I'm still trying to find that bio of A.P. Carter...

No...

How sad.

im listening to tiffany nasatia lowe and its so hard to imagine her dying.

:( :( :(

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 15 May 2003 23:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn, man. Comes to all of us, but it's still no damn good. RIP

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 May 2003 23:10 (twenty-three years ago)

And sadly, I think Johnny is not too far behind. I don't think he will die from health complications, I think it will be from loneliness. He really loved that woman.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Thursday, 15 May 2003 23:16 (twenty-three years ago)

That is sad. Who'd have ever thought she'd go before Johnny? What will he do without her?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 15 May 2003 23:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow. Shocking and sad. The first thing everybody will mention is they thought Johnny would go first (or even daughter Carlene Carter) but the lady was a major, major talent on her own merits and her contributions to country and music in general will always be remembered.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Friday, 16 May 2003 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, can't believe she went first. Poor Johnny.
Shakey, have you read "Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone," about the Carter Family?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 16 May 2003 00:23 (twenty-three years ago)

This is very sad news. I feel bad for Johnny and the rest of her family. RIP.

I read this earlier today...very sad.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 16 May 2003 01:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Johnny, man...

― Wired Flounder (Wired Flounder), Friday, 16 May 2003 01:21 (twenty-three years ago)

damn damn damn
did anybody here the album she released in 2000-ish? I think it was only her second proper alb. She devoted the bulk of her life to simply keeping johnny alive, and while she deserves much gratitude for that, I for one would have liked to have HEARD her more...a truly amazing singer.

― Horace Mann (Not At Home), Friday, 16 May 2003 01:37 (twenty-three years ago)

RIP... poor Johnny

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 16 May 2003 02:28 (twenty-three years ago)

She was an angel.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Friday, 16 May 2003 05:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Unbelievably sad news.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Friday, 16 May 2003 06:24 (twenty-three years ago)

That's very sad news. My heart goes out to Johnny and the family.

I have to say my first thought was the same as Mike Taylor's, but I hope we're wrong.

― James Ball (James Ball), Friday, 16 May 2003 07:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Sad. Johnny's strong, I hope he gets through this somehow...

― willem (willem), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:35 (twenty-three years ago)

That new video of his will be even more painful to watch now, I guess (the NIN cover version). Hope he manages to carry on somehow - I keep thinking of Dennis Potter; his wife died first, and then he more or less gave up and passed away about ten days later. This is awful, awful news :-(

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 16 May 2003 09:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh God...

I hope Johnny doesn't go. This is so sad.

― David Allen, Friday, 16 May 2003 11:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Both my grandfathers (who were in seemingly good health) passed within 8 months of their respective wives. There's something magically sweet, but very very sad in that too, the way that a shared lifetime can connect two people beyond biology.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:48 (twenty-three years ago)

How strange...I just read the profile of her in the 2000 Da Capo book last night...seemed like an interesting & talented woman, v. sad.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 16 May 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

She seemed like the pillar in that family, didn't she? R.I.P.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Saturday, 17 May 2003 09:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I was thinking the same as Marcello, except I was remembering my grandparents dying within a month of each other. I think one partner losing the will to live when the other goes is not rare. Still, we shouldn't just think of Johnny - RIP June.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 17 May 2003 11:24 (twenty-three years ago)

It's sad. This may sound weird but I randomly saw the Dr. Quinn episode they both were in, and damn if they weren't one of the cutest old couples I ever saw. My sympathies definitely go out to the family (this probably isn't gonna help Carlene Carter get herself back together).

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 May 2003 14:05 (twenty-three years ago)

the NIN cover came on a mix cd yesterday and it took me 30 seconds to remember june had died and by the end of the song i was just flattened. rip.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 17 May 2003 14:47 (twenty-three years ago)

two years pass...

I hope the family will get through the hard time and look forward to seeing their parents together again.

― robin ward, Wednesday, 29 March 2006 03:53 (twenty years ago)

Well, it must be out on DVD soon.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 04:03 (twenty years ago)

Was I really the only one to give the June Carter 2 disc dap on Pazz and Jop?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 06:10 (twenty years ago)

revives of R.I.P. threads always make me think weird shit for a split second. "oh, they're dead?...uh, still?"

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 06:18 (twenty years ago)

No one's really dead as long as Reese Witherspoon can double her price after winning a doorstop for playing them.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 13:39 (twenty years ago)

Good news for maureen stapleton.
