Justin Townes Earle, aged only 38. Fuck. What terrible news to wake up to. Life really does suck sometimes.

No shocker, but sounds like it was a drug overdose. Sad.

Justin Townes Earle, aged only 38. Fuck. I only just now saw this. I saw him trend the other day on social media, but assumed it was because he was releasing a new album or something. It really shouldn't come as a surprise, and yet it's still weird to process. He never struck me as a particularly "hopeful case," but I was still always rooting for him. Apparently he and his wife had a daughter a few years ago. Disappointing loss.

I know it's morbid and maybe even poor taste to to say this, but I can't be the only person thinking it. The loss of JTE hits in a particular way-- probably on account of his specific circumstances and struggles-- as another loss I would really, really hate to see show up in this thread, but always feel a lingering apprehension about.
I know most folks here have lost interest in the guy who originally brought us all together, and after the most recent bit of news that, in my opinion, showcased the man as an unequivocally manipulative narcissist who truly is beyond redeeming himself, I, too, have completely lost both interest and hope for his redemption... and yet when I think about him, I still feel this chronic, menacing sense of potential loss-- the way you do with addicts-- and how devastated I think I would still feel for some reason, even after ALLLL things considered.

When I first saw the news, my mind ran there too. It really is amazing Ryan has been able to pull through all the abuse he did his body back in the day, and from all appearances seems to be living a healthier lifestyle. Unlike many others I'm sure, I am still looking forward to new music, and hopeful he can get a career back.

Was never a fan, but it hurts me nonetheless. Dude was a legend.
