My best friend growing up was a boy name Daniel I was a rich kid my family owned all the business and the quarry in our small town Daniel I guess you would say was from the wrong side of the tracks 6ft and Built by the age of 16 he was kinda of a bully to everyone but not me we were the most unlikely of friends but we would spend hours up in his bedroom listening to old LP records on old stereo Daniel had a depth and appreciation for lyrics and Poetry that he didn’t show to anyone else but me maybe because I played guitar Daniel introduced me to John Prine he was Daniel’s favourite Artist - Daniel died in a car crash around about the time his 19th birthday it broke my heart - I still can hear him singing bruised orange walking a head in the mist as we walked home from what ever night adventures we had been on - Still Miss you Daniel think of you when ever I play me some John Prine
What a beautiful story and at the same time what a sad story; I think all of us have sometimes homesickness as we think of the friends we had in our younger days…
Now im a Dylan fan and ive not long discovered John Prine(please forgive me ) now ive seen Dylan a few times but im heart broken i never have never seen John and sadly now never will, i must have now watched every John Prine videos on youtube, all i can say is John im sorry ive lost all these years rip sir,but luckily i bought a load of lps and there was one with this bloke who i never knew and yes it was John Prines first album!!!!!! is this fate???
Amigo, me sucedió lo mismo, primero Bob Dylan (desde 1976) y John Prine ahora (desde 2020 y conocerlo solo después de publicarse su muerte).. En mi caso tengo PERDON pues soy de un lejano país llamado Chile... Saludos. -------------------------------------------- Friend, the same thing happened to me, first Bob Dylan (since 1976) and John Prine now (since 2020 and meet him only after his death was published) .. In my case I am FORGIVENESS because I am from a distant country called Chile ... Greetings.
saw him for the first and only time just before he died. austin texas. 100 dollars for nose bleed seats. no regrets. thank you for all you gave us john
"John Prine was a sweet and lovely man, and I was proud to count him as my friend. He wrote music of towering compassion with an almost unheard of precision and creativity when it came to observing the fine details of ordinary lives. He was a writer of great humor, funny, with wry sensitivity. It has marked him as a complete original.”--Bruce Springsteen
Never heard of him growing up, then my friend took me to see him in Grand Forks, ND. He was white haired at this time. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. I became an instant fan. I got to discover his music as new 30 years after this performance.
I seriously thought about the lyrics to this song and laughed my ass off about it,until i realized it was a perfect description of me and my tumultuous marriage at the time.
Dedicated to Mr. Trump. I try not to get political on Facebook, but sometimes I just can't resist. I have to wonder why it is that Trump says democrats as "so desperate" to make sure he doesn't run again that they had his home "raided." Hmmm - If there is nothing there that would prevent him from being able to run, he shouldn't be worried.
Speaking as a die-hard Trump fan and also a long time lover of John Prine and his superlative songwriting talent (since 1969 if memory serves), I suggest you refrain from using Mr. Prine as a tool for political comment. Both John and Trump could speak for themselves, and I for one, do not need you to throw your $0.02 into the mix and harsh up the vibe. That's just my opinion, of course..

So sorry for your loss. You gained a lot by him introducing you to John Prine. His music touched me like no other. Thanks for sharing.

Saw John Prine in concert in the mid 70s and have been a fan ever since, so lucky to have gone to that concert
Great story but you gotta learn punctuation my friend
@gravy. Think punctuation would have bothered JP???

Touche pal 👌

"The greatest songwriter in this world and the next." - words and truth blended perfectly.
One of the best! Gotta put Dylan and Townes Van Zandt in that group as well
Too true.
@@blueriver4449 I'll put Dylan and John Denver in my Songwriters Hall of Fame
Who can give a thumbs down to John Prine?
They ate bad shrooms man
Smh
Unbelievable
They don't play guitars. They have no idea !!
@@bobmaynard3589 I love shrooms
Yo mama
I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Prine in '78. What you see and hear onstage is the humble genius he was offstage. RIP John

John sure has some great tunes, and he sure can pick a guitar makes it talk to you. Sadly missed.
The lyrics are genius but what he does with two fingers on his right hand is amazing.
Never get tired of that song.
That's a pretty early one, thanks
One of the first Prine songs I ever got to listen to. Fell in love with this live album.
Wonderful wonderful music from a wonderful musician! RIP John.

I seriously thought about the lyrics to this song and laughed my ass off about it,until i realized it was a perfect description of me and my tumultuous marriage at the time.
He was one of Bob Dylan’s favorite. 😢
i love how everybody just shuts the fuck up and listens. (til the chorus) as it should be.
Fantastic as always. Keep up the great work. Maybe skip the Nike's in the video the next time you want to make a song about the evils of money 😂
John prine is the best song writers to ever live these are facts bur Bob Dylan was also great
Happy Enchilada!

Tribute song to John Prine by songwriter Dennis Callahan
"It's a happy enchilada" as one woman thought the line went. LOL

I knew John in high school.
