What a damn shame.... He was a good one.
BUMMER...DOUBLE BUMMER!
I met him once about 25 years ago, and saw him in concert several times over the years. One of Kind, and an incredible song writer.
RIP John.?ÿ
@loyal Ya, flew him out fishing once. Was an honor, had been listening to his music for most of my life.
I was hoping he'd turn the corner. ???
I saw him here last October.?ÿ He had me in tears during several numbers.

John Prine song list
I worked all day in the field and most of the evening here on the screen without ever reading the news.?ÿ I just now read this post.?ÿ I'm brokenhearted.?ÿ The world will never be as bright of a place as it was with John.?ÿ ????ÿ
When I get to heaven I'm gonna be listening for the music.?ÿ That's where you'll find me.
Illegal Smile has been my ear worm the last few days. A good one for sure.
I can remember buying Prine's self titled album with Your Flag Decal Won't Get You to Heaven at Korvettes in Paramus; not too many albums are remembered like that. It was one of those albums that was played over and over, with the songs getting better with more listening.
He was a very talented artist. I am glad he has been part of my life.

Mr. Harris - I replied before I realized your post gives us the whole album - thank you!

A sad day in music...
RIP Mr Prine, you've touched so many lives; your music will live forever?ÿ
Two of my favorite song writer musicians, Townes Van Zandt and John Prine, were lost recently.?ÿ The world is a little colder for their loss.?ÿ Neither could sing worth a hoot but they sure wrote some great music.?ÿ RIP John, we'll miss you.

I'm reminded of the words that Robbie Robertson wrote in a song: "Just take what need and leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best.."
I have enjoyed John Prine since the early 70s and find it impossible to say there is a favorite song of his, so I chose a link that includes 274 of his songs.
Sad to hear. 73 is too young. But you have to admit he looked every single minute of it.?ÿ
@norman-oklahoma I believe he had at least two bouts of cancer that he beat. I noticed that he looked and sounded dramatically different the past few years and wondered if his cancer battles were the reason.
