One Of The Best Ever - Victim Of Covid-19
- Thread starter Kickin' Chicken
- Start date
Chicken, thanks for posting this, he was definitely a legend. I knew he was a mailman, but never saw the picture of him shooting pool, he was one of us!
I really struggle to understand some of the posters in this thread, how someone can be so callous about another persons life, and death, is really sad. It speaks volumes about their worth as human beings.

Those who end sentences with propositions should not throw grammar stones. Please realize future posts crediting covid for deaths will be seen as political by many due to the lies and hysteria.
RIP singer man and pool player.
This was completely unnecessary. Completely. Take your political stuff to NPR, the only place where it belongs.
You have no excuse for this. You've been here long enough, and told enough.
From Rolling Stone Magazine:
Prine lives a quieter life these days. Usually he wakes up late, eats lunch at one of his favorite greasy meat-and-threes, then maybe washes his car, shoots pool or takes a nap before browsing eBay for old cars late into the night. “I look busy for a living,” Prine deadpans. “I leave the house so it appears I did something. Fiona knows to never ask me what I did today. She knows it’s absolutely nothing.”

What's a POPTUS???
I'm glad he was able to enjoy the easy life, it's always good and bad when you get there. I look forward to spending days like him doing "Absolutely nothing " but I know my life is getting short when I get there.
RIP sir. Thanks for posting.
Swype and proofread fail. Sue me. He typed "over."

There is actually nothing wrong grammatically with ending a sentence with a preposition, it just sounds less formal to do so.
.......(no words).
I got to see his last 2 New Years shows In Nashville. The last show he did like an 45minute encore! It was epic! I’ll never forget. Will cherish the times I got to watch him. Peace
I got to see him one time, about 20 years ago. The Everly Bros used to come back to Kentucky and do a hometown concert every year. John was a friend of theirs and was invited to perform at one of their concerts. The whole concert was fantastic, open air, sit on lawn chairs, drink a few beers. It was great, I miss those times.

Hard to face the reality that John's gone.
"But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun"

Never heard of him.
However, liked his style after Just listening to a few songs. Will Definitely listen to some more
Even as a kid couldn’t understand how anyone with 2 brain cells could be so dumb to smoke. I’m almost his age and doing a 16 km hike in our Canadian Rockies this week. Oh well, breathing must be over rated.
Re Coronavirus. Our province has just over 4 million people. Exactly 19 have died who didn’t have a previously know condition. We have had more admissions to ER for bicycle mishaps in the last month than the Virus. Be safe but don’t be hysterical.
