    As a Rocker, I was privileged to have a friend turn me on to John Prine in the late 70's. Changed my way of thinking, and to a degree my way of life. The song Souvenirs really hit me hard; the honesty, simplicity, and sadness of the lyrics haunt me to this day. The guitar playing, ( With Steve Goodman) just flows like a gentle stream, seamlessly intertwined with the singing. I've been very fortunate to have seen him live twice, and what I wouldn't do to go back to those times...

A friend of mine turned me onto his music back in the early ' 80s when we were working at a huge plant nursery. In the winter, we would be working in greenhouses that didn't have heat, just plastic covering the plants, so we would break out our flasks of homemade peach or apple brandy to keep us warm & sing John Prine songs at the top of our lungs!! Thank you, Marla for introducing me to John & thank you, John for the awesome music & good times that have come w/it!!!!

      I was fortunate to grow up outside Chicago where John played his first gig while working as a mail deliverer. He and Steve Goodman wrote songs that described our lives as kids growing up in the midwest US during the Vietnam War and Watergate. They both played in our local bars and on college campuses. He was our touchstone and just as he was being rediscovered, we lost him.

    I discovered him in 1975 or 76. I've listened to a wide variety of music from a young age, and picking an all time favorite was always something I said I couldn't really do, until recently. Not that I ever stopped listening to it for very long, but I've now revisited JP's music at several stages of my life, and I kind of decided recently that I can say he is probably my all time favorite artist. He is absolutely a treasure. Glad you discovered him. My life would not be as rich without his music.

      Don't get me wrong. I love John Prine and I've never heard a bad song written by him. You obviously have like a lot of people quit Dylan at various times of his career. Prine has songs allot better than this. This song reminds me of Dylan's Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Just messing around . I don't know you but listen to Rough and Rowdy and Tempest. Dylans last few albums. Sam Stone would be a Prine song as well as many others that can set you back in tears.
      Prine is a super song writer and enjoys talking to his fans. And will hang out and sign auto graphs and bs after a show.
      Take the time and really listen to what Dylan is saying especially in his last 2 albums. The guy all but pulled the trigger on the recent Trump incident. He sang of pretty much what happened. The Titanic, the same. He's deep tho as is Prine, but no this song is a fun song even to Prine.
      Peace

    March 31, 2020 Is he still hanging on?
    Still in the hospital?
    I just want him to be without pain
    How ironic that a man who is so absolutely beloved to so many in such an incredibly special way much other than normal regular celebrities. He resides in the hearts and souls of so many people. We feel that we have been in an intimate friendship with him for so many years. We feel that we know him so well and likewise, he knows us a. How else could someone write songs that hit so very close to my (our) heart(s)? But how sadly ironic it is that he is lying in a hospital alone when so many thousands loved him so dearly. Universe, dear Universe please know how much JP is loved and if this awful virus takes him, let him transition knowing the joy and love he brought to this world.
