One inebriated evening, twenty years ago back in grad school, a classmate of mine was like, "Hey, listen to this song." It was "In Spite of Ourselves" and my musical world changed forever. RIP Mr. Prine. Our hearts are broken.
@@uwcb1 that's Awesome, bless all John's fans we are in serious mourning right now played some yesterday and cried most of the day.. such a good man.. 💞
You prolly dont care but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
The other day I put some Prine in my lunchbox to listen to on the way to work. I knew he wasn't good. Getting ready the next morning, I heard the sad news. I couldn't even listen to any of his music or news on the radio. Wow, I knew it was gonna be a long day. After eight miserable hours, it was time to go home. Popped in John's Live On Tour cd and when it got to Lake Marie I cranked it. A beautiful sad song about a whole of things. Mostly loss. I shed a long tear and a smile came on my face. Thanks John. Thanks for making me laugh, cry, smile, make a sad day sunny and being a friend when no friend was to be found.
John Prines voice aged like a fine wine. Always enjoyed his later versions of old songs he did when young because of he had the perfect amount of hasp in his voice. Seemed like his picking got softer but cleaner as his voice got more gravel to it.
I had the pleasure and privilage of seeing john live 5 times in Ireland and had the joy of meeting him personally on all occasions,even had a smoke and a bourbon with him.They say never meet your hero well take it from me....if you get a chance do so.Humble,decent and in touch with his fans.Prayers are with you J.P......
I'm born and raised in Chicago and became a songwriter in large thanks to Prine and Goodman. Loved this interview of two hometown artists thinking back...John's passing inspired a new song, how could it not.
What a great video! Poor Bill & Kris, lost a friend. My condolences Bill Murray and Kris Kristofferson. RIP John Prine. Thanks for the amazing musical contribution. A true gem who will be missed. Sing with the Angels say hello to Steve! 💖🙏🍻
I first heard john in 1975 as a GI in northern germany. A fellow GI from dimwiddy cty wv. [sic] turned me on to him. When I got back to the US I became a big fan. I've seen him in concert at least 3 dozen times. The best show was him and steve goodman in cincinnati ohio. I teasure the memories.
John Prine and Steve Goodman, it’s hard to think of one without thinking of the other. Their songs helped me grow up. Their songs and stories taught us how to love, laugh, cry, live and how to die. Man heaven’s got a great band. Sure will miss you.
If only I could tell a story like these two. I had no idea of their relationship. John has gotta be entertaining 'em in heaven. Hope to see you there, John.
This guy shaped my music since 1977.My brother came back from university with this cassette tape of his music .I still remember Dear abby,Sam Stone ,Donald and Lydia like yesterday.My brother never knew the favour he did .I have seen JP three times in concert love the guy
I really enjoyed his sense of humor & the feelings he conveyed thru his lyrics & his soothing voice. somehow he managed to make me feel what he was feeling. cried this morning... again.
I love the clip of John Prine and Steve Goodman singing Souvenirs. I hate to think that we lost another great storyteller today in Bill Withers. We need all of them to be well and be well and healthy. Get well JP.
It's really amazing how I 'found' John Prine after about 25 years, probably more. I live in a very rural area where radio reception is hard to come by. There was a local blue grass/folk music station in the very next town that played no 'popular music' in the mid to late 70's. Then, the radio station went out of business and I forgot but didn't quite forget about John Prine who I always heard on a daily basis it seemed, on that station----him and John Fahey, Bill Stanes and others. Then, when I about gave up on TV---(maybe have it in the background as 'backlighting only on mute) back a few years or so ago....lo and behold, either I had an 'aha' moment and remembered Prine and looked him up or maybe he just appeared, don't remember now. Just glad and almost saddened in a way that so many years went by that I didn't allow myself the luxury of keeping a treasure like John Prine in my 'songbook' of life...better late(r) than never...
Craig Hill I just was introduced to John about 15 years ago and feel similar. He’s a treasure unlike any singer/songwriter in our lifetime...a creative genius of the highest order.
I had heard of Prine but never really focused on his music. One day I came home from work on a Saturday, dropped on the couch to nap, and turned the TV on and Austin City Limits was on and here was John Prine right after 'Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings' came out. I planned to nap, but ended up sitting up, buying his CD and then many more, and over the years taking my kids to a few of his shows when he came to Colorado. I caught him late in his career, and he had many fantastic songs, but holy hell that Lost Dogs album just clicked for me.
John, I have loved you for forty + years...rest in peace Bruised Orange was my first album & raised my children upon that & Billy Joel. You are missed so❤️❤️
My wife and father in law saw John and Steve Goodman on the Riverboat President in New Oeleans. Knowing Johns guiter tech, we were invited backstage after the show. Meeting John snd Steve was one of the most memorable moments of my life. We talked and had great New Orleans seafood for hours. He is such a warm and humble man. Prayers for your health.
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River, Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I'll be halfway to Heaven, with Paradise waitin' Just five miles away from wherever I am. Hope you made back to Paradise, John.
I just realized that my long standing GO TO song "Please Don't Bury Me".... has lost some of its lustre. "Paradise" is a more comforting thought. But then again...I can picture John and Stevie (Goodman) have a grant old time up in Songwriter Heaven....performing "PDBM". Miss them both!
You have to live a great story to tell a great story--Frank Capra told a friend of mine that when my world-traveling friend lived in LA many years ago.
In our house, our boys have grown up to his music and now as young adults they play it for their friends. We had great car rides listening and singing to John's music. RIP and enjoy that 9 mile long cigarette and your vodka & ginger ale! thanks for the memories! Rest In peace!
I used to go from my group guitar lessons at the Old Town School of Folk Music across the street to "The 5th Peg" where John would just get up and play (still wearing his Mailman uniform) and Steve Goodman would follow him...those were the days!!!
I've had JP's music since about '77. I've got on vinyl, 8 tracks, cassettes and CDs. I've seen him in several different states. It makes me realize the passage if time to see pictures of him now. I'm sure that someone would say the same to me. (getting old)
I've been playing his music since he started..Folks will fall in love with it, then I'll tell them who he IS..and then I just get more and more requests..I have been "tearing up" for several days and at 70 I figure if I go to Heaven .maybe I'll get a chance to play with him..and Leo Kottke...✌
The songwriting of Prine's first two albums and even the third and fourth albums were sooo much better than his later stuff. In the beginning, you felt like God was talking to you thru a Prine song. Likely, he was still influenced by the taking of psychedelics in the beginning. I pretty much considered him godlike in the beginning but watching his health deteriorate and seeing him put on weight all which left more of a sentimental, nostalgic feel to a concert as opposed to a religious experience, I thought he made a mistake in his addiction to touring when he really couldn't "tame the horse" anymore during a performance. Recent fans, I am sure, would argue but I go way back
I saw John Prine sometime in the early 90s at the Civic Opera House in Chicago. Lucinda Williams opened the show. At the time I knew nothing of John Prine except his name. I knew he was a musician but I didn't know the songs. After that night, I became a huge fan. I am glad that he's not really gone. He is floating on the breeze and lingering in the quiet passages of our minds.
When I saw John Prine at Bonnaroo, it was musical. The next event to happen in that tent (I had to hang around), the mayor gave Kris Kristofferson a key to the city. Small world.
What a joke that John Prine is not in the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME YET.

The Rock and Roll HoF is first and foremost a commercial endeavor not a historical record of great bands and singers. It's to draw in the visitors to make money. ABBA is in long before many great bands and John Prine. It's more like the Hollywood walk-of-fame than any real HoF.
Oh, my stars, John has gone to Heaven. I wish he wouldn't leave us here alone. Oh, my stars, John has gone to Heaven. I wonder will he bring us something home.
"Like returning astronauts." Everyone types LMAO when they really aren't. But I busted out right there. And that was part of his genius. How he used words and humor, weaving throughout sometimes dark songs. 7:52
Except that Bill Murray (don't get me wrong as I'm a fan) is cleverly aloof in nearly all of what he does while Prine was lovable (and seemingly approachable) in all of what he created.
JP mentioning Leo Kotke around 2:50 is actually pretty hilarious…and LK is so under appreciated im not sure his reference makes sense to everyone But Leo is a Jedi black belt on an acoustic guitar…you don’t even have to understand music to appreciate how skilled he is. So it’s kinda funny picturing a not so confident John Prine coming on behind Leo. If 1 guy is a wizard and 1 guy can’t tune his guitar that’s probably quite the contrast….but obviously John was coming with a world of depth and other attributes to make up for it
*Happy Birthday John.* I'm sure it's not a coincidence that "Linda Goes To Mars", would be the tune for this. considering that song made Bill laugh during a bout of depression. Also, I knew Kristofferson gave John his break, but I did not know that Paul Anka was there. I'm not surprised, because he knows good music. Anka was the one who got the ball rolling to get The Beatles to the U.S. their firs time here. RIP Steve. With this hectic world, and everyone crying out for help, God obviously needed you to sing songs for Him, to soothe His ears from all of us whiny humans down here.
A Florida Son John has told the story writing “you never even called me by my name” with Steve Goodman in Paul Anka’s hotel room. I seem to recollect him saying he told Steve to take all the credit for the song he didn’t wAnt his name on it. Goodman made some money with the song and I think bought John a new car with his share of the royalties. Someone will correct me if I’ve made an error in the story.
Bill Murray looks a little depressed. I love it when things like this just pop up on TH-cam man. I'm a fan of both of these gentlemen. And the movie Razor's Edge was not a financial success. But for some reason it's one of my favorite Bill Murray movies. Maybe because he was an unlikely choice for the role. And to me he stuck it. I loved his character in that. Heartbreaking movie And it introduced me to the upanishads. John Prine, we were like returning astronauts. That's funny. I saw him live in Vail, Colorado. Awesome show
Mr. Prine For you being someone that I have never met, For You being someone that I never Knew, I am going to continue walking with one hand in My pocket, just thinking about You. Rest In Peace John Best of Luck to Your Wife as she struggles and peace to your family.

John Prines voice aged like a fine wine. Always enjoyed his later versions of old songs he did when young because of he had the perfect amount of hasp in his voice. Seemed like his picking got softer but cleaner as his voice got more gravel to it.
I’ve always thought his voice aged like a good bourbon lol
