When Tragic News Turns Political | OK76Radio Podcast Clip

<p>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. &nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, my prayers are with his new wife and family during this time. Such a horrible situation. &nbsp;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.&nbsp;</p> <p>For those out there who want to help the Jake Flint Family. They have set up a couple ways to donate.
