    I'm 70 years old now, and the first JP song I heard was Sam Stone - The Viet Nam war was still raging and my lottery number was 32 - It was eerie - Been a huge fan every since and own pretty much the full Handsome Johnny collection - I've been off grid in Alaska and no tv for most of 40 years - TV is your enemy - It's a modern version of a scrying mirror (look it up) - These lyrics typify Handsome Johnny's vibe to me, not angry belligerent ones - "Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
    Go to the country, build you a home
    Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
    Try and find Jesus on your own"
    Gotta go now and work on my potato patch - Have a safe summer everyone

    It broke my heart when John Prine died, and it pissed me off that he died from a fucking disease that they called "just the flu." When the Lieutenant Governor of Texas said to just let it all happen, and that he would be happy to die to let his grandchildren not have to bear the burden, he should have volunteered to take John Prine's place.

    Traveling in Europe while international flights from china were still happening may have killed him. He insisted on doing a non profitable concert in Paris. After the concert he canceled his tour hung out in Paris a few days and then returned home for emergency hip surgery. a few days later he develops a cough and the doc says they should test him for covid since he was traveling overseas recently. Fiona was positive he was indeterminate. the rest is history. A European tour and a few fun days in Paris likely cost him his life. We'll never know for sure, but i'd love to see someone actually connect the dots in a way that show how trump killed him.

    • @bluesuitadvisor6328

It cost the average American house whole $8,000 more to live since Biden been in office. Our schools are now teaching sexuality and have phonographic books in our school libraries. the national debt at record highs over $31 trillion. shut down the largest baby formula plant . shipping pallets of baby formula to illegal immigrants at the southern border as American families struggle with empty shelves. Biden's reply was He didn't understand how big an effect Abbott plant shutdown would have on baby formula. Gas is up $2 more a lot of place I saw on the west coast more than $3.

    I've listened to John Prine for years, but just to be contrarian here, I think, as much as I am no fan of Donald Trump, the truth is that he had traveled throughout Europe before getting back home, and he was circling around in a hotbed of covid all over the place. Blaming this on Trump is a bit of a cheap shot or at the very least very lazy thinking. I'd be interested in what JP has to say about it, but given his last album, I think he'd say it's time to rest. I hope he's smoking that 9 mile long cigarette.

    What a ratty song. So ignorant and really sad you made a song about the great John Prine in such am awful context. I really hope this video isn't monetized. The man that killed John Prine wasn't an American, unless you're referring to Dr. Fau....

      Well, if you actually care about the truth, read 'The Real Anthony Fauci,' by RFK, Jr., no lover of President Trump. But a lover of the truth, unlike this fella in the video.

      The man who killed him wasn't much of a man, even less of a president, failed coup leader, but will be a good future prison inmate.

    Major irony here that Jimmy has to rely on blatant vitriol and hate to make a point about a person: those are tools his hero John Prine never needed, nor felt, when making his observations about people.

    • @wyltk75
      @wyltk75 Год назад

      Clearly no one is as good a writer as Prine, his dis tracks were a bit more subtle of course like I shared with you on the Facebook page. Fiona is a bit more direct, however, and would probably love this song. At Trump: "Can someone get that fucking idiot off the stage. My husband died on his watch", and she also said: "you have not truly listened to his body of work if you think that John had anything but distain for the modern Republican Party and all they represent.Trump is the ultimate manifestation of their self-serving hypocrisy."

      Mr. Swope speaks the Truth, whether it fits YOUR liking or not..... You obviously have never listened to much of JP's music..... Sam Stone; Your Flag Decals Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore, Some Humans Ain't Human.... to name only a very few. And Trumpski, who stated it would be over in weeks and no one would die from it.... Yes, I believe in my heart that Trumpski DID kill John Prine and MILLIONS of others by his neglect.
