R.I.P. Clarence Clemons

A great musician who together with The E Street Band made some of the greatest rock songs I've heard. This one for example...



Clarence's solo is at 3.04.

There's a Swedish dance band song about living in the here and now and not worrying about tomorrow. It goes;
"Yes, I know that it's two o'clock and it's late for a Sunday night
but nothing can get me away from here.
If one were wise one would go, but who wants to be rational
when one's got rock n roll and saxophone?"

I saw Bruce and the band i Gothenburg in 2008 and a couple of days before the concert I dreamt that I rode the tram through town with the band. I sat chatting with Clarence and told him about my job and my town and how excited I was about the concert. He was very nice.
