      How much he aged between these shows,!! Bout or two with cancer in his life, we watched him go from a vibrant young up & coming and Fiona & three boys, always writing and performing. Always right there.
      And then he was gone. And still, even. with no new songs, he's still there.

    I'm 43. I'm from Kentucky. Same as Jim James. My father sang to me a song about Mullenburg co. Kentucky on our way to school a lot of mornings. We saw John together at the Lexington oprea house and when he sang "Paradise" the whole place stood up and sang it. That song and John Prine's music changed me and my life forever in a million ways. Country Roads, Sweet Baby James, and Paradise were sung to my 5 children on nearly a daily basis. When I sang John's music in the shower, my wife knows I'm working through " some stuff". I'm babbling because I'm sad. Thank you Dad. Thank you John. God bless Kentucky

    Gotta love Dave Letterman for giving his audiences a look at some great American musical talents that weren't necessarily in the the mainstream spotlight. Cake was one example. Tom Russell another. Loved that he loved Lake Street Dive. But John Prine was the perfect example. An artist who knew America better than most Americans knew themselves.

      I met John a year before he released his first album. It was October 1970. I lived a block away from the 5th Peg where he got his start. A few friends & I happened to see him & were just stunned when he sang Sam Stone (it was currently topical). It was like a punch to the stomach. One friend described the experience as being like seeing Dylan in the East Village in the 1960’s. Seeing John in that small intimate setting was amazing. He described the background of every song before he sang it. I realized that I had a great opportunity & went to almost every show (2 on Fridays & 3 on Saturdays for a $1 cover & 2 drink minimum) for a year. I’d hang out in the bar (he performed in a back room) with him & his first wife Ann Carole between sets. I arranged for him to meet with some women in a feminist collective who had a radio show because his music spoke to us.

    It's late on the night John died. Almost midnight. He joins good friends like Stevie Goodman, kindred singer-songwriters like Leonard Cohen, and even fellow picture show artists like James Dean. Yes, John was in movies. Two movies, precisely. In both he played the older son with low self-esteem. I've only seen the one he was in with Billy Bob Thornton and Andy Griffith. It was thoroughly forgettable. Prine won't be remembered for his acting, but his songs will live on forever.

    First "met" John working as a teen for the Youth Conservation Corps on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Our staff were mostly from Oregon, and all played guitar. They were amazing in their own right( Cheechako String Band) . Had campfires after work, and the first song they played wad "Dear Abby", and then " Paradise"
    Needless to say, John is a revered person forever..his songs are still.a huge part of my life. Rest well John..

    I was fortunate enough to sing Spanish Pipedream with my band at a July 4th gig recently... and all I could think of was how we needed to have many more great songs from John Prine that we'll need to hear in these coming years. I'm sure thankful for what he left us all before he left this world of trouble.

    I been watching John Prine videos for 3 days. and the one common thing is the admiration his guitarist BEAMS as he looks to John. the bassist too. my heart goes out to them too. how bereft they must be to have that... presence.. gone from them after so long. I miss John more than I have any right to. the tears come back again and again. more than for my own mother. I don't understand why I miss him like I do.

    I miss the 70's 80's and even a bit of the 90's so bad. I could bust my balls to make myself a bit younger again but damnit. It will not bring these days back or my hero's. a 3 chord and capo genius. What songwriter.
