E-Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons passed away earlier this evening, a few days after a stroke. He was 69.
While his passing probably means the end of the E-Street Band, Bruce Springsteen's longtime backing unit, it is likely to produce the following exchange at the Eschaton:
Archangel Gabriel raises horn to lips, prepares to blow the trumpet as described in First Corinthians 15:52. Tall figure with a snappy fedora and a strangely curved instrument taps him on the shoulder.
Clarence Clemons: That's OK, Gabe. I got this.
Archangel Gabriel and the numberless hosts of Heaven assembled: "Blow, Big Man!"
