The song Sam Stone is perhaps the saddest yet the most authentic song for a generation soldiers that came home unwelcome by a country they was fighting to defend so they thought. So many great young men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice, so many of those that didn't, suffered terrible nightmares and drug addiction due to wounds and scars of battle. God Bless all military branches and thank you for my freedoms.
My friend Jerry Shields turned me on to John Prine back in 1973. I was blown away then and now by his beautiful songs. What a fine songwriter, singer, and guitar player. I miss him dearly. RIP John.
guys like him, john hiatt,gordon lightfoot,jackson browne,bruce cockburn ,tom waits,warren zevon,guy clarke,townes van zant and on and on,these are secret heros,they are out there,some have passed on,this is real music,higher art in 3 chords,makes me smile.....
I am gutted. I picked up the guitar in '71 and John Prine was on the rock station. I am 62 and have such a deep connection to this song. I am Canadian and John made me aware of the plight of the returning vets. RIP John-keep singing.♥
AWESOME MUSIC JOHN PRINE MY FRIEND!!! R.I.P. I STARTED LISTENING TO JOHN ABOUT 40 PLUS YEARS AGO!!! ME AND MY BUDDIES WOULD BE SIPPING ON A COLD ONE!! LOL. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON AFTER SO MANY YEARS I JUST GOT OUT OF LISTENING TO HIM I REGRET IT NOW!!! BUT ANYWAY I WAS JUST SCROLLING THRU MY TABLET ON YOU TUBE, AND SEEN HIM ON STAGE SO THEN I FOLLOWED HIM WHILE HE WAS ALIVE RIGHT TO THE END,AND IM STILL FOLLOWING HIM ON YOU TUBE NOW AFTER HIS PASSING!!! LOTSA HUGS TO ALL HIS FAMILY HE IS GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!
John Prine is a painfully gifted writer of concise lyrics and a master of twisting the written word, corkscrewing those lines into incomparably brilliant turns of phrase. Interviews like this should be forever preserved in the Smithsonian institution for human beings hundreds of years from now to observe and pay respects, as we do with Mozart & Shakespeare.
John Prine changed my life in '71. Unbelievable that I heard John on Toronto's _"Rock" FM stns._ That was back when the DJ's could play whatever great music they found. Zepplin AND Prine on the same FM station. RIP to the ever-humble mailman who never had a hit record but inspired millions. "There is a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes",,, Poetry like this changes you forever. ♥
John Prine had me with the first song of his I ever heard, "Spanish Pipedream". When I heard, "I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve", I said, "This is someone I need to pay attention to"! I did pay attention to him and got a lifetime of gifts in return. Of all those great lines, my favorite remains, "If heartaches were commercials, We'd all be on TV". He says really big things so simply and directly that you can't miss them. Perhaps the biggest gift he gave me was introducing us to Steve Goodman. "Souvenirs"
First heard John Prine in 1968 before I went to Vietnam, singing Dear Abbey and knew I had to get this gents albums. Later with so many of his songs memorized I had the opportunity to sit next to him at a workshop he was conducting near Yosemite, a true gent. Thanks for posting
Someone posted a video of a workshop with him called strawberry festival i think, from the 80s, if you haven't seen it yet, might see yourself in it! :)
Saw Ramblin Jack at The Bitter End, 1978... 2 couples eating burgers, and I was there for a private concert. He winked me a thank you, the only audience there.
My Lord what a beautiful thing to say - I was born in Ohio County KY , home or Mr Monroe and next to Mullenbergh - I love writing songs - I may have to use that one 🌹🎸🏇🌹
I played the same stages in Chicago his home town, he is from the suburb of Maywood The Earl, somebody else's troubles, old town. He was always nice to us not so successful musicians, no superior attitude just a friendly person. Whenever he came in I was one of the few who would dare to cover one of his songs in tribute I remember one time he walked past the stage on his way to the bathroom watched me play his song, made a stern face stared and then approvingly smiled the biggest smile you ever did see, made me feel great just remembering.
Been a fan since ‘75. Seen him about thirty times or so. Had the PLEASURE to meet him once. Introduced his music to everyone who’d listen. My phone blew up today. I’m so lucky but I’m so saaaaad.
This takes me back. Around the time this aired was when I became an instant fan of John while I was still in my single digit years. I still remember when I'd go on family vacations I wanted dad to take his John Prine tape and I'd sing along and I had that memorized to the point I knew exactly what song was coming up based on the notes in the final seconds of any given song. 30 some years later my love for his music has only grown exponentially. Probably more than any other music artist I can think of. I even got to see in Muhlenburg County last year which was awesome since Paradise is still one of my favorite songs of his.
That was beautifully put. " ...this clip is a moment in amber..." Thanks, from Toronto. Please, stay safe and demand more from your government. (I'd love the USA to flourish with 5 vibrant political parties...>sigh
Thank you. I wish normality, with all its warts, would return to our country. Five parties might be a disaster. The people living in the Foxhole reality would be permanently in charge.
So sad, another loss of an old friend. RIP John. Your words and stories and music are leading me to look back in time, for a while. So many songs, so many emotions. Too many of you are gone.
Back in 1970 Steve Goodman brought John to Cleveland. Steve was receiving treatment for Leukemia at Cleveland Clinic and John was a mailman/part-time musician. He played Sam Stone and he had me right there.. Everyone was playing City of New Orleans. He indulged me and taught me Turnpike Tom at a club called LaCav, owned by Ray Bruner.. I'll never forget it.
I am 62 up here in Toronto and this was a gem. And we truly are a blessed generation to hear him in the '70s and now, with TH-cam, we get a treasure like this-for free.
When I lived in Topanga Canyon during the late 1960s/70, Ramblin Jack Elliott would perform at the Corral and I got to see his performances-a true honor. RIP John Prine-sad sad news. Both so great.
John Prine is a mixture between Woody Guthrie and Mark Twain. He's a great storyteller and poet. He's very mesmerizing person , You can't take your eyes off of him and realize how fortunate you are too have two ears.
We are close in age, and I can recall the real fine days of "Old Town" Chicago. Those were unique times that molded me. I would go from North to the real Southside clubs, the only "white face" but I was there for the blues greats, and now and then, a beer would appear on my table--sometimes I'd get to be up front, watching Muddy and Buddy workin' up a real sweat with cool music.
Hearing Prine talk about Old Town, pretty much brings tears to my eyes. There was a stub of a street, more like an alley, called "Easy Street." At its dead end was a bar and even at 16, I could go to the bar and buy a beer. As long as I behaved, I could get them all night long. It was called , yes, "Easy Street." I would just walk in and out to the folk clubs, then back for a "brewski."
My wife and I were in Old Flagstaff in the mid 90's and saw that Ramblin' Jack was playing in a small club that evening. She had no interest in staying up late as it had been a long day but I went to see him. There was only about 10-12 people in the audience and the first song was "Old Shep". There wasn't a dry eye in the house when he finished. There was a rule at the time that stated a performer could not drink in the same establishment he was playing so on the break, he took all of us across the street for a shot of whiskey. True story.
I saw Ramblin Jack in Sitka Alaska about 40 years ago. I didn't even know who he was then but there's not a lot of live enterainment in Sitka so I went and I remember it didn't cost much .. and he did have a Dog with him so maybe its the same dog he was talking about. I do remember when I saw the name 'Ramblin Jack' I pictured him as an old black southern blues guy and I was surprised to see a white guy but boy was he ever great .. it was a real surprise that he was so good and everybody was talking about him for weeks afterwards/everyone really enjoyed his 'get together' ... that's what it felt like cause there were only about 30 or 40 people there.
This was an amazing show. Bobby Bare was very progressive to have , John Prine and Ramblin' Jack on his show... what an ear for talent and folk guys outside the commercial country circuit... Good for Bobby Bare, and great performances. A step back in time... but not too far back.
If u understand or recognize great music you’ll appreciate these guys to the N’th degree …. All great art is timeless especially mediums like painting…. These guys were able to create a dynamic in their medium , (Music) which is unequaled and unique to their individual personality ….. we are blessed they have been among our midst for such a prolonged period in our history ….. we must be grateful …. The power of artistic expression is a gift from God ….
shane sawyer Just found the interview 4-13-2020 - the world shut down sorta - this is calming and loving to me too. Thank You for Sayin That. Precious Interview. These Guys Were Ahead of Their Time - Time Travelers....♥️🌎♥️🌍♥️🌏♥️🙏♥️🦋♥️🦄
Had never heard of Mr Prine till 2 days ago when CNN said he had died. After listening to 2 of his songs I am totally hooked on the man. Simply Great !!!
How wonderful. I am 62 and John came out with this song in '71. I _heard him on the rock stations!_ FM radio DJ's could play Zepplin AND John Prine. John Prine (and Dylan, Knopfler and Neil Young would never have made it on American Idol!) It is tragic that an entire generation is listening to corporate crap. Auto-tune and sampling. You get what you pay for folks.
@@jmmacb03 I'm also 62. Saw John Prine & Steve Goodman in Seattle at the Moore Theatre in the 70s... You are so right about music. There are boatloads of great songwriters out there that we never get to hear. It's a tragedy. SOMEONE should do SOMETHING about it ... but I'm not sure what.
After listening to our friend John for nearly 50 years I'll truly miss him. Thankfully we have his music to fall back on. He first got my attention in the sixties,with his hit Sam Stone. See ya on the other side my old friend.
i fell in love with John Prine in 1974 over a wood stove, no electricity, cant recall the name of the young man with the guitar singing Christmas in Prison. Have seen him at every opportunity and still dream of meeting him. I adore him.
LiZa 1974 was the first time I heard him also. I was working a Camp job on the East slopes of the Canadian Rockies and this young feller pulled out an acoustic guitar and started playing John Prine. Have been a fan ever since and wishing him the best.
WOW. Thanks for posting! I've been hearing about RJE for decades but didn't even know what he looked like. You can add Keith and Mick to his list of fans, too.
Ah man! Listening to Johnny for almost 5 decades but never got to see him in concert until TV Austin City Limits in the '90s. So young here. Thanks for posting!
a favorite memory: seeing Ramblin Jack in the bar of the Driscoll Hotel in Austin (he performed at the Jerry Jeff Walker Birthday Bash that year) grab a lariat from the wall and rope a gal's ankle as she was walking by. Managed to get a picture of it and it still makes me laugh when I think of it. Good memories.
John: "Well, lot of people aren't sure why they call him Ramblin' Jack. He is well traveled, but that's not the reason they call him that." Bobby Bare: "Why do they call him that?" John: "I don't believe I've ever heard him finish a story."
Thanks for sharing this....upload. I never saw this... I guess I was busy back then. I met him twice. He's the most down to earth...kindest man. He even signed my guitar.
Cool show. Laid back, everyone is so comfortable it would be great to hang out with those guys. And Bobby's band Pullybone is a talented group of musicians. Loved the show, thanks for posting.
Rest in Peace John Prine. 04.07.20 The damn COVID-19 got the best of you. You're a legendary musician. Your song's will last for Eternity . Peace, love and prayers go out to you J.P. Thanks for all your great lyrics. Been crying, smoking ,drinking and dancing to all your tunes since to the news came down. ✌💞🎸🎶🌹🙏 KEH 🇨🇦
Two great musicians from a fantastic Era ,that i was privileged to live in, and participate ps i two saw Rramblin Jack about a year ago ,and was able to talk in a meet and great, He is still as good as ever and agreat rstory teller
I just met Ramblin Jack Elliott in Winnamucca, NV. He's still pick'n and ramblin on with his stories. What an honor it was to see him play. He has other gigs going on that you can see him in very intimate venues. Check out his website.
So many of the comments gave me a smile and a tear..in my 72 years I've been fortunate enough to have been at many ranches,festivals, rodeo's, FAIRS,Villages,Grange halls,Taverns, Cellars& Bars Music was always why I was there I've been blessed to be in the presence of all those on the show & many more. Yet in these crazy times We ALL gather again, ✌💖🎼🎵🎶
The song Sam Stone is perhaps the saddest yet the most authentic song for a generation soldiers that came home unwelcome by a country they was fighting to defend so they thought.

The three cord comment is debatable
"Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios".
Say a prayer for John and Fiona. We need our friend more than ever now.
100perdido AMEN.
RIP John Prine. Thanks for the music.

One of the most inspiring musicians of the 20th century.
Unfortunately almost nobody will understand that.

Interviews like this should be forever preserved in the Smithsonian institution for human beings hundreds of years from now to observe and pay respects, as we do with Mozart & Shakespeare.
Great lines like "I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve" from Spanish Pipedream.
I'm hung up on I turned the key at 8:03 and the battery passed away that and Tyler Childers with his higher than the grocery bill. Just brilliant
I think they have plans to do that. American history and music.
though surely missed, he ain't gone, he is a hero for now and for forever...
Damn straight!
Songs written and sang by John prine have always squeezed my heart so hard it aches!!!
Well, then I have to recommend this amazing tribute by Carsie Blanton. Keep the tissues handy.

Rest in paradise, John. We'll miss you, but you'll live on forever in your songs and in our memories. RIP ❤️
Dang has become damn, and not the Rochester Dam. May his ashes float down the Green River, halfway to heaven with Paradise waiting.
I've grown up with his music. I couldn't have become a thinking adult without his help. That's not to say I'm wonderful, but he sure is!
biggestkkfan 😥😥😥😥😥
Rest In Peace, John! We'll all love you forever for your incredible songwriting abilities to make us laugh and cry! Bless you forever!
Oh yeah he mad me laugh about drinking and cry about my grandpa loved him rest well
Every time I hear a John Prine song It's a ticket to happiness

Just saw he has COVID and pneumonia not looking good...
Cool story. Hope you’re doing great these days...
Very lucky person to have had time around John Prine. Most people could only dream that scenario. Hope you are good. All the best from swindon U.K
Had the privilege to see Ramblin’ Jack open for John P at the Folsom 3 Stages in 2015. It was awesome!
Been a fan since ‘75. Seen him about thirty times or so. Had the PLEASURE to meet him once. Introduced his music to everyone who’d listen. My phone blew up today. I’m so lucky but I’m so saaaaad.

Rest in peace John Prine. Thanks for 40 plus years of tears and laughter. This Handsome Johnny is for you!
I toured with Prine in 1975, and we had a great weekend with Jack Elliot in D.C. during that tour, with Leon Redbone too!
Thanks for sharing that story... those were the good ol days 😉
We all miss John, but let's remember and say thanks to the living legend Ramblin Jack.
"When Jesus comes to claim us, and says it is enough, the diamonds will be shining , no longer in the rough" RIP John
Ain’t it funny how an old broken looks just like a Diamond ring!

This is great! John Prine is still singing in concert, but this clip is a moment in amber, John Prine in his prime. Beautiful!
That was beautifully put. " ...this clip is a moment in amber..." Thanks, from Toronto. Please, stay safe and demand more from your government. (I'd love the USA to flourish with 5 vibrant political parties...>sigh
Thank you. I wish normality, with all its warts, would return to our country. Five parties might be a disaster. The people living in the Foxhole reality would be permanently in charge.
I feel like I lost a best friend. RIP John Prine. I hope your ashes are in the Green River soon.
I was looking forward to seeing John at Jazzfest this year, then the Fest got cancelled thanks to Coronavirus, and then the virus took him also.
So sad.
John died today at 73. A great loss!
Yeah it's rocked me to my cowboy boots.
The loss of a great troubadour for sure.
His music will last an Eternity.

John is just totally adorable and a genius with his words!!!❤
Just cant say enough about the Times with John Prine. Thank u sir from a redhead from Dickson ,Tn. Peggy Welker
I have always admired the mans' genius for crafting words. One of my all time favorite lines will always be: "Naked as a clowns eyes".
"Naked as the eyes of a clown".
Off cigarette's for two years and still miss them like mad.
When John lit one just now, I wished I had one nine miles long
You better still be clean now Jimmy! don't forget John got throat cancer too.
RIP John Prine.
I've met jack and I saw John three times at small venues but I never got to shake his hand. Maybe I will sometime. RIP John.

Ah man! Listening to Johnny for almost 5 decades but never got to see him in concert until TV Austin City Limits in the '90s. So young here. Thanks for posting!
I love John so much. He saved my life on the verge of despair
Man changed my life, Love forever John, Steve Goodman, T.P., B.S.,N.Y.,G.J.,Prince.
a favorite memory: seeing Ramblin Jack in the bar of the Driscoll Hotel in Austin (he performed at the Jerry Jeff Walker Birthday Bash that year) grab a lariat from the wall and rope a gal's ankle as she was walking by. Managed to get a picture of it and it still makes me laugh when I think of it. Good memories.
Cool! I'd love to see that picture...nudge nudge

Missy M, you get that picture and let us have a laugh too!! Love to see Jack and Mayhan ..."Cowboyed all to Hell"

Jack must be about 94?
Great stories. I miss John Prine
John: "Well, lot of people aren't sure why they call him Ramblin' Jack. He is well traveled, but that's not the reason they call him that."
Bobby Bare: "Why do they call him that?"
John: "I don't believe I've ever heard him finish a story."
Thanks for sharing this....upload. I never saw this... I guess I was busy back then. I met him twice. He's the most down to earth...kindest man. He even signed my guitar.
Thank you so much for
this ever so precious
recording!!🙂
Whoever posted this, THANK YOU. Made my day
how wonderful - takes me back to better days
I wish that every interview went as smooth as this!
Nobody quite cheers me up like John Prine . He's great recorded, but if you've never seen him live , go do it before he's gone !
What a great show! 3 greats
As a twelve year old Aussie i heard Christmas in prison; I am 58 now thank you for the rest !
Cool show. Laid back, everyone is so comfortable it would be great to hang out with those guys. And Bobby's band Pullybone is a talented group of musicians. Loved the show, thanks for posting.
John Prine and Ramblin Jack sure do bring back some good ole memories in my mind.
Every young America should listen to this story.
Absolutely awesome. Prine is fantastic and Elliot was tremendous. Very influential to more people than they'll ever realize.
RIP John...been with you since the first.
Rest in Peace John Prine.

Wow, what a great interview. I just like listening to John Prine talk😸
I just met Ramblin Jack Elliott in Winnamucca, NV. He's still pick'n and ramblin on with his stories. What an honor it was to see him play. He has other gigs going on that you can see him in very intimate venues. Check out his website.
RIP John. Now you can have that cig and eat some eggs and drink a Handsome Johnny! God bless and see ya after a bit.
I hope he is still smoking that 9 mile long cigarette.
That's the best I've ever heard that song sound (Prine). Spanish Pipe Dreams
Band for Ramblin Jack Elliott TOP Notch! Enjoyed the interview by Bobby Bare.
i first saw prine in 72 at the msu playhousr lansing michigan. sam stone introduced us.
i just love JP ! what a funny fun guy. Always spot on insight into people
So many of the comments gave me a smile and a tear..in my 72 years I've been fortunate enough to have been at many ranches,festivals, rodeo's, FAIRS,Villages,Grange halls,Taverns, Cellars& Bars
Music was always why I was there
I've been blessed to be in the presence of all those on the show & many more. Yet in these crazy times
We ALL gather again, ✌💖🎼🎵🎶
John always seems to be smiling.
