Tyler Clementi, Musician

Goddammit, I'm angry.

This appeared in the Times today:

It started with a Twitter message on Sept. 19: “Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”

Mr. Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman, is thought to have jumped off the George Washington Bridge.

That night, the authorities say, the Rutgers University student who sent the message used a camera in his dormitory room to stream the roommate’s intimate encounter live on the Internet.

And three days later, the roommate who had been surreptitiously broadcast — Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old freshman and an accomplished violinist — jumped from the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River in an apparent suicide.

Damn right he was a musician. A fine one. The universe is made up of three things; time, matter and energy. When they interact, you get music.

Universe without end...

There comes a point in every musician's life when you learn that music and your life are one in the same...forever.

As we read in Spoon River,

THE EARTH keeps some vibration going
There in your heart, and that is you.
And if the people find you can fiddle,
Why, fiddle you must, for all your life.

Don't worry Tyler, you're immortal.
