Clarence Clemons Has Had A Stroke

Bad news for music fans, but not the worst it could be, not yet. Clarence Clemons, the incredible saxophonist of Bruce Springsteen's E Street band, is seriously ill after suffering a stroke. (The dKos diary has lots of video links of Clarence at his best.)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Big Man.

Terry Pratchett Starts To Say Farewell

Dammit, the bad news keeps coming. Cory Doctorow reports that Terry Pratchett, suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's, is beginning the process of assisted suicide.

I have never understood why some people are so adamant in preventing other people who are suffering from ending the suffering once and for all. The man wants to die before his quality of life, his very mind, is compromised too much. This shouldn't be a choice at all, nor a situation for the law.

May things go well, sir, and may you go when and how you choose, with all the dignity you deserve.

If you feel inspired to share favorite lines, characters, or scenes from Mr. Pratchett's works, I don't think he'd find that amiss.
