Vic Chesnutt Dead at 45

Very sad to record Vic's passing here, just a few weeks after touting the strength of his new album, At the Cut. Vic reported to Terry Gross in a recent NPR interview that he no longer felt the suicidal impulses which stalked him earlier in his life, but death's a dog that never gives up the hunt for long. Vic had financial and health problems which could drive anyone to despair. Vic Chesnutt, dead by his own hand (prescription meds overdose) at age 45. RIP.
