To hear Killick Hinds tell it, death isn’t quite as scary as you might think. That’s not to say the Athens musician is advocating dying, nor did he himself die - though he came very close. The musician last year arrived at the hospital in a life-threatening state, having lost a large amount of blood from a duodenal ulcer he didn’t know he had. “I woke up one day feeling kind of lazy and … just couldn’t get it together to start working,” he says. As the day progressed, he felt worse and worse, until his wife came home and found Killick on the bathroom floor.
