Vic Chestnutt I’ll miss you

Vic Chesnutt was only 45 when he died
I am still in shock to report the singer/songwriter Vic Chestnutt died Dec 25th 2009 after a week-long coma brought on by an overdose of muscle relaxers. I was truly saddened to hear this news. Vic was/is one of my all time favorite musicians and a constant comfort and inspiration to me as an artist. I will never forget how a cassette tape with Vic’s The Salesman and Bernadette on one side and West of Rome on the other helped pull me through a particularly tough bout of artist’s block my senior year at SAIC. Vic Chestnutt had a way of putting his heart and soul into his music. His lyrics were playful and funny but also wise and painfully candid. He was truly unique and will be missed.
