Bummer. Amazing drummer. Dreaming is one of my favorites by him. He was still killing that song to this day. RIP, Clem, and thanks for all the great music and memories.

So sad.

70 is the new 90.

"...a teenage Burke played in some cover bands while marching in a drum corps..."

He marched with St. Andrews Bridgemen (later to become the even more famous Bayonne Bridgemen) for you Drum and Bugle Corps fans out there...

This guy was surely in the top 10 rock drummers of all time.

Probably top 5.

He always reminded me of a young Paul McCartney.

I consider 70s music to be the Dark Ages of music. I can’t stand listening to most of it to this day. When “Heart of Glass” came out in 1979 it really heralded what was to become the Renaissance that the 80s were. Blondie will always be one of my all-time favorite groups.

All that is over now. Does Jesus know him, is all we keep.

Pharoah’s pyramids build over other pharoahs....hills of shifting sand.

God have mercy on his soul.

Rest in Peace Clem. He was a favorite here. He looked like a Trump voter to me.
