I'm 60 and and heard Sam Stone and Illegal smile when in my early teens and never looked back! I walk around singing his songs and people think I made them up because they have never heard them. I have turned a lot of people on to John Prine in my life time. Us Baby Boomers had the best music ever made growing up, we were blessed!
It's a crying shame that John Prine hasn't been awarded the Kennedy Honors award yet. I hope the nominating committee makes up for this oversight. John is a great American Treasure and deserving of this honor.
She reminds me of a chess game with some I admire, or a picnic in the rain after a prairie fire. I go back a long way with John. I've seen him with Steve Goodman , Bonnie Raitt and Junior Brown(best show ever)!
Rest in peace Mr. Prine. I'm crushed and spent the evening listening to your music on repeat with my fiance. We love you. This is my favorite song of yours.
I did not even remember Senor Prine when I was in the Forsyth County Jail on December 25th, 2019. Forgot about him on New Years Day 1/1/2020 too, while I was still in jail. Too bad they still put lawyers in jail, even if they are half crazy over John Prine music.
