There are 24,000 "thumbs up on this video"; 680 (now 681 with mine) comments and not one "thumbs down". Now in the world we live in this is testimony to the love of one man!
Hallo 🆘 Mother and Father of all creation are here in physical flesh showing the way to healing it's been an ardous journey reaching you with a message, please phone home today 🎉
Can’t say this enough, the world is so much less of a place without this man in it. Don’t know if there’s a heaven but John was an angel when he was here
My old mates, a couple from the UK Phil and Adrienne turned me on to everybody's favorite mailman from Chicago John Prine in 1974 when we were all living in the hills (Kalamunda) above Perth in Western Australia. I am forever grateful to Phil and Adrienne, John Prine is an American treasure a true American storyteller, poet, forget Dylan this guy knew America, he knew the people of America, no pedestal, no entourage. Thank you John, RIP brother
Just a thought I had when watching this video--John is surrounded by some truly phenomenal musicians here, who all appear to be having the time of their lives. Still John shines through as the star and the happiest of them all. I miss you JP
John Prine was the Studs Terkel of Country Music...whether main street or back street, he had a song for us all...from the beginning to the end his songs drew from the well of the human heart with a simple but profound view of the realities of life.
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...........
It is very hard to find the right words of solace to express the loss of John Prine. He is the rarest of artists who's life's work was so full of songs, stories , jokes and warmness . And wonderful words that we could wrap around us like our best family quilt to keep out the cold nights.
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've said it before and I will continue to Tell anyone who will listen, that John prine is and has all ways been a musical genius, love this man's music down to my deepest part of my soul, he saved my life on a few different occasions and he doesn't even know it. Thank you and God bless you Mr. Prine
This will always be the song I come to when I’m feeling down and out… there is nothing more hopeful to me than knocking on a screen door in the summertime… and I cannot wait for my next screen door! Thank you, John Prine!
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.
You're not alone. There is crying all around. But he's a fighter. I'm praying that he fights this virus and gets better to write another song . Peace, love and health be with you Brother. ✌💞🎶🙏 KEH 🇨🇦
Prine is one of the most humorous musical commentary artists alive. Listen to what he says. I channel him in some of my original comps. Long live John.
RIP John Prine. It's been a tad over a year now since you passed. And you're still sorely missed by all. Thank You for leaving us all of your wonderful tunes. I'll be seeing ya up there before too long John....until then, keep 'em all singing.
Grew up listening to JP when my dad played his music, I was just a kid but grew up to love the man and his music. You can see from the comments of this and other videos that the man was loved and is missed so much. Nice to see the stars of modern country come out in this video and show appreciation for him. RIP Mr Prine, much love from Northern Ireland.
I saw John play the usher hall in Edinburgh, it felt like you were sitting in his front room as friend, listening to stories of warmth and humour and heartfelt sentiment. All my life I felt he was a friend I could listen too and trust. John was not special he was loved, which is so much more than special he was in your bones and in your heart.
Almost always wish his songs were longer, but as he says, makes a million of them to make up for it. You go John and friends! Another vote for "National treasure".
My dad always listened to John Prine. I went to a concert with him at the Palace Theater here in Louisville to see him. A Great memory of hanging with dad.
I miss you John. I only discovered your music in 2017, at 28 years old, but I'm sure it'll be with me for the rest of my life. I wish I could have gotten to see you perform in this life, but it's just one of those things.. his death from covid is still the one which has personally affected me the most.
In the name of Jesus this great man needs to be healed . We need him on this corrupt, devastated planet more than you need him God! You have many great ones please leave the legend right here where he is loved and loves! Thank you Lord Amen
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 can hear the train track thru the laundry on the line. Growing up right beside the train tracks for 47 years I can truly relate to this song as well as so many of John's other songs. I miss this guy and his music. One of the best singer songwriter ever. Thanks man you can bring a tear to my eye and make laugh all in the same song. Great music.
His lyrics are simple genius. I don't know if the beating our hearts experience gets any easier as more & more of these icons of vinyl & the background music of our lives slip away. But by God, they help me love the life I live. Thanks for your gift to us all John. Rest now, say hello to Pete for me!
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.
Never got to see John and his band live,but have had,and continue to take great pleasure listening to,and watching his concerts etc.a very humble man who shares his gift and talent for future.god bless John and his family.peace from scotland🙏🥁🙊
I just learned Mr. Prince's music, in the last year; this is life's solid gold album music. I love everything about this man's music. What was I missing ? He is vs gentleman, for all times
A ONCE in a Lifetime Troubadour! Miss you John. So thankful you left such an amazing body of beautiful Real Songs to keep us straight. You are the Best!💙🙏✌⭕❌😪
I have been a fan for along time With all the health problems he has continued to write, sing, and he puts on the best stage performances of any artist I have ever seen God bless John Prine! John sings How lucky can one man get? WE are the lucky ones!
Goodness Gracious ! What a Beautiful Human Being ! Goodness Grace and good Health to all John's Family and to all the Fans of broken Hearts including this ol man way down in TX ! Angels are Singing ! Missin John Prine !
I can't put it into words, but I'll try. I have been listing to you since the 70's. I have seen you in concert so often that I've lost count. I think that is is 13 times. You got me through some tough times. I find something that speaks to me in every song. The last time was in Huntsville Al. The last concert was always the best. Love you John.
I can’t tell you how much this mans music has meant to me over the years. I have laughed with him and cried with him. God bless you John and thank you for a lifetime of memories.
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 🎸🎶🎤
I see many of us still get what John Prine has to say. All my albums are in storage right now. It's nice to listen online. Thanks to everyone who posts videos so I can still hear truth. Wonderful!
John Prine is the best of the best, up there with Woodie Guthrie; the treasures he left us will continue to be discovered for decades to come. May eternal light shine upon him and may he smoke that cigarette that’s 9 miles long. We miss you.
Can't even begin to say how much I miss John Prine, but his music and humor will be with us forever. Does anyone know the musicians here --- I just recognize a few. Sturgill Simpson looks like the happiest man on the planet in this :) I am so glad those 2 got to make music together ! Obviously John was a master at whatever he put his mind to --- at 2:18 he banks the 13 ball cross-side like it was nothing :)
I was turned on to John Prine in the late 70s,Started my career with mr.Prine right then and there.Bruised Orange was the decider for me,Still heree 2022 ,57 yrs old and loving it still
I heard today - June 24-2020 - a tune John had recorded earlier hit #1....which brought me here. I'm crying again at our loss of John. Why the thumbs downers? My goodness - some people just unable to enjoy life's beautiful prizes...
Beautiful. This is PURE "Snapshot"/Poetic/Kodachrome/N.Rockwell/ American Gothic with a joint and a shot of liquor, or just come as you are type Folk Americana badassery that is John Prine, as Great as it's ALWAYS Been! Love you John!

Big Big Thanks to the god who was responsible for putting John Prine on this planet
And screw the one who took him away.
I'm glad John lived long enough to see and feel the love of his audience
Got turned on to John in 1973. What a blessing to have this beautiful man in my heart and soul. Thanks brother. See you in heaven
❤ I love this song
It never gets old💕
John was just the best!!! So sorry it took so long to discover him!
Still sounding GOOD 😊
Took 3 years to be able to listen to John again without crying . He's been a great comfort for 50 years. We will never see his like again.
Quit my job yesterday. Was making coffee. Found this song. Grabbed a beer. Thank John. Prime time.
Best post ever!
Keep it going!
Underneath the dasboard got some sweet potato wine!
The world is a little dimmer without you, Mr Prine... RIP, legend.
God I don’t know what it is, but every time I hear this guy, I just feel good!
Can’t say this enough, the world is so much less of a place without this man in it. Don’t know if there’s a heaven but John was an angel when he was here
i look up at the sky at night and i see a new star, john prine star you never be forgotten
Im new to John Prines work,but uts obvious he was one of fhe very best. RIP
"I can see your back door if I close my eyes now." What a lyric! RIP John Prine

Agreed! Could you please identify each of the musicians? Thank you
John Prine was the Studs Terkel of Country Music...whether main street or back street, he had a song for us all...from the beginning to the end his songs drew from the well of the human heart with a simple but profound view of the realities of life.
Both from Chicago. Both champions for the common folk.

MG John Prine is a treasure. Please JP, keep them coming. RIP Stevie.
I have loved this dude and his honesty for 35 years and going

Thankful for John Prine’s gifts of poetry and music to all of us. What a heartbreaking loss.
Genuine genius JP ❤️
This will always be the song I come to when I’m feeling down and out… there is nothing more hopeful to me than knocking on a screen door in the summertime… and I cannot wait for my next screen door! Thank you, John Prine!

Same here, I'm shattered ☹️😭 this guy got me through a lot of bad days. A fan since '75
I'm so torn up , I can't stop crying , in large part , with fury , Come on ,John , HOLD ON !
Same for me.. he has got to beat it! Praying hard.
You're not alone.
There is crying all around.
But he's a fighter.
I'm praying that he fights this virus and gets better
to write another song
.
Peace, love and health be with you Brother.

The world is a better place for John Prine having been in it.

What a great finger/toe tapper and head nodder. Just a great example of Americana. John Prine is the best!!!!
This song reminds me of my back porch of the house I grew up in. What days they were
He still touches my heart after 40 years. RIP John.
John Prine always makes me feel like it’s gonna be OK. He’s one of the brightest of those thousand points of light.
He does, and it is. His songs will always be with us .
John Prine has always put a smile on my face.
in his songs when he is feeling good he reachs under the dash for that sweet potato wine lol
This song makes me smile for some reason.
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.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Prine! Down by the Green River, where Paradise lay.
I love this CD of John Prine's and this song is one of the gems on it. Nice to see Margo Price at the beginning of the video :)
I was turned on to John Prine in the late 70s,Started my career with mr.Prine right then and there.Bruised Orange was the decider for me,Still heree 2022 ,57 yrs old and loving it still
Still not over this loss. R.I.P. Mr Prine
I heard today - June 24-2020 - a tune John had recorded earlier hit #1....which brought me here. I'm crying again at our loss of John.
Why the thumbs downers? My goodness - some people just unable to enjoy life's beautiful prizes...
Beautiful. This is PURE "Snapshot"/Poetic/Kodachrome/N.Rockwell/ American Gothic with a joint and a shot of liquor, or just come as you are type Folk Americana badassery that is John Prine, as Great as it's ALWAYS Been! Love you John!
In my opinion, it has always been cool to be a John Prine fan, there were just fewer cool people years ago!
This tragic pandemic takes the good ones. Someones will never forgotten. they are part of our lives.
The tears are just running down my face. Dammit anyway. Good-bye, John.
❤💔❤
I just found you and you up and left for heaven! Wassup with that?😘😢
@@13leggys the best among us are here for only a shory little while!
God bless you brother. John was a treasure not enough people appreciate
Well said Johnnie O.. I've always loved john prine ever since my sister's introduced me to his music in the mid 70's.
What a champion. RIP John Price
"I can see your backdoor if I close my eyes now." Damn, that is fine and mournful Prine
