Yesterday the text of Bruce Springsteen's eulogy for Clarence Clemons was posted on brucespringsteen.net and, from there, several other places. (I'm not linking because if I find the link, I'll re-read it and start crying and I'm at work.) It's really beautiful. They loved each other so much. Fully half of the eulogy is about how difficult Clarence

I'm not much of a Bruce fan, beyond the normal background radiation fandom of being alive and human and American all at the same time, but every time I see you talk about Clarence I want to cry myself.

Reading about Bruce's reaction is just making it worse. :(

::hugs:: NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH BANDS, SHINE. WHY DO WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES?

IF YOU TELL ME HE WAS THE BASS PLAYER I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.

And we do it because it's worth it. Mostly. [sniffles] Dammit.

[hugs you tightly]

SHE IS GREAT, BUT WHY WAS I ARGUING ABOUT HER IMAGINARY OSCAR WIN? AND WHY WAS WILLIAM FORGETTING ABOUT HER?

I get where you're coming from, with the Springsteen and E Street stuff. :/ Especially the reading stuff, believe me. Say what you like about Avenged Sevenfold - and people do - they're my band (or, one of them), and when their drummer died, it broke me. I still haven't read most of the interviews they did at the time, because I can't. I've only just been able to listen to their last album with him again.

So, um. What I'm trying to say, I guess, is that it's not an unusual reaction, and I feel for you, because I get it. I really do. ♥

♥ ♥ ♥ This is why I love fandom, because people really truly do get it.

I'm bad at this meme! My answers are uninspired!

You're not the only one. The muse question threw me especially because all I could really think to say was, I don't have one.
