No matter how many times I listen to Sam Stone sung by Mr. John Prine, tears run down my cheeks and my heart aches!!
May GOD bless John Prine!!!!
"it was the same three chords I always use".... But it takes genius to make a tune and words like this. What a talented and humble guy he was.
RIP John Prine.
Probably one of the greatest, most underrated songwriters that ever lived. Rest in peace John
The greatest
Sturgil just sits back while playing so discretely. He knows and understands the impact of Prine. Get well soon Sturgil.
Yes, yes and yes. Sturgil is so very respectful of John.
Thank you John, Sturgill, RUclips, and anyone else for making this available to watch. What a special moment in time!
Can't believe I wasted so many years not listening to this incredible artist, poet song writer. Thankful I discovered his genius few years ago. Now I can't get enough. Rest peaceful beautiful troubadour🌱
I feel the same way. But better late than never right? Not gonna let all those shitty meals I ate ruin this steak I finally have in front of me. ;).
I'm grateful for my family having always had Prine playing when I was little. Welcome to the fan club both of you, always room for more!
First heard of JOHN PRINE in the mid seventies. I only heard his music. Then many years later I listened. What a beautiful thing happened.
Found out Mr. Prine passed tonight, so I’m sitting with the full moon, drinking and listening intently to this legend. 💔
I feel as though the loss of my two friends of almost 50 years have left me again, all over again. Grief is such a sad thing for those of us left living. But can't help feeling that John is havin' a high time with those who've gone before him. Smoke one for me there, John.
As was I.
I know we all have to go sometime! But not looking forward to it! Thank you for the gift of your music!
@@sandrablessing1280
John is busy jamming with Steve Goodman in heaven and having a great time.
@@ivannovotny4552 Yep and writing more songs for their next go round.
"A lot of veterans walking around that never came home". John does have a way with words.
Paul Baldassarre Oh gawd yeah
True to say
I completely understand.. Its like we left a piece of ourselves over there... Some left all that there were, and came home a shell of a man.
People have no idea when they say " thank you for your service". I don't say it but think, are they saying " glad it was you, not me" as I'm not sure they know what it means, Came home but....., It really hard some days seeing this USofA that we attempted to protect from becoming crazy about a crazy Trump.
Ya know, you can really tell how gentle of a soul John was. Tough time holding back tears no matter the song.
Tears not held back here. Miss this treasure.
Makes me cry more than anyone else x 10!
Ain't that the truth. 100x more now that he's passed. The song hits me, and then the fact that I'll never see him again hits me and there come the waterworks.
The man takes words and squishes them around in a pitcher and pours them out like cool buttermilk on a hot summer evening. Part story-teller and part poet, John could read the human condition and paint a real nice pretty picture in your mind accompanied by a decent tune. We will miss him a bunch.
All the songs I love and have written are valiant attempts to emulate John Prine.
But buttermilk on a summers night?
I can't listen to him sing Sam Stone without tearing up. When we got home from Viet Nam, we got no thank you, no honors, no parades. We just put our uniforms away and tried to blend in and forget. Many couldn't. So very sad.
tomf429 thank you for your service Sir, my Dad was a Vietnam veteran!
My Dads name is Tom and a Vietnam vet marine , thanks for your service sir.
Thank you. If only we knew then what we know now.... 🕸
tomf429 I love hearing my dad tell Vietnam stories. He don’t do it often so I cling to every word he says, wishing I knew the man(or boy, rather)he was before he went to war. He won the lottery thing and they pulled his #his senior year of high school. Him and his best friend. My dad had a full scholarship to play baseball for Texas a&m but instead him and his BFF parachuted in to Vietnam and his friend died before he hit the ground. He volunteered to go back 4 times. Was something above an army ranger whatever that may have been he won’t say. He’s dying now-the toughest most bad ass man I ever knew. He refuses to accept a god damn thing (healthcare)from the government because he says it was all for nothin every man he killed or watched die. I just wanna say I love u guys that served Vietnam. I pray that happiness and peace finds all of you before you go. I’m sorry for what our fucked up government sent u boys to do. Y’all will always be the most awesome bravest warriors in my eyes.
Thank you!!! I can't say it enough!!!!
I lost my uncle on Sept.5, 1969 in Quan Tri Valley. He was on his 3rd tour and didn't make it back.

@@jimmybates2511 an epitaph ?
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye
He helped me through dark times,too. He knew what it was like when "strangers forced him to live in his head"
RIP John Prine. His songs have so much meaning and caring. John, you will be missed.
I love this man so very much. I grew up listening to John Prine, my mom moved to Chicago in 1969 from a small farm town in Iowa when she was 19. She found John at his start, she tells me regularly about seeing him at his starting venues like the quiet knight and the earl of old town in Chicago, as well as the student union at the college of dupage. I grew up listening to john, but at the age of 14 I found a album of his that they had it happened to be "the missing years" obviously I had heard these songs as a kid but never was able to appreciate what it was. I remember listening to that album and I was hooked, I heard something so special and being 14 in the 2000s that was odd music to be listening too so it was very hard for me to spread it to friends but I wasn't ashamed and absolutely tried. Regardless I never gave up on what I felt in John's music I stayed a true fan. I'm now 26 years old, living in Chicago working as a tradesman (not a mailman unfortunately lol) and a aspiring musician. John's music is one of my biggest inspirations. I've traveled to muhlenberg county for inspiration central City in specific. I could go on for hours but to wrap it up. John, I love you and wherever you are I'm gunna miss you forever. But I'll play your songs with everything I have and as proud as I can for my whole life. You are the man. Rest in peace my friend.
uh
😊
This was two years ago, Mr. Fritz. Keep your day job for the bills it pays, pursue your “musical ambitions” because they fill your soul. At 28 you have a whole lotta living to do so be the sponge that soaks up all that presents itself and let your external life spark off your internal life and vice versa. Best wishes, my friend. Keep on refining your musical love, observations of the human condition and play to your soul and real life experience.
A lot of success is just plain luck, just like life. Someone is gonna get lucky and someone is the “recipient of luck.” Toil on “in the Tower of Song” but make time to play. It’s in “not thinkin’ about it” that suddenly the words flow.
When we are long gone and America is a distant memory dug up in the history books, we can be proud that we were a nation that allowed voices like Prine's, and Nelson's, and Simpson's, and Childer's to fill the air. American treasure.
What? no Beiber or GAGA?
Love your insight here! So glad these two are around!
Enlighten me. Simpson and Childer? The world being what it is I don't even know how I stumbled onto Mr Prine- but glad I did
@@marleyorange Tyler Childers is fantastic! Modern day country folk revival. Sturgill Simpson is a great musician, but not quite the same person as Tyler Childers.
Tyler is as authentic as it gets and makes grown men cry when he sings. I have yet to hear any song he's sang or written that didn't stir up something, and I've been trying to find fault because I'm kind of a purist.

@@claywest5322 Wow Thanks- Am going to check out!
I am listening to John Prine singing Sam Stone and tearing up. My dad served in WWII at the Battle of the Bulge. And listening to this song brings tears to my eyes. This song is for every veteran who fights wars that shouldn't be. Peace.
Debra Coleman so did my mom’s dad. His name was Jack Lynch he was in the tank division and was awarded a Purple Heart.
we kids was were hungry, dammitt!
My dad fought in WWII in Pearl Harbor. My brother spent 3 tours in Vietnam. Seabees.
You are absolutely correct. Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq *ALL* based on lies ...
My dad landed with the 2nd wave of landings on Okinawa. After coming home he never could see blood, even a minor injury, without feeling weak and anxious. He saw way too much blood on Okinawa.
When those brave men came home they were different than before they left.
Thanks dad, and thanks to every American who served in the military, whenever and wherever you were.
Miss you a lot.
He was finally added to the songwriter's Hall of Fame
It does my heart good to hear John's getting a lifetime achievement award for whatever that's worth on tonight's Grammy show. He's a national treasure.
Amen
Like a missed brother! RIP
I love how subtle Sturgill is backing John up with vocals. He gets it.
funkstrong
Sturgill with the bluegrass vocal approach.
I guess you never heard of Steve Goodman before.
Absolutely. Especially if you've seen Sturgill live. He really rocks and brings it.
@@TheZwieblekopf ?
funkstrong very tasteful
The 312 people who clicked "thumbs down" need some serious help.
Fuck ya the need help
As his voice ages it shows you that his songs have always been about the words. Beautiful as ever!
John prine is a national treasure...Noone can tell Story in putting it in a song more than him.. RIP...
I had the privilege of seeing him preform live many times. I miss him so much.
It's as if he's become a character from one of his own songs and it's poetic and beautiful. God bless Mr. Prine.
Car Guy that's a hell of a beautiful comment.
Thanks :)
Car Guy ...don't just pass by and stare...like you don't care...say hello in there...
Always has been. As lovely a man to speak with one-on-one as he is to see perform.
He's always been a character from one of his songs.
He writes about real things that he knows.
One of the greatest songwriters ever, what a tremendous loss.
Scott Pelarski John Prine
Scott Pelarski: No doubt in my mind.
I never heard of him until he died
He was a tremendous gift.
Dont be sad he is gone. be happy he was. These words are not mine. these words made me stop crying for his loss.
What really strikes me is how humble this man was given his genius. I cried and the music world has suffered a great loss. Stay forever in paradise John.
Back in the 1990's my college bestie and I went to see a Cowboy Junkies concert at TPAC in Nashville. Some guy named John Prine opened for them, and when he was done, half the crowd left. I've been a fan ever since. #legend
Wow! Excellent way to come out with new favorites. I am thankful the first 2 Prine albums were in my parents collection. (I would recognize where the skips are from that .l.p. if given the chance.
92dore love prine and the junkies !
He did a song with Cowboy Junkies on Black Eyed Man
Patty D thanks I ll search it out.
I have no respect for anyone who would walk out like that; if Prine thought they were worth hanging out with, I'd have taken the hint.
I discovered this song from Alabama 3. I discovered Sturgill Simpson from a local Public Radio show hosted by the late Bill Shapiro. I discovered this video just now while looking to experience some John Prine in the wake of the news of his passing. OMG. This is perfect. RIP, Mr. Prine. You were a rare bird.
I don't think anyone was more deserving to play with John Prine then Sturgill. Chris Stapleton at a close second
Sir, may you rest in peace. Your wonderful talent will remain alive in many hearts.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
When I met my now husband in 2005 he turned me on to Mr. Prine. My life became richer for sure. He will be missed by so many. Thank you John for many hours of enjoyment! RIP
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
I saw John Prine 30 years ago in 1988 at a club in NJ. Held everyone's attention for EVERY song. Will never forget that night. You're awesome JP.
Sam Stone.....what a song.... I remember being with John at one of his shows back in the 80 s and after the show we were back stage and the very last person that came backstage was an old Vietnam vet in s wheelchair!!!John sat with this man for a long time never getting in a hurry to end the conversation. He gave this man his full attention. Can you imagine how that nan felt,??! Thank you John..... For being YOU;! It's been almost ,30yrs and I will NEVER forget that special time in my life. Thank you!!!!
Debbie Hon that’s a great story.
that's lovely..thanks
Some things you never forget. Thank god some of those things that stick with you for life are the pure goodness that people are capable of. Hopefully those good memories balance or even outweigh the bad or negative memories that life is sure to deliver.
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing that memory!
His words, melodies and music just feel like home. One of the greatest songwriters of our time. Rest In Peace John Prine.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Goosebumps from beginning to end. “The last of a dying breed “
Sturgill is so respectful, but they were great together! Thanks!
I like the way sturgill didn't overpower him with his back up.
I can't believe it's already been 2 years since John Prine passed!
Missing John on my Birthday Eve!
Grateful and giving Thanks for a lifetime of his great lyrics and sense of Humour.
Hopefully John is playing in God's bar band.
💞🙏🎶

“Same 3 chords I always used”... god he cracked me up. lol
Now John mastered a few chords, a few base runs, hammers and pull offs and it made him world famous. God bless. (That is what Travis Picking can do for you). Thousands of hours practice before that thumb gets loose from the hand.
That didn't make him famous. His incredible ability to tell a story so poetically and oftentimes poignantly is what made him famous. He just happened to out it to a few chords.
Swamping myself with his music now he was a legend so bloody sad
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
One of my favorite songs and one of the first John Prine songs I learned to play and sing more than 45 years ago. Still can’t believe that John Prine has passed away....so sad and broken hearted. Thank you Mr Prine for a lifetime of music that always puts a smile on my face. Rest In Peace....
I love this duet that Sturgill.Simpson and JOHN PRINE PERFORM.TOGETHER..THEY BLEND TOGETHER SO PERFECTLY AND THE INSTRUMENTAL PART OF THE SONG IS BEAUTIFUL ❤️ ALONG WITH THE LYRICS AND THEIR TWO VOICES ON THE " SPEED OF THE SOUND OF LONELINESS IS TOTALLY AWESOME
"Sam Stone" I ain't crying , I just got something in my eye lol
Having a beer and shots of whiskey tonight and listening to John Prine . RIP John . ❤
One of the all-time greats. A legend has left us, and we are poorer because of it.
god dammit John. ya make me cry. I miss you terribly so....
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios..
Amicsas great legend will be missed you will live in many peoples hearts as long as we can hear your music
John Prine has been in my life’s playlist for near fifty years and I’m a better man for having known his songs. Thank you sir and I’m hopeful to see the artists he’s influenced carry on the mantle of great American writer musicians
John Prime had performed with Iris Dement in a song ( about big old 💕 hearts in their eyes)., I had mentioned this in an earlier reply but I could not 🚫 recall Miss Dement's last name..Miss Dement spent part of her life in.Paragould, Arkansas , and later her family moved to California..Along with Mr. PRINE, WHO HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY TALENTED SINGER, MS. DEMENT HAS SANG AND RECORDED MANY INTERESTING SONGS. ONE WAS SANG IN THE COHEN BROTHERS VERSION OF " TRUE GRIT", AN OLD HYMN WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE.
Listening to Souvenirs always brings tears thinking about Steve Goodman. He went way too soon.
Go easy singing postman! You will be missed and you will be remembered. Your songs were about us. About our world and condition. Thank you.
If you replaced "Cathy" with "Chrissy" the song could have been about me and my first fiancee.
"Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle looks just like a diamond ring"
John sings "Souvenirs" and "Sam Stone" solo, followed by duets on "Speed Of The Sound of Loneliness" and "Paradise". In between he tells some great stories. And next week, he'll be 70 years old. An American giant of music.
Wonderful the way these two have found a way to harmonize. Vicki Govan, end of June 2017
sigh, amen
As a disabled Vietnam veteran, Prine’s song “The Great Compromise” summed it the war and have haunted me since I first heard it. Thank you John!
He's a legend and most people don't know who he is. Sad
I hope I'll have a chance to see him live. I live in Nashville but damn, that old man gets around. When he's here the tickets are $200 a pop. I love John Prine, I love my wife also. She wouldn't be happy if I went to see him without her. That's the only way I could afford it.
I believe I just saw John Prine hand-off the Country Music baton to Sturgill. "Remember, the 'Country' in country music is America." Pres. Jimmy Carter
unanimous300 nah Sturgill isn't country
"Country" industrialists likely would like to appropriate these guys. Instead, try "folk". Try softer.
@@joshrussell8271 His first two albums were. Along with the Dead Dont Die. Try Four Flame Candles by him. Great song
Jacques Blaque I’ll say “folk,” because it really is softer, but in my heart, Sturge is country.
kathie clifton Country western folk blues rock gospel. I can hear it all in there
RIP - one of the best songwriters ever
Found John Prine through listening to Sturgill Simpson. Watched this clip many times, hard to watch it tonight. RIP gentle man.
Prines voice is better than it's ever been. This man deserves a Grammy, PERIOD....
He did win one in 2006 for Best Contemporary Folk album and been nominated four other times including this year for his latest album. He was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame this year as well...I know it's late in his career but I am happy people are finally seeing his genius.
He says he like his post-cancer voice better... Heard an interview on NPR
My buddy and I opened for John Prine around 1970 at a college coffee house. His first album had just come out and we were huge fans from the get-go. We did a few of his songs in our opening set. We got his permission. He was a really nice guy. Great memory.
I first heard and fell in love with John Prine and his music in 1975. I have never gotten tired of listening to him. Such a talented songwriter, singer, and storyteller.
There is just something about the aging of great artist's voices that gives them so much more depth. John Prine, Billie Holiday...you just hear the added depth of feeling that transcends the original recordings we all remember.
AintNo Disco gives this song gravitas - he was so young when wrote it, it fits better with his age at this performance. Always brought me tears.
Kathy Piazza Gravitas. Nice.
Brian Kelly Thanks
Kathy Piazza Here's one or two Ill set em up Long time running by the. Tragically hip. Destined to be a blues standard maybe. Ugh. Oh. Yeah ...... Neil young. Song is Called Helpless. I think. Wow heavy songs Diamonte en Bruto
Billie Holiday was only 44 when she died but she probably lived more than most.
Smiles smiles smiles. Those are my souvenirs. Thanks so much for mentioning us veterans.
Omg. He is coming to Toronto in December! I am 61 and only heard him because I was lucky enough to be alive when DJ's played what they wanted: Led Zepplin, The Stones, The Doors AND John Prine-on the same FM station in 1971 ♥
was that the show Langhorne slim opened up for him. iam still kicking myself for missing show. Iam only 47 but been a prine fan since I was 17. A true treasure to music
Thank you Mr. Prine for all the beautiful music you have given this world. We need it more than ever these days. Enjoy your 9 mile cigarette up in heaven.
I can’t imagine a world without John Prine
I know, me too. Everyday I wake up.. afraid to check the news.
d. j. Sad news today y’all.. may he live forever in his music and thru us the fans.
The fight is over and he’s now a star in heaven
The wonderful Mr. Prine is fighting for his life as we listen to his gifts right now...let everyone pray for his recovery
He's a treasure we don't need to lose right now.
Unfortunately he couldn't whip this one, may he rest in peace and never be forgotten. 🙏
It’s a sad sad day losing an American Treasure like John Prine. This is gonna hurt for a while.
How fortunate we are to experience such talent as Sturgill Simpson and John Prine on the same stage.
I got to watch John Prine and Steve Goodman in Milwaukee bars and coffee shops in the late 60's early 70's before anyone else knew how good they were. I never get tired of hearing his stuff. I miss Steve Goodman tremendously. I'm glad John has persevered and thrived. I still have all his records including a signed copy of his eponymous first album. It's about worn out, but I love the sound. It previews his voice today. Thanks John, for all the memories
RIP JOHN..I HAVE LISTENED TO YOU SINCE THE 70'S AND WILL NEVER GET OVER THE DEEP TRUTH OF YOUR SONGS LIKE MUELENBERG COUNTY GREEN 🍏 RIVER..AND OF COURSE SAM STONE . I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING JOHN PERFORM WITH IRIS ( CAN'T THINK OF HER LAST NAME ) BUT THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS 🌹 LOVELY AND HILARIOUS ( 🌈 RAINBOWS IN THEIR EYES), THAT MAY SOUND FAMILIAR TO FANS OF JOHN'S AND IRIS'S. HE IS A TROOPER; HIS LYRICS ALWAYS STAND OUT IN MY MIND. YOU ARE TALENTED AND INNOVATIVE IN THE WAY YOU WRITE YOUR SONGS. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU NOW AND THROUGH THE YEARS. WHAT AN AMAZING SINGER AND 🎸 GUITARIST YOU ARE. I WILL HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES OF YOU. GOD REST YOUR SOUL. WE ALL LOVE YOU!!
Been a fan since 1973. Seen him a few times. I was front row center 2006 Madison, WI. Paul Thorn opened. My kids grew up on a steady diet of Johns tunes. John Prine and Harry Chaplin are the greatest of story tellers. Broken hearts and dirty windows make life difficult to see.
. . . agreed!!. . .but. . PLEASE. .just add the late, GREAT Steve GOODMAN!!. . John's great buddy, songWriting partner and fellow CHICAGOAN!!!. . . R.I.P.sweet Stevie. . .a proud Chgo.gurl
He he writes songs to the way my soul feels.!
I had the Opportunity to see Mr. Prine solo.... Front row.....Woodstock Opera House in the 90’S.....Blessed!
Saw John for one-night gig in Vegas last Wednesday nite - it was awesome. The man's a legend. His band knows it too.
What a Man. You broke my heart countless times John. You lifted it above all expectations. You expanded my life John. Thank you. I will miss you forever.
John Prine fills every cell in my body witn joy every time I hear him. Thank you John. You have been one of the highlights of my life.
OK Power
I agree, the vibes bend my soul.
Such warmth from this man ! So sadly missed !
Remember listening to John Prine, Steve Goodman and Bonnie Kolack at the Earl of Old Town in the early 70s. What a treat.
John is at his best all by himself, 3 chords-a gravely vocal-and a story that cuts through eternity
This man!! This man!! I listen to his music EVERY EVERY EVERY DAY!! God Bless, John Prine!
The first time I heard John Prine was at a small venue near Philadelphia, I immediately fell in love with him and his music. When I heard that he was sick with the covid19 my heart broke. I pray for his recovery we need him and his music in our world.
Not Bob it's Em
Must have the Main Point. Saw him many times there
@@frankangelo7336 Ys it was the Main Point. Decades ago!
He is one of the greatest song writer's ever. I pray he survives. Im a first responder and i know how dire his situation is. But we do what we do. Maybe in July l can feel like i can kiss my kidos again. Hearts breakin but i cant show it.
Jay Gonzalez thanks Jay, May God Bless You!
What a delightful short concert . John Prine is a Master songwriter/singer , a true legend . He does a beautiful job here with Sturgill , who is a true gentleman and a fine performer . I love the way he respects the Master and accompanies him so well . A real gem , a wonderful slice of Americana , the kind we can ALL be proud of . In the very troubled world and where so much nastiness abounds , listening to John and Sturg makes the heart feel good . George Lewis , Sr
John Prime was a wonderful and a TRUE musician.. He sang a song with the words " Eat a lot of 🍑 peaches" that I loved..I enjoyed all his songs I ever heard. May GOD REST HIS SOUL.
We love you always John. I'm crying and laughing tonight. You are a blessing to us. Rest easy my friend.
Heard and saw John in 1970 at the Troubadour in LA...loved him then and love him still....the best...best writing, best singing, and yes even the best looking....hang in there John.
Saw him in 74 in Farmington, NM. Only about 10 people attended because nobody had heard of him. He sang and played as if it was a full house! Saw him again in 2009 to a full house in Red Bank, NJ after his ordeal with throat cancer.
I don't know if I'll ever hear this song again without tearing up. RIP John Prine.
John Prine.....The Best songwriter ever in my opinion....
I'd have to agree...very few people can combine humor and heartache the way he does.
No doubt the man is an absolute treasure, songs that hit common people directly, never redundant, as is most of the crappy ass country of today's radio airwaves. So, any singer/songwriter, globally famous, or back-porch megastar who doesn't know Mr Prine, or pick at least one Prine song in their repertoire is as about as useless tits on a boar hogg! Love all ya'll GOD BLESS.
"the man is an absolute treasure" Treasure being the operative word for sure!
Guess you’ve never heard of BOB DYLAN or Leonard Cohen.
I don't know for sure, but I have heard from several folks that Bob Dylan referred to John Prine as one of music's greatest storytellers. True or not, I certainly agree with that complement.
RIP to a music legend..sad day in music
beautiful music. Prines a gifted songwriter with a voice from God. Sturge is a genius and a gentleman.
Hell ya, Sturgill has been carrying the torch for years. John Prine is a legend. A great performance.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Two of my absolute favorite musicians , just add Mr Childers. Rest in peace John , hope your flag decal got you in !!!
you know he's in!
You have to love John.
If I could only click the like button a hundred times! Thanks John!
Who else can make you laugh and cry in the same song... been listening for 50 years🙏🏼
I am so glad I got to see John perform live so many years ago. Now I need to go see Sturgill.
Wrote souvenirs on the way to show??
Gifted from the start!
I used to take guitar lessons at the Old Town School of Folk Music back in the late 70's to mid/late 80's. A bunch of John Prine's music was included in our songbook. Great songs!
All the way from the south of Scotland his songs are still being played frequently here. What a man. Just brilliant.
I miss John Prine so much.... RIP, bud. Thank you for all the music.
The first time I heard John Prine I was a fan. I think Sturgis probably thought the same. It wasn’t about great vocals or guitar, it was the vocals and the story. A great song writer!
So Impressed with the respect Mr. Simpson has for Mr. John Prine
who wouldn't? The man's imagination with words is amazing. I have a double CD that I paid up for, just because I knew a few of his songs. Silly subjects he would make a song of. Try on Dear Abby or Christmas in Prison or Storm windows. Hello in There. Suddenly, Prine is hotter than ever. Might be because there isn't much imagination in song writing. He is kind of alike a lot of them. You wonder why they forgot how to write. Then guys like Prine and Rodney Crowell show they can still do it.
Still one of my favorite John Prine songs (and there are many). Who else could write a line like “broken hearts and dirty windows make life difficult to see.” Genius. You’re writing songs for the Heavenly choir now, John. We miss you down here.
I’m crushed to learn of the passing of this national treasure.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
REST IN PEACE MR. PRINE.
You will be missed.
I’ve met Sam Stone many times, and sadly, still not enough support out there for him.
RIP John, say hi to my dad!
God bless the soul of Mr. Prine. My he be at peace.
Saw John Prine and Willie Nelson in Whitefish Montana on the side of Big Mountain 2001. Man I wish I had a time machine. And then there's Sturgill....4 concerts and many more to come.
Wonder if John, found his aunts? That’s where the love was..... rip john
And his brother doug
I sure hope so. 💔💔💔
The music speaks for itself ...Sir, may you find peace and finally sing for the master.
A guy helping me out at an auto repair shop was telling me about his younger brother who came back from the middle east around 2001 or so and was staying with him. Really messed the kid up. Wouldn't sleep in a bed and when he did sleep would wake up screaming. People .....we've got to do more for these boys when we ask them to go overseas.
No more brothers wars for Jews.
I don't believe in War! There are plenty of resources on Planet Earth, that no one needs to be hungry, or homeless. Hard to wrap my brain around the fact that just recently, our "government" admits PRSD, among other things....!!! Seriously , it doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to know that if you teach children to kill other Human beings, at age 18, that they'll return home "normal"!!! And, even more unbelievable, is the fact that just recently the government can ADMIT this!! All of our Vets come back damaged... For LIFE! And they're NOT taken care of well enough, for the sacrifices they made. Just to line the pockets of the people who need it the least! The V.A. Is a JOKE, sadly!

John was definitely one of the greatest musicians I've enjoyed in my lifetime. Thanks for the good times your music brought to my life! ❤ R.I.P.
