You Got Gold, Sean

Hey, so I thought I'd post some facebook activity about you...

I first heard John Prine because of Sean Sullivan. It was the day we met, the first day of college, 1989. We sat in our room listening to Prime Prine and I was hooked.

Sean died in 2005. 8 years ago, today. At his memorial, Robin said, "we all die, and when we die we all turn to dust... but some of us are gold dust."

Every single time I hear John Prine I think of Sean. I always will.

• Jake Sullivan Watching breaking bad the other night made me think about how Sean would have geeked out over it since it is set in Albuquerque. Its strange, but I have yet to experience "missing him." For me, Sean is just somewhere else, out of town, unable to get in touch. Until we meet again.

• Michel Allen Agreed, I still feel like he is around sometimes. Different little things like yesterday my friends here were going on and on about John Prine and his lyrics and then today Greg's meaningful post. Little things that are hard to explain.

• Jake Sullivan Total Sean story. It was after college and Sean had moved to LA. We were working on a TV commercial shooting up in Northern CA. We would spend all day out at the location so when we would stop for lunch and go to the nearest town for lunch bathroom...See More
