    Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the oppurtunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band. -- Bruce

    The Boss is the Boss.... but Clarence really made the E Street Band spectacular and distinctive. It was a pleasure seeing him live, and he will continue to rock stereos all over the world.

    We played king of the mountain out on the end
    The world come chargin' up the hill, and we were women and men
    Now there's so much that time, time and memory fade away
    We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take
    We stood side by side each one fightin' for the other
    We said until we died we'd always be blood brothers

    Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away
    Makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make
    And what once seemed black and white turns to so many shades of gray
    We lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay
    And it's a ride, ride, ride, and there ain't much cover
    With no one runnin' by your side my blood brother

    On through the houses of the dead past those fallen in their tracks
    Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back
    Now I don't know how I feel, I don't know how I feel tonight
    If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or I've gained sight
    I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call
    Or if any of this matters anymore after all

    But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
    I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
    My blood brother



    Gods speed Big Man, say hello to Danny Phantom .
    For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
    That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

    I thought they said he was getting better the other day, life is so screwed up.
