

    Andrew- He is pure white light now. That's what he said would happen and I have no doubt that it did.

    Danielle- I know. But it seemed like when he played, he was in no pain.

    Angie D- I only got to see him live twice but it was enough. Pure joy. You're right.
