John Prine, One of America’s Greatest Songwriters, Dead at 73
Grammy-winning singer who combined literary genius with a common touch succumbs to coronavirus complications
John Prine, who for five decades wrote rich, plain-spoken songs that chronicled the struggles and stories of everyday working people and changed the face of modern American roots music, died Tuesday at Nashville’s Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He was 73. The cause was complications related to COVID-19, his family confirmed to Rolling Stone.
This disease, the lack of preparation for it, and poor corrupt reaction to it, has already decimated so much of our human capital. We will not ever be the same; we must become better...
Musical shares are appreciated. I wasn’t as familiar with his work as I should have been, and I find myself often these days learning to appreciate people more after they’re gone. So too here….
Sorry, to be the bearer of such bad news, y’all. I know he deeply touched a lot of lives in this here community.
