starladyThe peerless saxophonist and key member of The E Street Band, Clarence Clemons, has died at the age of 69.
Fuck. Just, fuck. I grew up on Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band to the extent that I tried to deny it and only realized just how awesome they were and how much I loved them when I moved out of Jersey to college in Minnesota. Clarence Clemons is an irreplacable talent, and we're all poorer without him.
ETA: Appreciations from The NY Times and The New Yorker. The New Yorker's is better. /eta
His last performance is probably in Lady Gaga's newest video, "The Edge of Glory," which I embed below.
