Heard John say he wrote Hello in There, Sam Stone and Paradise when he was 22. He was gifted by something much much higher and a genius. He was a special sort of angel for all of us.
Like others on this thread, I too have only in relatively recent times gotten to know and to appreciate John Prine, Guy Clark, Keith Sykes, Townes Van Zandt and others. I'm almost annoyed at myself, a musician in my own right, for having missed them decades ago. How come so many of us are only now coming to know and to appreciate these great songwriters and artists. Is it just a matter of ...it's time?
You have a lot of catching up to do with just John Prine alone. He could pull at your heartstrings with songs like "Sam Stone", "Paradise" or make you laugh out loud with his "In Spite Of Ourselves" with Iris Dement. He has a huge portfolio and his relationship with a live audience --- telling stories between songs. Unfortunately, i never saw him perform in person. Steve Goodman, who passed away far too young, with leukemia, was a long-time buddy of Prine's. Another of the greats you should check out-- Steve was a great guitar player/performer. ..........
Oh, you have a real treat ahead of you. Do a UA-cam search for "Bill Murray credits John Prine for getting him out of a depression". Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) called John his friend. John Prine is amazing, and you've recently been put on a path of an amazing journey. In my teens (70s - 80's), I partied hard. Heavy metal and hair bands was usually blasting from the speakers. We would have keg parties, and for most of the night it would be Black Sabbath, BOC, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, and so on. But towards the end of the night, when people were drunk and getting rowdy, it was always John Prine. We all settled down by the fire and had a sing along. I thought we were just some weird backwoods Rock-N-Rollers. But thanks to UA-cam, and after mentioning the heavy metal keg parties ending with John Prine, others commented that they did the same. It blew my mind. In many ways, I think it would be fantastic to suddenly find John Prine, and get a do over on hearing his music for the first time. In that respect, I'm envious of you, but I congratulate you as well. And it's not just the music. Get to know the man. He is very funny, and he tells the best stories in songs, as well as in conversations.
I met Rodney Crowell in Cleveland, he's a fabulous song writer, but he's sitting to the left of John thinking,,,,,,,Man. I wished I would have wrote that one.
Saw him and K Kristofferson within 6 weeks of each other in the same small Nashville dive in 2001. Memories I will have forever. Then a few years later I met him in a drug store "Cold & Flu" isle. We were both sick as a dog.
I love this song. Does anyone know what he is saying here I love that woman to the power of ____________. I can't figure it out so I can't really learn to sing it.
If the only authority or some kind of organized body said something about precautions about getting sick. Maybe some people would be alive today...I guess we have to wonder.
If one relies too much on authority they'll wish they hadn't. John had a compromised immune system and could have died from a host of things. His cancer came from smoking, which kills a half a million year in and year out. Much more detrimental than Covid, which has a 99.9 percent survival rate for healthy individuals.

Likewise and I feel cheated.

Genius. RIP John Prine🙏
Love JP music and sorry I never saw him live.
it looks like a wood one
I think it was made from god
Saw him and K Kristofferson within 6 weeks of each other in the same small Nashville dive in 2001. Memories I will have forever. Then a few years later I met him in a drug store "Cold & Flu" isle. We were both sick as a dog.
Thank you for sharing this Prine gem!
Love and miss Mr prine Thanks 🥇🏆

He just wrote song on a whole nother level than Dylan or anyone else you could think of.
He’s definitely a songwriter’s songwriter. Amazing talent.

I think all the downvotes on this video come from his ex-wife!
Or a feminist. Not many of them have a sense of humor, too busy hating men.
Tribute to John Prine by songwriter Dennis Callahan
