We lost an amazing singer/songwriter this week. Vic Chesnutt passed away on Christmas day and left behind a legacy that touched people around the world not to mention a huge library of music. He influenced artist like R.E.M., Widespread Panic, Billy Bob Thornton and thousands in between. Unfortunately some of the things in life that inspired his songwriting also took his life. He could touch your heart, and then disgust you.
Vic, you will be missed.
