My heart is breaking! God speed, John Prine!

[LaMouffette]

I just found out that John Prine has died from coronavirus, and I am devastated and so very angry!!! Trump killed John Prine. Killed one of the kindest, gentlest, humblest, most insightful storytellers this world will ever know. R.I.P. John Prine!

1. I'm thinking there must be a lot of John Prine fans in trump's base

[blitzen]

5. Probably not, maybe some. John is a Leftist artist, like 90% of his compadres...

the ones who make good and real music that bears almost no resemblance to the cow crap that Trump's base is fed on via radio.

2. When John gets to heaven

All I keep thinking about is John's last great record, The Tree of Forgiveness - a must have now with hos passing.

The last tune sums it all up for John - and me, When I Get to Heaven!

(except)
When I get to heaven, I'm gonna shake God's hand
Thank him for more blessings than one man can stand
Then I'm gonna get a guitar and start a rock-n-roll band
Check into a swell hotel; ain't the afterlife grand?

And then I'm gonna get a cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
Yeah, I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl
'Cause this old man is goin' to town

Rest in Peace, John Prine

3. Very sad

I thought he was getting better. But I believe he had a weakened lung from past cancer. I am looking into his music, which will live on.

7. He was the poor man's poet.

It is such a great loss. I believe John went to Paradise.

8. My heart is crying.

R.I.P. John.
