RIP Robbie Robertson
Unspeakably sad news. His songwriting and guitar playing made such a lasting impact on music and in fact changed the direction of music in the late 60's from psychedelic to a more roots based approach. Huge Loss RS

As if we didn't have enough devastating news
The great John Prine has died & I am heartbroken.
I always saw him as a sort of Mark Twain figure
A humorist but mainly a humanist. He could make you laugh one moment and rip your heart open in the next.
He always very nice to me RS

Part 2) As a kid she was always fun to be around.
A bit of a tomboy yet very pretty, vibrant and caring

Sorry to be still on about the "blue checkmark" nonsense. But for me, the blue heart is actually better cos anyone can have it. It's not divisive. It rejects misinformation, hatred, bullying, shunning and banishment. It's represents empathy & kindness.
