John Prine in critical condition [EDIT: RIP]

RIP. Fuck. Just fuck.

I feared this would happen. :frowning:

Shit.

Damn. So upset. Heard it from a guy sitting on his porch as I walked by.

Horrible, if not unexpected news. The music industry lost a giant.

Well, FUCK.

Music lost a songwriting legend to a damn virus.

I’m glad he was still writing & performing until almost the end. John’s wife said they had just returned from a European tour.

John Prine went out doing what he loved.

RIP

Edited title.

Thanks,** Aceplace57**. I’ve been a mess since I heard he’d died. I didn’t actually know Prine, but I was a very early fan, and I was always so proud he was from the Chicago suburb next to mine. He had a huge influence on me when I was young and unsure of who I was. I’ll try to focus on my gratitude now. Damn, it’s hard, though.

Yeah, to be honest, most of the time I knew of his existence I didn’t expect him to live a lot longer. I’m glad he did the same thing as my grandfather and beat my expectations for more than two decades.

Thankya, Mr. Prine. You brought me a lot of joy. Still do, as a matter of fact.

Fuck. This all sucks.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

Aw, crap.

This one really hurts.

Muther. Fuck! That really sucks. Damnit. :frowning:

I’m just going to leave this performance with him and Steve Goodman (another one of my local favorites, who we lost way too early), playing “Souvenirs” as a tribute. This performance is just so sweet to me. I hope he and Steve are jammin’ away again now. lifts glass

:frowning:

This one hurts hard.
mmm

I hope he’s smoking that cigarette that’s nine miles long.

My thoughts exactly. Hoping my radio station will play it on my way to work.

A funny, beautiful, empathetic soul and the great lyricist of our time.
