Vic Chesnutt, dead on Christmas day

From The Flagpole:

Vic Chesnutt died in Athens Georgia this afternoon, Friday 25 December at 14:59.

From The New York Daily News in 2005:

"Every aspect of human nature needs to be written about," Chesnutt says. "Writers are like Geiger counters, or seismic meters. They show you the things you should pay attention to that go on underneath."

From The Village Voice in 2008:

Vic, tell me something you’ve never ever done before in your life.

Well, I’ve never gone back in time.
