Poetic Obituaries: On stage and off, he [Clarence Clemons] was a joy

to behold--flashing that million-watt smile as he gleefully pumped up his own larger-than-life persona, mugging for the camera, laughing large in that deep, velvety voice. On Twitter, he billed himself thusly: "Saxophonist, sexual adventurer, poet and author! And the Biggest Man you've ever seen!" (Egotistical? Nah. Consider the context: The man was once introduced by Springsteen, among other things, as the future king of England.)
