I was listening to that song earlier today.

According to Goodman's biography, by Clay Eals, some of his ashes were sprinkled in left field, near the ivy, so that they would waft over the wall to Waveland Avenue.

Not long afterward, his widow Nancy and his daughters went to Cooperstown. At the home plate of Doubleday Field, they sprinkled the rest of his remains. They sneaked over the gate at night to put him there, where legends belong.

I blame trump for the loss of John Prine. It may be illogical, but trump did NOTHING about covid.
