When Tragic News Turns Political | OK76Radio Podcast Clip

You probably heard by now about the tragic death of Oklahoma Red Dirt Artist Jake Flint. He was only 37 and he died suddenly the night after his wedding day. I heard about this story Monday morning and knew right wing would pick up this to push their “died suddenly” vax narrative. You know how I feel about the magic sauce. I don’t trust it and never will. However, I feel like this situation is different. After looking at his Facebook page I don’t feel like jake was a big fan of the shot but I maybe wrong…. However, that didn’t stop folks from pulling up a old 2020 post from his page talking about he was excited about getting it… I took it as sarcasm. Same thing happened with another artist Luke Bell a few months. The story went crazy viral. It’s sad how these artists never get recognized while they are alive but when they are gone they get more popular.

Anyway, my prayers are with his new wife and family during this time. Such a horrible situation.

I wasn’t super familiar with him before this but over the past few days I’ve been learning how great this dude was. Such a talented musician. His live album from last year is one of the best I’ve heard.

For those out there who want to help the Jake Flint Family. They have set up a couple ways to donate. GoFundMe or the Red Dirt Relief Fund (put Jake’s Name in the notes)
