John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19

What a tremendous loss. I had just read that he was ill last week and spent reminiscing with a friend about some of his best songs. What a great song writer with such entertainment value in his lyrics. He leaves a treasure chest of happy memories behind.
My deepest sympathies to his family and his fans as well.

Sitting here spinning some JP with alligator tears in my eyes and knowing the world is a better place because of him, taking this one hard. God bless his family. Goodby my friend that I never met.

Sitting here spinning some JP with alligator tears in my eyes ...

Alligator tears? Why alligator tears?

Or, maybe, you don’t know what "alligator tears" means.

'Sitting here spinning some JP with alligator tears in my eyes and knowing the world is a better place because..."

Huh?
