    Came back from Viet Nam in 1970. Had fourteen years of drugs and divorces. In 1984 was accepted into the pilot program for PTSD at the Chicago VA hospital. Spent most of a year there. Life has been a lot better since. Always said this album was the soundtrack of my life.

      Way to go getting help for a very real problem-don't worry if you need to go back for tune-ups...I'm so sorry you had to go and about all that happened. What a freaking mess. Nevertheless, you are breathing--so where there is life there is hope. John did a LOT of dudes from that era and also that place good. Did me good, too-a lot. Stick around, find something you like, I hope and keep on keeping on!

      First heard John Prine on a friend's cassette player while in college late 70's. I listened to all kinds of music but never heard of this guy. Who is this?? Could not believe what I was listening to. Some kind of folk/country prophet or something. All these years later, he's still not on the radio-- not even Deeptracks, etc... Maybe it's a Twilight Zone kind of thing. Only for select ears that can really hear what he's saying.

Using milk creates as a dinner table. Then having to raise two boys on her own. Working like dog in factories. I lost her almost 3 years ago. I hope both of my parents get to listen to him play in paradise. Thank you John for helping millions pull through the hard parts of life.

    His songs bring me still close to the way I feel sometimes praying to God.

      Yeah, I hear you. Prine just has a way to cut right down through our soul, down to the naked part that still aches,… forever. I get hooked into it; Time for me to bathe in it for a while but then I have to move on. Since music is part of this, a good way out is to move on to some Leo Kottke. His love of life, and his way of telling a story, fun and music is a sure way to bring me back to a brighter side of life any time. Phil

      Its because he remembers to keep his empathy alive through out it all. They are not just stories but he is relating or allowing us to relate, it blows my mind how many phrases I have heard him say that I have never heard before but I instantly understood them. Even if he is singing with some superiority its from the side of all vs the few. He had the foresight at least to see history's battles and being on the right side, instead of being angry and scared he was ready for change and took it on the chin.

    I'm still in mourning for John and his voice is still in my head. I am a lover of social reailism, a poet and publisher of the Blue Collar Review, a journal of progressive Working Class literature. As such, I wrote this poem for John -- and for all of us who love and miss him --
    Dear John
    Bury my heart
    in Muhlenberg county in a
    motel in Shreveport in the jungles
    of East St. Paul
    A poet who sang the soul
    of a better Americana
    jokes and tears in the
    nitty-gritty realism
    of life's long hard road
    Bury that part of our soul
    this soul that listened
    and sang along for years and years
    "that flow by like a broken down dam"
    Damn
    your soulprint still so large your voice so widespread
    your presence remains
    as if you're still among us
    and you are.

    Well rest in peace J.P.. Had the pleasure of seeing John Prine when I was just a young girl, 9 or 10 I believe. His band broke down in my little town, Matapedia Quebec. Now I'm sure no one knows where that was even Mr. Prine at the time, came to our school and performed a few songs. Of course being so young we didn't know who he was, for me was Instant crush. That's how I found out what my whole name meant. He was telling us,by the meaning of my name, he did tell me that I was very special. I believe he was just trying to make a little girl with 1 and a half thick glasses feel good. When I grew up ended up being a huge fan before remembering the young man singing dear Abby when I was so young.

    I was living in Louisiana and fresh out of high school when John Prine, Randy Newman, Bonnie Rait and a few more folks put on an outdoor concert. I was hooked on all three immediately. John had music that was controversial at times. Randy Newman went on to write music for movies and TV shows after he stopped touring. His music was not as controversial as John's so he got more air time. I'm not sure how Bonnie Rait fit in with this group but she also went on to have and still does have a fantastic career. Rest in Peace, John Prine. You are still remembered.

    I looked at him and said "Oh! You're YOU!!!!"

    Sad, a real loss to the world. I discovered John Prine around 1972 0r 1973, can't remember the exact year? I walked in to a music store in Portland Oregon and they were playing this album. While browsing the other records, I listened to most of this one. I thought it was really good and bought it, and I was a fan after that! I also still have that album .....almost 50 years later!

    I was introduced to the music of John Price when I was in my forties and how I so enjoyed his music. His songs always tell a story and if you listen closely they are stories of real life. You can't hear any new country/folk music like this anymore. RIP John Prine your fans still love your music.

      Yes you can… maybe not this good but the style is being played for sure.

      @@wickedlee664 Really? I listen to new stuff regularly - no one has ever reached out and grabbed my mind the way John did.

    It's so sad that John has left us but he sure has left us a legacy of great song & music & with this lock in I have spent last while since John got I'll - backing up his music & I enjoyed it again even though sad, as a Christian I believe John has just moved on to the next Phase in the home of the Nazarene & I think Jesus wanted John for Super band he is setting up and what pick he has from Ap - Sara and Maybelle Carter - Hank Williams down to George Jones & Johnny Cash etc etc etc & now John Prine & what a sound I can hear in Heaven ******

    Me and a buddy drank a bottle of cheap whisky and listened to John Prine one night, about 25 years ago. Two day hangover and he was great until he died.
