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!
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 🇨🇦
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.
Hello 👋 I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
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.
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
What I love about this video is how happy all of these other artists seem to be in his presence. Folks who have earned their keep just seem so honored to share this space with him.
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
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
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
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'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!
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🙏🥁🙊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...........
Goodbye John. I love you. I so wanted to see you on the 26th of June. I'll now frame that ticket. You got me through a lot of tough times and provided me lots of laughs in some of the worst places in the world.
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.
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.
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 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!
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".
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.
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 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!
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'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.
I’m a new fan of this amazing musician I had never had heard of him he just toured Melbourne my folks had a spare ticket and was sold on the first song I’m grateful for that invite or I would have missed out on this wonderful music 😀😀😀
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!
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 🎸🎶🎤
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 !
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!

Big Big Thanks to the god who was responsible for putting John Prine on this planet
And screw the one who took him away.

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.

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
Tom
The world is a better place for John Prine having been in it.
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.
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
You know something is wrong in the world when anyone feels the need to thumb down a a John Prine song like this.
There be gargoyles amongst us!
hippydippy
Well said.
yes sir I love John prine!
Naw , just wrong with that person
+rickshaw60 I couldn't agree more ! John is a national treasure!
I'm glad John lived long enough to see and feel the love of his audience
The world is a little dimmer without you, Mr Prine... RIP, legend.
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
When I see a John Prine song I give it a thumbs up and then I listen to the song.
Your obviously a person of sense and good taste.
Reminds me of growing up in a small hick town in Michigan
Pretty much the way I feel. Love John prine!
Amen
A thumbs up is a given in the case of an old John Prine song!
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.

Well Said he was truly one of a kind!
And Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys
i look up at the sky at night and i see a new star, john prine star you never be forgotten
A Big thumbs up to this song and EVERY john prine songs. Gone too soon, an American treasure
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song! How are you?
Hello 👋 I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
The joy in this raw loving storyteller’s music mives my soul!
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.
"I can see your back door if I close my eyes now." What a lyric! RIP John Prine
Nobody tells a better story than you John. You truely are a national treasure. Thanks for yet another great song.
I do - Neil Young
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
He’s gone. Thank God he left us his music and memories.💔
💕 I feel the same..He always ..lifts my spirit!
Reminds me about the stories my granny would tell me about the railroad hobos they fed when she was a kid.. love and miss you John Prine ❤
Prayers for the Lost souls that gave thumbs down to this grandmasters awesome storytelling beautiful song
Jack
He still touches my heart after 40 years. RIP John.
I have loved this dude and his honesty for 35 years and going
What I love about this video is how happy all of these other artists seem to be in his presence. Folks who have earned their keep just seem so honored to share this space with him.
RIP Gentle Giant! Your words will live forever! Thank you for so many years of your music!
When it comes to Mr. John Prine there will never be another John Prine.John was a songwriter,s song writer u
A True Master, rest in peace John Prine .
Bless you, John.
There will NEVER be another John Prine.Rest in peace John.
Nothing but a true legend

In my opinion, it has always been cool to be a John Prine fan, there were just fewer cool people years ago!
Thanks John
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
You go on and tell god what god oughta do. You must know better than god, i guess.
He died today,I am crying in my whiskey. Fuck your Jesus.
Amen.
Great tribute gracie, sorry john didn't make it through, he's in a good place now though.
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
Agreed! Could you please identify each of the musicians? Thank you

@@annerenwick6822 you serious?
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.
Thankful for John Prine’s gifts of poetry and music to all of us. What a heartbreaking loss.
Never heard John sing a song I didn't like NEVER !
What a guy!! Love love love that JPrine!!
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.
I'm learning to play some of John's songs and it just fills my heart with joy. Miss him. The man the myth the legend. John Prine.

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.

Still not over this loss. R.I.P. Mr Prine
I’m a new fan of this amazing musician I had never had heard of him he just toured Melbourne my folks had a spare ticket and was sold on the first song I’m grateful for that invite or I would have missed out on this wonderful music 😀😀😀
This song reminds me of my back porch of the house I grew up in. What days they were
One of the greats ,heading skywards. Feel your spirit john. You gonna be missed mate.
What a champion. RIP John Price
I can hear a sincere, bad ass musician keeping it simple ,while envoking memory and thought.
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!
Miss you John.
A song to satisfy every moment and every emotion. One of the greatest, John you will be missed!
What a great finger/toe tapper and head nodder. Just a great example of Americana. John Prine is the best!!!!
We love you Mr. Prine, praying for you.
Im new to John Prines work,but uts obvious he was one of fhe very best. RIP
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
