Farewell, Big Man.

Dim the lights and play the sax down low.... the house band is no more. *mourns*.

EtA: and only now am I really starting to understand that although Bruce will probably tour again, there will be no more E Street concerts. They kept going after Danny (Federici) died of cancer in 2008, but... without the Big Man, there isn't an E Street any more. You can't replace the sound or the Man. I can't imagine Bruce even trying.

No more tent show rock and roll revival meetings. *is sad, not for herself, but for anyone who never saw the magic come alive*

I'm going to miss him.

That is just rough. We always hope for the best when we hear about our favorite people being sick or injured. And it just guts us when we lose them.
