What John Mellencamp said..."Losing John Prine is like losing Moses. He stood on top of the hill and he gave us words of wisdom and truth. John Prine and I wrote songs together and made a movie together. We laughed together, and he spent many a lost weekend at my house. John Prine’s name is written in the stars. And we should all be happy that he has left us with such wonderful songs and records, just like Moses leaving tablets, that remind us what it is to be a good person and a great songwriter."
@@markrush5013 I know what you mean. I meant that he didn't get the recognition he should have. Even when I was a KID MYSELF, I liked this song. I thought it was pretty cool and still do.
A good friend of mine was in prison and was playing Prine when other inmates began to encourage him to play more. He became a great 12 string guitarists before he was taken home by pancreatic cancer. Brian Brown was his name , from west central Ind. Lost Dogs was the name of his band.
"Six million ,seven hundred thousand and thirty three lights on,You think somebody could take the time to listen to the words of my song" that lyric along with the rest of the song is tight
Just want to say thank you for your post I'm still hurting and will be for a while Just wanted you to know you're not alone in the way you feel about John Prine
I just lost my dad. This is the song he asked to be played at his memorial over 20 years ago. I grew up on this music and I love it. Next stop is Gordon Lightfoot and Jimmy Rogers.
25 years listening to this timeless track from the great "Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings". It is so sad that this dreadful virus has taken such a talented musician from us all. John Prine, R.I.P. Your music will never be forgotten.
Nope. COVID killed him. He was still touring when the pandemic hit. He had more shows left in him that he would've played if not for that virus. His age, lifestyle, and medical history put him more at risk, but it was COVID that took him out in the end. 😔 Miss him so! ❤️
I can only imagine 🤔 your not sitting at the top of a telephone pole, listening to "Little Richard" singing tutti Frutti"..😏😉 Hard to accept the loss of any Legend,..😣much less 2 Legends so close😪😥 SO..it "helps" by knowing YoU were a Little Richard Fan too💞💯👏👏 Heavens been Blessed! RIP 🙏John Prine..RIP🙏..Little Richard.. (Thanks for putting Macon on the MaP)😉👏💯
Funny how fans pop up who total y forgot they once loved John's songs and then there's people like you who are being turned on xx what blessings he is receiving now for passing on his blessings while he was here...
Without question, for me, the epitome of a singer/song writer. I was lucky enough to see him in a very intimate setting. Leon Redbone opened! Amazing. I was so sad when he died. I'm still sad. This man was magic.
I became a John Prine fan in the 70's after hearing 🎶"there's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes"🎶 I was HOOKED "pun intended"😉 I wasn't expecting a tear rolling down as I found out he passed on my birthday April 7th but I wasn't surprised about tears. I felt I'd lost a lifelong friend. The Man is gone but his music lives on!
Bought John a beer at the Station Inn in Nashville one evening. Regular guy. I told him i was a huge fan. He said Dang, countin Mama there's 3 of yall now! Later that night Boll Monroe visited and played and sang. Bedt evening i can recall...
"...and sittin' in the audience- is Lucky Larue... "Still got his hand in his pocket, thinkin' 'bout you. John ain't hurtin; nobody- he ain't hurtin' no one..." Some of are listening RIP Friend...
I don't know why I thought of this song today. I haven't heard it in years. I used to be a maid at a motel, and I kept the TV's in the rooms on the country music station. This song played alot. Shuckin' that corn made me laugh.
The old man got out the pin and went on two week banger. Lost dogs and mixed blessings played alot in the weeks that followed. He passed in 08.i will will forever miss ya dad. Hope I've done ya right
I always imagine I live like a John Prine song. They play in my head like narration. Sometimes I am Lucky LaRue, Somtimes I am Darling Jim. His music is just a part of me.
How can people come to this song & then not like it. The mind boggles. You surely know what you are likely to get with Prine. This is great, just rolls along.
Roosters laying chickens, chickens laying eggs, farm machinery eating peoples arms and legs, I ain’t hurting nobody ain’t hurting no one!!!! Man o man he could write!….
American Treasure Left Us a History Library of Great Music the ol World is Less a Great Man...the Way he Took us all in as Family is a Blessing I'll carry in our Hearts and Souls Forever and a Day ! Missin John Prine...Angels are Singing !..ol couple of 50yrs way down in TX...❤ ! Goodness Grace and Peace to the Prine Family...❤
My mom used to play this album all the time when I was a kid, and this was my first ever "favorite song." Now I'm 20 and listen to John of my own accord. This song still makes me feel as "cool" as it did back then.
I just read that John has been hospitalized in critical condition after contracting the evil and vile covid-19 virus. Prayers to John and his family...
Thank you John Prine you were a wonderful entertainer. We enjoyed your music and song and will miss you. Some of us still have records and c.ds and will pass them on to our children and you will live on. Rest in Peace.
"I was 9 years old. Heard Little Richard singin Tutti Frutti from the top of a telephone pole"! The ECONOMY of words to paint such brilliant pictures across Time, what a treasure. He's been Scotch-Taping my head together for about 46 years now.
Rest In Peace John, you were one heck of a storyteller., singer , songwriter, prayers for your family...That's right You Are not Hurting Anymore. Will keep your memory alive thru your songs🎼🎧🎤😥
Us too, first time I remember hearing him was at our family cabin, back in the early '70's, saw him once, in Minneapolis, we both had tears in our eyes.
Taylor Watkins actually, they were looking at Steve Good man and loved him. Good man apparently said," u think my stuff is good, you should hear my friend (John Prine)...and off they all went...
every time I hear him, he sounds even BETTER?? whats not to like.. and a smokin band with great harmonies! WHOA..go easy on us John, we are mere mortals!
"I ain't hurtin' nobody, I ain't hurtin' no one"... I am a Libertarian, and this is my theme song! Don't bother me, and I won't bother you. That is pretty much my philosophy of life.
Saw this when I was 10 years old, and never forgot about it. Started singing it tonight and had to look it up. I wasn’t hurtin’ nobody; I wasn’t hurtin’ no one.
Super smooth...flows like melted ice cream down the thoat. Love the reference to roosters laying chickens and chickens laying eggs! Nice. I Aint Hutin Nobody either.
Seen you play your 1st album. great! you have always wrote and sang such meaningful songs, You Will Be Forever Missed... Grateful you came into my life at such a great time in my life. God Bless my friend

Respect to you BPS. So sorry for such a great loss, and the unfinished chapters.
thank you
I 💯 percent absolutely agree
love love this as the two Johns are my musical heroes -thanks for sharing
Saw JP many times and everything Mellencamp said is true. One of a kind
Mr. Prine was EXTREMELY UNDERRATED.
underrated? maybe by the kiddies...but who cares what they think?
well If you didn't "grow up" listening to him maybe you could write a letter to Dear Abby, and wear an illegal smile?@@markrush5013
He's the best in my book except maybe Dylan.

Got my hand in my pocket thinkin of you. Only JP could write a line like that.
Roosters laying Chickens, Chickens laying eggs. Another JP classic line.
Great line. ❤❤
True

I ain't hurting nobody, says John Prine. I wish we all could say the same.
RIP John Prine -- I loved this song, man
Love this song too.
He died? Btw this is the first song I heard from him
@@bigbootyjudy450 You ment to say "love" not "loved".
This is flat-out the coolest song ever, R I P John Prine you will be missed
Like lucky laroo
Music City and all of the music world is hurting tonight. RIP JP
Just want to say thank you for your post I'm still hurting and will be for a while Just wanted you to know you're not alone in the way you feel about John Prine
Ain't no one like Mr. John Prine. He wasn't hurting nobody at all! 🤘🏻💪🏻 I have to thank my dad for introducing me to him, and I'm glad he did!
I just lost my dad. This is the song he asked to be played at his memorial over 20 years ago. I grew up on this music and I love it. Next stop is Gordon Lightfoot and Jimmy Rogers.
Another masterpiece from John Prine is about real life.
Been listening to John since the early 90s. I have often said he's the only best friend I have that I've never met. Love this man!
i aint lying i am religious but JP has gotten me thru
I’ve been listening to him since 1972 & it was a ‘love at 1st sight’ Kind of thing. Sam Stone & Flag Decal was the introduction ❤️❤️
I feel the same way about him. I've been listening to him since 1976. Hearing about him being sick with the virus was a punch in the gut.
Joe Tillman
Amen
I've been listening to him since 1970's on AM
25 years listening to this timeless track from the great "Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings". It is so sad that this dreadful virus has taken such a talented musician from us all.
John Prine, R.I.P. Your music will never be forgotten.
One of his best albums. So many good tunes on it.
Not a bad cut on the whole album.
Ummm, smoking 2-3 packs a day for decades is what killed him. Heart disease.
@@papichulo5552 Another victim of the Covid psy-op
Nope. COVID killed him. He was still touring when the pandemic hit. He had more shows left in him that he would've played if not for that virus. His age, lifestyle, and medical history put him more at risk, but it was COVID that took him out in the end. 😔 Miss him so! ❤️
John made us better humans.
Folk music needed a transition to get into the mainstream of music, again. Yep!
I can only imagine 🤔
your not sitting at the top of a telephone pole,
listening to "Little Richard" singing tutti Frutti"..😏😉
Hard to accept the loss of any Legend,..😣much less 2 Legends so close😪😥 SO..it "helps" by knowing YoU were a Little Richard Fan too💞💯👏👏 Heavens been Blessed! RIP 🙏John Prine..RIP🙏..Little Richard..
(Thanks for putting Macon on the MaP)😉👏💯
Thanks for your gifts to humanity
For me, John is the standard. Others should be compared to him.
This is the first time I've heard this song, 5 beers in after I heard John died and I've got a new favorite. Thank-you and farewell John Prine.
Funny how fans pop up who total y forgot they once loved John's songs and then there's people like you who are being turned on xx what blessings he is receiving now for passing on his blessings while he was here...

Ugh, heartbreaking... We have lost John Prine. 🥺💔😞
Top notch American singer songwriter right here .

Hello beautiful 👋 hope my message finds you in your best of mood?
If I had had a big brother, I'd have been happy if he would have been like John Prine.
I introduced a friend and band leader to John and this song. Now he does it every show.
Can't believe I had to get to 77 before I heard this guy. Shame on me.
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song! How are you?
My little brother's middle name was LaRue this song always makes me think of him he died at 21
The old man got out the pin and went on two week banger. Lost dogs and mixed blessings played alot in the weeks that followed. He passed in 08.i will will forever miss ya dad. Hope I've done ya right
All your fans, family, and friends are hurtin today.
We are all so much poorer without you, my friend
Sending some good energy to John Prine, who is in critical condition...another tragedy in these crazy times.
Love to John always 😁😁
One Day was here....
Seems a shame the official John Prine channel can't provide a higher resolution video of this awesome song!
Can you believe I’m hearing this song by the master for the first time?
John Prine Died: April 7, 2020, Nashville, TN ... He will be missed. What a Great songwriter. R.I.P.
Can’t believe he’s gone now the world is a darker place one of a kind the one & only miss you John
I always imagine I live like a John Prine song. They play in my head like narration. Sometimes I am Lucky LaRue, Somtimes I am Darling Jim. His music is just a part of me.
Sometimes ya hate when a song keeps going through your head, never feel that with a John Prine song.
I would love to donate, but im poor.im sure john would understand.hes always in my heart, he will never be forgotten,much love to Fiona and family
This man was/is a lyrical genius. RIP John Prine. 💔
Gifted and funny
Always listening to John while I was in prison.
How can people come to this song & then not like it. The mind boggles. You surely know what you are likely to get with Prine. This is great, just rolls along.
FANTASTIC GROOVE
I know how can not like it. He ain't hurting nobody 😋
#covid19sucks 💔 Rest in Paradise Mr. Prine
So Long, John. We'll Miss Ya, Buddy.
R.I.P.
Hey, I'm Lucky LeRoux. That's my name since the 11th century. I love this song.
We lost another Oracle of American music. RIP John Prine. 🙏

You know……..a legend never dies.
My mom used to play this album all the time when I was a kid, and this was my first ever "favorite song."
Now I'm 20 and listen to John of my own accord. This song still makes me feel as "cool" as it did back then.
I play this when I go in this bar I like to hit. It,s fun to watch the people walk up to look at the juke box to see whose singing. Love it
Even Bob Dylan was a big fan ... Doesn't get any better than that ....
I love that too
Kinda like your putting on a performance on I love to do that it can be extremely expensive at the right time
I just read that John has been hospitalized in critical condition after contracting the evil and vile covid-19 virus. Prayers to John and his family...
This is breaking my heart....
Me too. I hope he can beat this thing!
I know, and it is breaking my heart as well. I don't see how he can beat it, unless they give him the drugs that are helping others.
Been bummed out all day. Long, long time fan.
Prayers for John I love his music 🎶 “He ain’t a hurtin nobody”
3 chords & the truth R.I.P John thanks for the songs
As a kid I remember wondering what Little Richard was doing on "top of a telephone pole" LMAO
Thank you John Prine you were a wonderful entertainer. We enjoyed your music and song and will miss you. Some of us still have records and c.ds and will pass them on to our children and you will live on. Rest in Peace.
Shine on John! ♥️🎶
My heart is broken. THANK GOD we have Johns tunes. 💙
Enjoy that 9 mile cigg , John , you deserve to sit an enjoy....🚬🎶☮️
God bless John Prine
"I was 9 years old. Heard Little Richard singin Tutti Frutti from the top of a telephone pole"! The ECONOMY of words to paint such brilliant pictures across Time, what a treasure. He's been Scotch-Taping my head together for about 46 years now.
What a terrible loss. Hoping to see you soon, John.
That is my favorite line. Love singing it when I play it.
Keep on Trucking young country 🎉❤
The world was a better place with you in it John. RIP
git an ILLEGAL SMILE in honor of this treasure
Rest In Peace John, you were one heck of a storyteller., singer , songwriter, prayers for your family...That's right You Are not Hurting Anymore. Will keep your memory alive thru your songs🎼🎧🎤😥
Listening to the songs of life from this man for 40 years and loving it
You got it James!
Same here
Us too, first time I remember hearing him was at our family cabin, back in the early '70's, saw him once, in Minneapolis, we both had tears in our eyes.
The music world has lost another Oracle. Rest in Peace Friend. 04/07/2020
I cried so hard, hearing the news. I love you Mr Prine.
Truly a Legend!... Sorry it had to go this way....You Left a Legacy. Thank You Sir.
John Prine ,story teller supreme, smooth as can be.
I love the song and lyrics. RIP my poet.
John has shades of Dylan and Petty yet with a style all his own - good stuff
He's got a little Kris Kristofferson in there too.
Cactass Dupree Kris Kristofferson discovered him and got him his first label contract.
Gerry Clemons did not know that GC
Taylor Watkins actually, they were looking at Steve Good man and loved him. Good man apparently said," u think my stuff is good, you should hear my friend (John Prine)...and off they all went...
This song has Leonard Cohen vibes
One of the very very best! R. I.P. John
Man this song is smooth.I am a lyricist and these are 🔥.Great Song and Performance
He buried that line in there Just like PPM's "I dig..." The more I go back and really, and I mean really listen...the more I learn
Love ole john
Very kind to share this
Love John Prine had inspired me to have him have songs at my wedding
I am so glad my parents raised me on the music they did.
Rest in peace John Prine and thanks for the music.
I just picked a splinter out of my hand I am so thankful for this band I ain’t hurting nobody. Lol.
every time I hear him, he sounds even BETTER?? whats not to like.. and a smokin band with great harmonies! WHOA..go easy on us John, we are mere mortals!
"Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use the wrong rhyme"
Prine was absolutely right here, and I like Carly Rae Jepsen.
"Hey, I just met you and this is crazy. But here's my number, so, uh----just give me a ring sometime, mmkay?" That's more realistic.
Who would dislike this song he aint hurtin nobody he aint hurtin no one
"I ain't hurtin' nobody, I ain't hurtin' no one"... I am a Libertarian, and this is my theme song! Don't bother me, and I won't bother you. That is pretty much my philosophy of life.
We'll keep on hurt in no' one for ya John, just wish I could remember what you and Bonnie sang at P.F.F., bet you wouldn't either😂
Farewell kind sir. We are lesser without you.
Saw this when I was 10 years old, and never forgot about it. Started singing it tonight and had to look it up. I wasn’t hurtin’ nobody; I wasn’t hurtin’ no one.
San Judas Tadeo John Prine
John Prine, RIP, you are still the Best, GOD , Best. God got your family, Be, blessed.
Rest in power, legend.
Rock In Peace
So many great songs he gifted us
He is always one of the best singer songwriters.
Rest in Peace John ! Thanks for the great music ! You will be missed !
Six Million seven hundred Thousand and thirty-three lights are now on for you

My first and favourite Prine song. RIP, John!
Seen you play your 1st album. great! you have always wrote and sang such meaningful songs, You Will Be Forever Missed... Grateful you came into my life at such a great time in my life.
God Bless my friend
I love this song
Who could possibly dislike this?

We lost a good one. His music helps me a lot. Nanci Griffith & Iris Dement too.
