Thank you to the person who recorded and shared this video. I watch it every month and every time I watch it it’s like I’m watching it for the first time and it always makes me laugh
I woke up in middle of the night wondering if there was any news on Johns condition and ran into this video. I went from tears to laughter before it was over. I’ve loved his music for 40 years and have seen him at least a dozen times. The world isn’t ready to lose such an amazing talent.
I bought his first album in High School and have been a fan ever since. I had the pleasure of seeing him at the Newport Folk Festival years ago, a performance I remember to this day. Such a Sad Day when he died. These 33 people who gave a thumbs down must live the sad lives,,,
The man is a national treasure. There should be a statue made while he is still with us........he deserves it. Incredible talent and incredible sense of humor and the salt of the earth. God Bless ya John.
I've used to play John Prine tunes back in the '80's when I was a rocker.. now, I'm over 40, and LOVE his music.... just mastered "You Got Gold" and can't wait to take on a few more masterpieces... he is awesome ;)... I have a special friend to thank, who reintroduced me to him... thanks LLR...
I completely love John Prine . I have followed him from state to state for years , I cried so much when he got cancer a few years ago . I'm so glad he beat it . Love him so very much . Thank you for posting . Betty from beautiful Arizona .
One of my more "hip" counselors at church camp turned me on to Prine when I was about 16. Sam Stone, Great Compromise, Frying Pan,etc. Immediately identified with his music and learned lots of his tunes on my acoustic. Still try to catch him on tour every few years at least. My whole family enjoys his music. Took my younger daughter to see hi when she was abut four years old and she wowed all the folks around us by singing along with every song he sang. My father in law always wanted me to play Please Don't Bury Me for him.
I was there - Juneau High School auditorium. I've seen John in concert 5 times and this was the best. He played three hours and was so funny and right on musically all night.
WOW. I might look into it if i still around, but get back and tell me how it was! John is AWESOME, seen him live up in Canada in an open air concert by Lake Ontario back in the early 90s. What a beautiful night it was, John was in his prime that night, as he always is. Such a great songwriter, story teller and musician. He is the real deal.
oh wow, I would have loved to see this. This guy, and the older version of himself (he just gets better and better like violins and whiskey), playing in a high school auditorium...its more than enough for everyone.
No way is this music wasted on HS students. I heard John's music and loved it long before I was old enough to actually understand everything he was singing about. A good song is a good even if you don't know what it's about.
I'm with GunClinger. I've heard this song a million times. I play it myself. It's really a throw-away 2 minute tune. But that story in the middle of it is absolutely perfect.
@094340 I agree with you. I had the chance to meet him years ago in Tampa when he played there, got to go to one of his gigs as a guest...I have always loved his lyrics. He said that everything he wrote came off the toilet...saying that's where he did his best thinking...isn't that the truth!!
Here is my tribute to the great John Prine, new lyrics to his That’s the Way the World Goes ‘Round. Not as good as his, of course, but hopefully with some of his wit. A good way to remember him. I know a fella who ‘bout ev’ry night Drank and smoked by some candlelight By sunrise, he was an awful sight But he had completed his song. He sang his tune, asked to be heard Worked to be clever with ev’ry word His guitar ringing, his voice like a bird (That last line is probably wrong.) That’s the way the world goes ‘round Some dislike, others love your sound One day here, the next heaven-bound That’s the way the world goes ‘round
Happy Enchilada? At first I didn’t get it but if you listen to the story teller...much like in the Arlo Guthrie style then ...you get it. God bless John Prine. I’ll order Enchiladas ever time now
@@michaelochman1953 He was drinking hotel sink cocktails with Steve and they only ate the first half of the song. Now you know the rest of the story. Burp
I was home on leave with a hot girl whose dad owned a Cadiilac Dealership and we snorted a bunch of coke and smoked a bunch of pot with her brother and his girlfriend. We were shooting pool in the basement of his/her basement and I went to the coke machine to get a beer when the bottle fell on the floor and broke right in front of his grand dad and grand mother. I stood frozen like the proverbial deer in the head lights. He said "thats like mother milk, don't spill it" .
@flowerpostcards thank you very very much! . now, i know im asking too much, but, if you have time for this, i would like to know what the story about a Happy enchilada is!! thanksss!!

Love this song when I'm stressed out. It brings me back to earth.🌎
Beat cancer twice. He couldn’t make it through the Covid. M.I.C. He left a special place for us to go to, in his music.
Thank you so much John will never be forgotten 🙏.
I’ve never been this heartbroken over a musician dying before.
Same here, Chuck!
Me too. I've never cried when a celebrity died before.
@@janetstafford3700 the man wrote some seriously profound lyrics!
Chuck Finley Gut-wrenching.
You said it Chuck, his music will live forever 💚😓.
I was there, front & center with my family!
What a fantastic memory.

Amen to that! God bless Mr. Prine!!
Great song hes sings for the working class

Thanks for sharing. It’s a great version. I’ve enjoyed listening to it since ‘08-‘09. It’s brought lots of fun memories + laughs 😊
John prime is awesome!!
The man is a national treasure. There should be a statue made while he is still with us........he deserves it. Incredible talent and incredible sense of humor and the salt of the earth. God Bless ya John.
Mister EIE Absolutely. None better. Period. Those apposed need only chill and hear the words again.
So true.
Can not be replaced
Love John Prine... I can't think of a more plainspoken and charming songwriter. An authentic national treasure. God bless him.
I think the world needs a happy enchilada song, and JP would be the man to write it.
It looks like I will be crying every time I hear one of his songs for a while.
The wit and wisdom of Mark Twain!

What a great Entertainer...song writer,singer,storyteller...etc...

My best friend i never met!
Thank you for this.. It honestly made my day! John Prine is was and will always be one of the greatest singer/songwriters. God Bless John Prine!!!
WOW, BEAUTIFUL, TY. WHAT A GREAT MAN.
Say hello to heaven.... And have fun with Steve Goodman, John. REST IN PARADISE
Rest in Peace, John
I love this version, his story at the end never fails to crack me up :)
Its got me so excited to see Him when he came down to Nola last year. Laughed & cried the whole time, it was "all the best" ...
@@ardelcourvelle8432 John has the ability to make people laugh and cry at the same time. To me it is very Godly
.
I'm with you on that. The women grovin to is great...makes me smile the whole way through!
Absolutely wonderful clip. Thanks for posting it.
Fantastic version of this song.

I Will FOREVER LOVE YOU ❤️✌️
RIP You'll be missed
Love to your family to stay strong
Wow. what an entertainer. I'd really love to see John live.
Can't wait to see him in Tampa in November! Love that guy.
IT WILL BE A GREAT TIME! ENJOY AND COME BACK TO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT! PLEASE.
WOW. I might look into it if i still around, but get back and tell me how it was! John is AWESOME, seen him live up in Canada in an open air concert by Lake Ontario back in the early 90s. What a beautiful night it was, John was in his prime that night, as he always is. Such a great songwriter, story teller and musician. He is the real deal.
OMG that is wonderful
Hilarous, John will certainly live on through his music, good humour and great performances! He "did it his way"!
What a national treasure!!
Outstanding!!
This is a great video and thanks for uploading it🙏❤
Yep, Ellen... you found an American treasure here. Get to tunes and hear how much you have been missing from this great songwriter. Enjoy!
I miss him - he hasn't been to Ireland for a few years now - get well and come back soon John - we love you
BEST.
LIVE.
PRINE.
UPLOAD.
EVER.
PERIOD.
Like to see more of this show. Happy Enchilada.
The happy enchilada! This is great!!!
Priceless!
He lives!!!
Awesome song
oh wow, I would have loved to see this. This guy, and the older version of himself (he just gets better and better like violins and whiskey), playing in a high school auditorium...its more than enough for everyone.
> he just gets better and better like violins and whiskey
👍👍👍
The show was for the general public. It was just held at the school auditorium.
What an Earth-shattering loss now that he's gone...
one of the most important people in American music and he's performing in a high school auditorium and getting 0 radio play
YEA CRAZY, BE THANKFUL YOU HEARD
My kids are wondering why dad's laughing with headphones on. God I love this guy.
@AngelicDiablo13 I too am always the happy enchilada when listening to John Prine.
Oh John
The best there ever was.
Best song EVER, JP ROCKS!

That 'ol martin sounds pretty pretty pretty good when john plays it ..
a musical genius!
Hope you beat this virus.
Sending my love, be well xx
great !! love it!! love it all

RIP John. Find piece up there with Linda on Mars.
Always the best!
Happy Enchilada!!
thanks for this video, I really needed a good laugh today
That is priceless!
Gotta love him :-)
Here is my tribute to the great John Prine, new lyrics to his That’s the Way the World Goes ‘Round.
Not as good as his, of course, but hopefully with some of his wit. A good way to remember him.
I know a fella who ‘bout ev’ry night
Drank and smoked by some candlelight
By sunrise, he was an awful sight
But he had completed his song.
He sang his tune, asked to be heard
Worked to be clever with ev’ry word
His guitar ringing, his voice like a bird
(That last line is probably wrong.)
That’s the way the world goes ‘round
Some dislike, others love your sound
One day here, the next heaven-bound
That’s the way the world goes ‘round
Great! shout out to Jimmy Buffett too!!
OPen your eyes! J.P. sings he truth even it is unpleasant.. Peace to ya!
thanks
@flowerpostcards muchas gracias, abrazo!
i wonder how the lady who asked him to sing its a "happy enchillada" feels everytime she hears this song. lol
I'll bet she's pretty honoured. I'd give anything to be that woman, since she got to see him live, which I was never able to do.
That's Funny!!! :) He was quite the songwriter....
R.I.P.
I like it!
love it
Hey I agree with you.
Happy Enchilada? At first I didn’t get it but if you listen to the story teller...much like in the Arlo Guthrie style then ...you get it. God bless John Prine. I’ll order Enchiladas ever time now
Love the so ng
"It's a half a enchilada an ya think ya gonna drown!"
What happened to the other half of the enchilada?0
@@michaelochman1953
He was drinking hotel sink cocktails with Steve and they only ate the first half of the song.
Now you know the rest of the story. Burp
Half an inch of Water. Sounds like Happy Enchilada.
LOL I ONCE WAS AFRAID OF WATER
It does, it really does, if you want it to lol
Personally, if it's not beat up a bit ( think Willie Nelson's guitar Trigger ) it hasn't reached its full potential.
Happy enchilada
I changed some words too
John was looking really slim here and grumbely beans was a better lyric imo lol
Its about a half an inch of water!!
Coming to Derry for City of Culture year
if buffet fans are parrotheads, are prine fans happy enchiladas? o.O
Ha ha, you too!

Hmm, found treasure
HAHA, INDEED!
Part Deux - This is part of the previous post but I ran out of letters. So anyways grand dad caught me with a broken beer bottle in basement watching me fumble all coked up and stoned trying to clean it up. He watched me and shuffled away.

But that's way....
nowonderI4get i
Even better than the Kitchen Table version!
@emriederekify Oh, ok. Gotta admit, you had me worrying, I had to go to google.
@raeannt Sure, I only meant when his time comes.
Hi, a whole transcript of JP's speech would be much appreciated here in Boston; we can't understand half of what he says. :-)
+Joseph Kolmansky One these days on us hillbillies will have to interpret it for you. :)
+Joseph Kolmansky We can't understand y'all either. LOL
That is the stupidest fuckn comment Ive ever heard Its all English u Boston Fuck
Joseph im from NZ and i got every word. Disrespectful twat!
Really? Feel sorry for you.
