Rip John Prine

RIP MR. Prine

I heard last night he passed from the beer flue. I do know he has had some health issues over the last few years that hes been fighting, so im sure that increased his chances from dying of beer flue.

One of my favorites of his.

Per Wikipedia...

In early 1998, Prine was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer on the right side of his neck. He had major surgery to remove a substantial amount of diseased tissue, followed by six weeks of radiation therapy.The surgery removed a piece of his neck and severed a few nerves in his tongue, while the radiation damaged some salivary glands. A year of recuperation and speech therapy was necessary before he could perform again. The operation altered his vocals, and added a gravelly tone to his voice.

In 2013, Prine underwent surgery to remove cancer in his left lung. After the surgery, a physical therapist put him through an unusual workout to build stamina: Prine was required to run up and down his house stairs, grab his guitar while still out of breath and sing two songs. Six months later, he was touring again.

Made me laugh.

I had the fortunate chance to see him in a small 50 seat bar in D.C. around 1987. Just him and his guitar, absolutely fantastic and memorable.

hate to see him go.

I’m not even a religious person but this has always been one of my favorite John Prine songs.

“ when you’re dead, you’re a dead peckerhead”.

RIP John Prine
