Clarence Clemons, 1942-2011
The E Street Band--and the entire world of rock & roll--suffered a terrible loss over the weekend with the passing of Clarence Clemons at age 69. The larger-than-life figure's saxophone playing formed an essential part of the Springsteen vibe, as anyone who has ever listened to "Rosalita" or "Badlands" would attest. But perhaps Clemons's most memorable work was the three-minute solo at the heart of the epic "Jungleland."
