RIP: Asbury Sound original gone

Original E Street Band member and accomplished solo songwriter Bill Chinnock, 59, died this week at home in Maine. His manager says it was suicide. Apparently, he suffered serious Lyme disease.

Chinnock's blues and rock style on guitar, keyboard, vocals and songwriting helped launch Bruce Springsteen to fame. Fans might want to watch the Boss' cult sites to see what he says about Chinnock.

Chinnock's family has updated his Web site.
