I saw that. And just posted it on the Covid Super Thread... I hate to hear this, Sure had some memories with a few of his songs...
Especially "Prop me up by the Jukebox" was a favorite.

RIP Joe Diffie.



“Complications caused by the virus” is a funny way to say it. A suppose if you’re shot, you don’t die from the gunshot, you die of the complications it causes to your ability to live.

Completely morbid question, and please excuse me if inappropriate, but should we start a thread for celebrities who die? Ugh, I don't even like typing that sentence because it just seems wrong.

John Prine damn this is awful.

Update from John Prine’s family - doesn’t sound good. I swear I just watched him on stage (online) like six weeks ago.

This can be the thread. It’s morbid but it’s reality.

I saw that Jimmy Edmonds is in horrible shape from Covid. He's one of my favorite all time baseball players. He busted his butt every game for my Angels and Cards.

Bruised Orange was a masterpiece

There’s another thread with a similar title, but after 1 post it took a turn more about the virus and other conditions.....and not about Joe.

This thread is for those who were fans.....I was a huge fan of his Garth/Alan Jackson 1990’s era country.

Joe was always the relatively unknown star that folks knew his songs but didn’t realize it was Diffie.

So many hits, but really only most notable for 3 songs......Prop Me Up, John Deere Green and Pickup Man.

Still enjoy his stuff today, and actually just heard him the other day speaking about Kenny Rogers.

So sad.

Here’s to you Joe!!!!

I’m not trying to derail the non-notable Covid victims discussion, but perhaps Bobby Hebert’s dad can be included here.

Hey guys, most of the posts here belong in the main thread. The topic is Notable Covid Victims.

Thanks, guys. I have merged the off-topic posts with the main thread. It was good discussion just not the best location.

I know I read somewhere that two former LSU athletes succumbed to the virus. Does anybody have that info?

Tom Dempsey has coronavirus but it sounds like it is mild.
