Thoughts and prayers to his wonderful extended family...including his fans...RIP Clarence.

What an iconic figure.
Popular music is richer for his presence.
I'm sure he's already found his place in the "heavenly" band.

RIP

A friend said U2 paid tribute to Clarence last night: I would have enjoyed seeing that (the rest of the concert too.) I love that Bono inducted Bruce/EStreet into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and then Bruce repaid the favor for U2. I love the old bootlegs and videos from the 70's when they had an onstage energy that was incredible. I didn't have wheels and was a young teen in Kansas and was not able to see them live until the 80's...still an incredible experience for me. Clarence will be missed and I think that is an understatement. I wonder if EStreet will continue.
