Happy (heavenly?) Birthday, Mark!

Happy Birthday to Mr. Mark Lanegan!

I see people post after people have passed ‘happy heavenly birthday’ or some such. And Mark has been writing about death for decades…. The Winding Sheet and all that

I suppose there can be some great discussion on whether Mark is now in Heaven or hell or purgatory… and whether any of those places actually exist and…

But I’ll just say: Happy Birthday

Will post a “Why Worry?” Irish philosophy (below)

And a link or 2 to the aces Resurrection Song:

Irish Philosophy:
Why Worry
In life, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, there is nothing to worry about,
But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about,
But if you die, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you will go to heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.
And if you go to hell, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends
You won’t have time to worry!

Not alone, but a few weeks late. Been enjoying a few weeks of elevated Mark and Trees stuff with the Live From New Egg Studios being released. It is amazing what he was able to do.
