Music RIP Clem Burke

As a drummer and huge fan, this stinks.

Dude kept it in the pocket like no other. Drove songs. Great sound and one of my drumming idols. 70 years old.

I met Clem Burke at SXSW several years ago at Alejandro Escovedo's annual shin dig at The Continental. It was kind of a big jam on the Sunday to close out the festival every year for the people 'in the know'. I didn't get to play with him, but I met him and chatted a bit after being introduced. I was struck by how he looked EXACTLY the same as he had in Blondie's heyday. Weird. I met Peter Buck that year, too.
