John Prine, having had a greater influence on and benefit to my life, deserves more words than I have words for this morning. I could get angry at this virus that finally took him out but the fact is it’s been coming for a while. That’s the way that the world goes ’round, as he would say. As he did say. Still hurts, but I always knew this day was coming. He carried me through a lot of long, dark nights though. That’s for sure.
