John Prine is my #1, #2 and #3 most favourite artists. I am 65 and have been listening to him since I was about 20. I was homeless a few times and lost everything. Eventually getting back on my feet... the first music I would re-buy would be John Prine. He's as much a part of my heart as any family member I have. And I say that in a positive way. Just a couple of nights ago, Christmas Eve, 2018 I was invited to an afternoon guitar jam sharing music with a friend's mom. Her mom is 81. 'Mom' was having such a great time and at one point Peggy, her daughter, leaned over and asked her what her favourite music of all time was. Her response nearly knocked Peggy off her seat... without taking a second to think she said... John Prine. Peggy was shocked because for years I have tried to get Peggy to learn some John Prine and she always declined. As of Christmas Eve she has a brand new goal in life. Learn John Prine so we can play for her mother again.
I am thankful that I made the trip to see John for the last time at Merlefest 2016. He left us a treasure chest of great music! We will miss this fantastic songster!
Everytime I here a John Prine song it reminds me of my stepdad and best friend. I hope you are both playing your guitars together. I will remember you always.
The world is smaller tonight but also better for his having lived and taught us all so well. May you fly home on the wings of an angel from Montgomery...my prophet, my hero...JP.
I bought his first album in 1970 or 71 and I saw him live twice and I still love him and even though I'm almost 72 yrs old and still remember almost all his lyrics as they're too great to forget!
God bless this wonderful man. He is one of the very best songwriters in American history, leaving behind an incredible musical legacy that takes a back seat to none.
Great childhood memories to this song..my aunt and uncle would play this when I was 7 or 8....they were like 20..me and my sister would laugh our asses off to this....rest easy Mr. Prine!
🌹We all shed a tear for one of our dearest troubadours❤️ 4/7/20 God Speed John, I’ve only listened to you for about half a century but I was hoping for another decade or two. You will be missed
So long, John, old friend, thank you for the evening at The Warner in Erie and all the years of fun and the wisdom you shared. May bands of Angels sing thee to thy rest.
RIP dear soul. Saw you at Summerfest Milwaukee maybe 78, not positive I was a just maybe 12 years old. 52 years young today I still remember that concert. Thank you 🙏🏻 for the music.

Happy you're doing better and have a place to lay your head. I know that feeling. Peace and love
I'm 76. His music - the irony, the sense of humor, the depth - have kept me balanced since I first heard him. He'll be missed.
@@rickotto4742 Yeah John's music was always my favourite.
I'm 57 and I've been listening to John Prine my whole life and I'm one of his many number 1 fans.
I can relate , my first re buy was Bruised Orange
Dear Lord...PLEASE take care of this man right now...we ain't ready to give him up
Amen!
Sit down. I've got some bad news.
@@contemporaryary Thank you Jesus, for letting us be born in the era to know John Prine.
@@peggygibbons479 Amen ! I had 35 years of his great lyrics, fine guitar playing and lovely humour. RIP John.
RIP one of my favorites. Its will be the week of john prine here in my home
hopefully future generations will enjoy his ....... it was more than music.
Pretty heartbroken to hear that John is gone, today, but thankful he left these songs that reflect his great sense of humor.
I am thankful that I made the trip to see John for the last time at Merlefest 2016. He left us a treasure chest of great music! We will miss this fantastic songster!

Goodbye, John. Thank you.
Everytime I here a John Prine song it reminds me of my stepdad and best friend. I hope you are both playing your guitars together. I will remember you always.
RIP John, see you on the other side.

couldn't have said it better :(
Rest In Peace, John. Thanks for getting me through some hard times.
There was only one John Prine class of his own my hero.
It saddens my heart to hear John passed today. RIP old friend, you will be sorely missed.
You won't get this song out of your head.
Why would you want to?
This was my introduction to John Prine thanks to the Dr. Demento show.
I bought his first album in 1970 or 71 and I saw him live twice and I still love him and even though I'm almost 72 yrs old and still remember almost all his lyrics as they're too great to forget!
RIP the world lost a great human being.
Alas another shining light has just gone out , rest in peace J P
I well remember singing this song around campfires with the family . Quite the words
Bless you, John..wherever you're strumming your guitar and singing with the angels......I'm going to miss you something terrible! Rest In Peace, John!
May he Rest In Peace. On of the greatest song writers of our time.
He's a great songwriter for so many legendary singers. Helped me through times with his music. This country-Midwest at it's best. Our best of America.
♥ No.words.
John, you made our lives better. Say hi to Steve for me. ♫
Thank you for a really good time Mr. Prine.

I didn't know of your music for very long, but I see how important you are. Thank you for reshaping how I feel about folk music.

RIP and God Bless you John Prine. I spent many lovely times listening to him while sporting an illegal smile
RIP John Your body parts surly went to into the Musical Heaven Gates. Thank you for all your love, and joy.
I feel so fortunate that I got to see John a couple of times. I remember feeling so good after each performance.
...and all this time since 1985, I thought Livingston Taylor wrote this song! Dang Nab It! Thanks to Chris McDaniel for leading me to this!
Yes....Michael Robinson...exactly what we need right now...healing hands laid on Dear Mr Prine
I first heard this song when I was in my early 30s over 35 years ago, and I have not stopped loving it Or loving him ever since thanks so much

He's not dead. He's very sick right now, but he's alive.
He's not dead yet. Don't go throwing that non-healing shit around!
When I got there they did say
John it happened this way

Can hardly wait 'til November, John & Jason!

Speedy recovery ❤️
Agreed Michael
Seeing him tonight.
my foot fell asleep as I swallowed my candy knowing he was in heaven before he died...
John, all your parts are here with me! So sorry man , the US President seemed to think he could solve it by keeping everything to himself.
is that a Ry Cooder lookalike on lead guitar?
I hope this was the last song he sung as he crossed over. ....
Pat McLaughlin on the mandolin.
RIP to one of the greats.
