this is so sad
jill sobule sang an incredible version of warren zevons‘ “don’t let us get sick”

I did not know that Jill Sobule was living in Minneapolis, but this seems to suggest that. I’m very sorry to hear that she has died.

Was lucky to have met her at a house party, my sis is a huge fan. Just saw her in January at the Jersey Shore Arts Center. She was awesome and I agree abt WZ show

It was. I recall them doing “These Boots Were Made for Walking” together.

I saw her open for Paula Cole in 2000. She did a solo acoustic set she was great.

I liked it! Saw them at the Phoenix in Toronto with @mostlydelores.bsky.social . They had good onstage chemistry together. I wish they were both still around.

Yea, I would've liked to see that show ...

They sang "Jackson" together but I can't find any audio, just Jill's Facebook post about it. R.I.P. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157492015369100&id=8040904099&set=a.154528624099

I happened across that song on TV and was smitten immediately. She was a treasure.

YES!!!

Absolutely agree. Saw her live at a pro-choice themed concert a few years ago hosted by Lizz Winstead. She was fantastic.

I am dating myself here, but I had this single (on tape) and the b-side song, Resistance Song, is still on of my favorite songs.

I was just thinking about her with the recent Katy Perry nonsense and hoping she was doing well! Sad news :(

The best. I am so sad.

Totally. I recall a cruise line using that song as background to advertise their LGBTQ-friendly ships during the Bush-Gore election. It felt like a doorway into the future.

this made me look, she had Fabio in the video!

Her “merry Christmas from the family” is one of my favorites. Great great version.

oh my god, what awful news! may her "I Kissed a Girl" forever obliterate the memory of all other songs with that title.

pnwzebra.bsky.social•4 days ago

Died in a house fire, how awful and tragic. She was one of the good ones.

trav333.bsky.social•4 days ago

aaaah I am gutted! She was so great, I even met her once 😭

at least she used one of her last instagram posts to call rob schneider dumb as a box of hammers

janhamcam.bsky.social•4 days ago

such sad and terrible news

whitesided.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dammit, she came to the Kennedy Center in January and their signup page was so wonky I gave up and didn’t end up going. Wish I’d found a way to make it happen.
