Fuck man, things look grim apparently. Trag just told me so I read up on it. I hope you pull through, Mr. Prine, but if not I know you'll be fishin' and whistlin' in heaven.

Colin Meloy and Martin Sexton (two of my favs) did live stream tributes to John tonight.

And I'm weeping.

You can gaze out the window get mad and get madder,
Throw your hands in the air, say,
"What does it matter?"
But it don't do no good to get angry,
So help me I know
For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter.
You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own
Chain of sorrow.

I left out the question mark. I meant: Stabilized into death?
