E Street sax man Clarence Clemons dies
(CNN) -- Legendary rock saxophonist Clarence Clemons died Saturday of complications from a stroke, bandmate Bruce Springsteen said. He was 69.
Clemons had played sax in Springsteen's E Street Band off and on since 1972.
"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," Springsteen said in a statement.
"His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly 40 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."

Last I heard, Clemons was in hospital because of the stroke. Damn. Didn't know he'd passed.
Bill Haast in 1996 at his serpentarium in Punta Gorda, Fla., with a Chinese cobra.
Bill Haast, who was bitten at least 173 times by poisonous snakes, died of natural causes at his home in southwest Florida on Wednesday. He was 100.
Haast was the director of the Miami Serpentarium Laboratories and handled more than three million poisonous snakes in his lifetime. He sustained 20 nearly fatal bites.
Haast, the self-proclaimed Snakeman, built his immunity by injecting himself every day for more than 60 years with a mix of venoms from 32 snake species according to the New York Times. He suspected the inoculations were contributing to his long life.
Haast made it into Ripleys Believe It or Not attractions and his original Serpentarium attracted 50,000 tourists a year for 40 years.
Haast helped a Miami doctor treat more than 6,000 people with a snake-venom serum and traveled the world to donate his antibody-rich blood to 21 different snakebite victims. He was made an honorary citizen of Venezuela after he ventured deep into the jungle to give a pint of his blood to a boy.
William E. Haast was born on Dec. 30, 1919 in Paterson, NJ. He caught his first garter snake at the age of 7 and received his first serious snake bite when he was 12 at Boy Scout camp. He dropped out of school at 16, when he joined a roadside snake show that was heading towards Florida in the late 1920s.
Haast later enrolled in an airline mechanics school and found a job as a flight engineer with Pan American World Airways. He used the opportunity to smuggle snakes, including his first cobra, in his toolbox.
Haast is survived by his wife, the former Nancy Narnell, two daughters, three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Nancy was his third wife. His first wife, Ann, divorced him over his snake obsession. His second wife was Clarita.
Haast closed his original serpentarium in 1984 after a 6-year-old boy fell into his crocodile pit and was fatally mauled. He returned to Florida in 1990 and opened the facility in Punta Gorda, where he raised and milked snakes but did not resume his snake show.
For as much as Haast enjoyed snakes, he knew they did not return his feelings.
You could have a snake for 30 years and the second you leave his cage door cracked, hes gone, Haast told Outside magazine in 1997. And theyll never come to you unless youre holding a mouse in your teeth.
Twice the legal limit + 132-140 mph = Dead Jackass
'Jackass' star legally drunk at time of crash

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Jackass star Ryan Dunn's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when he fatally crashed on a Chester County highway Monday morning, West Goshen Township police said.
Toxicology results released Wednesday showed the 34-year-old West Chester resident had a blood alcohol level of 0.196, well over the state's limit of .08.
Police said that level of intoxication combined with the fact Dunn and his passenger 30-year-old Zachary Hartwell were driving at speeds of more than 130 miles per hour likely caused them to veer off the Route 322 bypass near the Pottstown Pike exit before 3 a.m. Monday.
The pair were spotted drinking hours before the wreck at Barnaby's of America in West Chester, but bar manager James O'Brien said earlier this week that Dunn did not look intoxicated.
Preliminary autopsy reports released Tuesday showed that both Dunn and Hartwell died from blunt force trauma and thermal damage, inflicted by the flames that erupted from the Porsche 911 GT3 moments after the crash.
Curiosity-seekers continued to gather at the crash site Wednesday leaving flowers and gifts. A private memorial service for Dunn is expected later this afternoon. Services for Hartwell are scheduled later this week.
"I hope all kids are listening and will learn a lesson from this," said April Margera, mother of Dunn's Jackass co-star Brandon "Bam" Margera. "No one should take unnecessary chances. I hope something positive can come from this tragedy."
In addition to the Jackass series, which ran on MTV between 2000 and 2002, Dunn also appeared on the network's reality shows such as Viva La Bam and Homewreckers. His latest venture -Proving Ground, a show in which Dunn attempted to recreate famous stunts from video games and movies - premiered on the G4 cable network last week.
It has since been pulled from the channel's schedule in deference to Dunn's death.

Jane Scott, legendary Plain Dealer rock writer, dies at age 92
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jane Scott, the legendary journalist who covered four decades of rock 'n' roll for The Plain Dealer, died early Monday after a long illness. She was 92. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Busch Funeral Home of Fairview Park. A memorial service will be held at a later date in Cleveland. Her byline appeared in the newspaper thousands of times, above music features, concert reviews and her long-running "What's Happening" column in Friday! magazine.

Bruce Springsteen serenaded her in concert. And when she met Bob Dylan, the World's Oldest Teenager (as Scott was affectionately known) got a peck on each cheek from the Voice of a Generation.
