yelp. He never got officially discharged from the hospital. "when I get to heaven" comes to mind.

Crying. John Prine's music opened my eyes a lot.

NPR's "Fresh Air" had a fantastic tribute to Prine this afternoon. It was a re-run of an interview from 2018 I think. They played a lot of his music too. Really enjoyed it.

The local NPR out here did one the other day too.
A little hard to take but I had to listen.
In the end I was glad they did it.

RIP Mr. Daniels

I noticed Broadway star Nick Cordero died. He suffered horribly with Covid-19, had to have dialysis, had a leg amputated from blood clots. Last I heard is he needed a double lung transplant, his lungs were so damaged. They told his wife to say goodbye a couple weeks ago. This shows you how long modern medicine can keep you alive, when they should just let you go.

He was 41.

People attending Covid-19 parties are idiots.
