Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

From Fiona Whelan Prine...
Our beloved John died yesterday evening at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville TN. We have no words to describe the grief our family is experiencing at this time. John was the love of my life and adored by our sons Jody, Jack and Tommy, daughter in law Fanny, and by our grandchildren.
John contracted Covid-19 and in spite of the incredible skill and care of his medical team at Vanderbilt he could not overcome the damage this virus inflicted on his body.
I sat with John - who was deeply sedated- in the hours before he passed and will be forever grateful for that opportunity.
My dearest wish is that people of all ages take this virus seriously and follow guidelines set by the CDC. We send our condolences and love to the thousands of other American families who are grieving the loss of loved ones at this time - and to so many other families across the world.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outpouring of love we have received from family, friends, and fans all over the world. John will be so missed but he will continue to comfort us with his words and music and the gifts of kindness, humor and love he left for all of us to share.
In lieu of flowers or gifts at this time we would ask that a donation be made to one of the following non profits

Great singer/songwriter with not a bad song in his catalog. I remember when I was maybe 12, my buddy brings a cassette over with "John Prine" written on it. It was his Dad's who is a big classic rock guy. Never knew him to listen to anything but. I vaguely recall the songs we heard on that tape and it wasn't till I was much older did I realize why his Dad had that tape. It was because John Prine was so freaking good! RIP John Prine. The best songwriter I ever heard.Isaiah 5:20Comment

Saw this on twitter and got a smile. Prefer that this is the last video of Prine I see:

Songwriter Mac McAnally's remarks on Prine following his death: He related that he last saw Prine in the airport months ago. They stopped and talked for awhile and he said that Prine had said he was happier than he'd ever been.Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought.

I have to admit I know very little about Mr Prine, although with the way I love music, i may know more than I realize. From reading his wife's words, like all of us he was first a husband, father and grandpa, which was his most important legacy. I pray for his family during this time.John 3:3

Jason Isbell, my favorite artist, wrote a loving and beautiful tribute to Prine in The NY Times.
