    The news about John has absolutely killed me. I've listened to John Prine literally all my life. He's not just a musician, he's one of our greatest poets and I take solace in many of his words of wisdom. I'm praying for John's recovery. John Prine is one of the greatest story tellers of all time and I'm so grateful I know his music.

    This video shows how much John was loved by his fellow musicians from a younger generation. Margo Price , Sturgill Simpson, Amanda Shires, Dave Cobb, Jason Isbell Jerry Pentecost on drums are just a few of the Nashville musicians seen in this video. I'm so glad Fiona Prine go him into the studio and we are now blessed with one more John Prine album to enjoy, listen and cry to. The loss of this one person made me feel the pain of all who have lost someone in this pandemic tragedy. They better have that cocktail ready because John Prine is going to heaven and it has nothing to do with a flag decal but the love he gave us all.

    I told god, this one is just too much. I've been writing and crying and then laughing at John's lyrics, which I know is how he would deal with this sadness if he were doing it for us. His words are as down and real as it gets, which is why people across the spectrum have identified with him. I'm keeping a little diary of these times, and the last few days entries are titled, John Prine and Corona. I think he'd like that he was matched up with a wo-man with such a pretty name. Thanks, John. See you again.

    I watch this video today a tear after his death and still feel the loss of John, John always said "most everyone wants to go to heaven, just not right now." A great American songwriter and singer. Like others, many of his songs will live on as well recognized as songs from artists like Stephen Foster, Woodie Guthrie, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Tom Petty, Brian Wilson. Beethovens of our time. Sure glad he left us a treasure chest of tunes crafted with words to rhyme, define, sing, and experience our being. Thanks for being among us John as long as you could...........

    Just another gem.
    I could listen to this tune over, and over, and over again.

    I'll always regret not going to see John Prine when he was in my area in 2019. I've learned to never take things for granted. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. He was a great artist that was taken way too soon.

    John is the most consistent music in my life since 1980. I have passed down his music to my children and family. You have left the artist of your soul with the world and I just want to say
    Thank you 🎸🎶🎤
