John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19

My sympathy goes out to his family, friends and millions of admiring fans. This makes me very sad. He was, by all accounts, a wonderful person. He will be missed.

Hadn't thought about John Prine in a very long time. Growing up in the Chicago area presented a lot of opportunities, even for a dimwit like me. Happened to fall in with some good people. Very late 60s and early 70s was able to go to some clubs in Chicago's Old Town for music and comedy. I had the great fortune to hear John Prine. A talent who could touch me, if you know what I mean. Don't know about the acoustics of the clubs, likely wouldn't pass muster here, but I doubt I could ever duplicate the experience with any system today. That goes for many experiences from back then. One of the worst parts of getting old, saying goodbye to those who helped shape us old farts and built our memories.
John Prine had prior heart problems and cancer. His immune system was compromised. They do know he had contacted Covid 19. Many who die from coronavirus have compromised immune systems, and are even dying of the other condition but its being counted as a coronavirus death in the stats.

Many people are now walking around with Covid 19 and have no idea they have it. And, are afraid of getting it! There’s the irony.

Its propaganda that drives the masses to panic rather than treating it logically. If you know how.. You can get a herd of placid cows to stampede by making them panic. Refuse to be herd bound!   Learn how to nutritionally boost your immune system.  Smoking compromises the lungs integrity.  Eating and drinking wrong as well.
