Despite battling leukemia from childhood, his boundless energy and talent earned him a spot on the world stage — so much so that Kris Kristofferson had to drop him as an opener because he was too electrifying to follow. Goodman’s musical magic also launched the careers of John Prine and others, and his collaborations with legends like Arlo Guthrie and Shel Silverstein cemented his place in Americana. Even in his final days, he brought humor and heart to the ballpark, reminding us that cheering for your team — win or lose — is the ultimate anthem.
