IT WAS A WONDERFUL LIFE

I was extrememly saddened to hear about his passing as well. I saw him perform a few years back and he totally captivated me with his gentle presence. Rest in Peace, Mr. Linkous.
My condolences to the close friends and relatives and may we hope that he has found his peace finally.
Too many lately if you ask me.
Sometimes it's such a fine thread that we are trying to hold on to...
So very sad.
A reminder to show everyone they are loved and appreciated.
Love to Mark, wherever he is - and to his family and friends.
I was pretty saddened also. Not many of my favourite musicians have passed away (as far as I can recall, only St Thomas and, er, Scatman John), so was quite stunned about Mark's death. He's done some absolutely lovely music.
Like the song anyhow.
Yes - and it seemed things were just happening for him again. Apparently he was very affected by Vic Chesnutt's death
Yeah, I knew they were friends and so kind of thought that it must have had some impact. I think there will likely still be another Sparklehorse album, seeing as he was working on one, but it is still quite sad to know that there won't ever be any more songs after that.
