[Music] RIP Justin Townes Earle

[Juan Albion]

A truly crappy year just got worse.

Only 38 years old.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Oh my goodness, that's terrible news. The son of my user name, but I have not followed his career in the same way. Steve has been clean for decades following his absolute fall to the bottom through addiction and jail, so the death of his son following years of addiction, albeit for currently undisclosed causes, has the potential to be all the more harrowing. I have no special insights in to Justin, but he was a fine, Grammy award winning, musician and songwriter. A sad loss both musically and to his family at this difficult time for us all.

Damn, that's awful.
He was very good.
Much like his dad, a little lost

JTE was great. We saw him a few years ago at the Albert.
