Happy Enchilada?... by the legendary John Prine 2017

[@toddcuster3557]

This genius had so much gold inside of him that he shared it without losing it. He will be sorely missed.

[@mundrubjet]

I agree with you...It is a shame that this great man is almost unheard of in the mainstream. They could use a man like him... Especially now brother... Ol Sarge...

[@agod5608]

I never knew him

[@craigchastain7016]

A funny bard. I pay my respects to the mailman from Maywood!

[@craigchastain7016]

How time may seem stagnant yet move so fast. The guy beat cervical cancer and then SARS moves in...

[@virginialawler7725]

@@agod5608 Well.... You have a 2nd chance! Easily, for a start, because of so much of his wonderful music is available on many You Tubes. I was introduced to him by a friend since school, a vet and the godfather of our only son. It was "Sam Stone," years ago, then, "I Remember Everything." Every piece has been, and still is, a favorite, for his musical talent and his humor, too. You won't be disappointed. Best wishes for happy listening and viewing. @NotMeUs

[@toregister8615]

It actually upsets me that anyone could possibly give anything "John Prine" a thumbs down. Big freakin' thumbs up from me. Lucky me has seen John perform live, twice. He's such a funny guy. I would love to burn one with John Prine too.

[@TheBoogerhead]

People who give thumbs down to something like this are just attention-seeking losers who get some feeling of being rebels.

[@terryballard4674]

probably Justin Bieber fans...

[@DG-iw7lw]

There are a lot of sad and clueless people

[@lindabingham394]

me too and i dont even burn em!!!

[@aov3000]

I know! "Thumbs down?" What's up with that? Wish I'd seen him live. We had tickets for the summer of 2019, but he took a couple of weeks off the tour for surgery, and had to reschedule the show. Then Covid hit, and then he up and died. Rest in Music, John.

[@bweags4194]

His smile is so precious and genuine. Rest In Peace John. The world loves you.

[@karenstepp669]

That is so well said. I was kinda thinking the same thing as I watched this but didn't know how to say it. He was DEFinitely precious. 🤗

I am a Dylan, Neil Young, child of the 60's fan. Go back further. You name it in music terms. Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives, Pete Seeger...I have only just discovered this Gentleman since he passed away. I have some catching up to do. How did I miss this ? A wonderful man, with the anecdotes. Thank you John Prine.

[@kdgetz7783]

Steve Ellis900 Enjoy the Catching Up. He’s worth every second

[@pegscarberry3188]

Me too, but I'm so loving listening to his wonderful music now. Xx

[@karenstepp669]

The same for me. I had heard of him because my mom really loved his music. When he passed away I listened to one of his songs and I was like "Wow!" I'm a big Miranda Lambert fan too but didn't realize she had done any of John's songs. He was a class act all the way. Absolutely precious.

[@williecarroll3610]

I hear you bro I'm doing the same thing I'm just glad it didn't get by us

[@debbiemadden4372]

[@janasprout2141]

In beauty, had the privilege of listening to this fine man for an hour and 20 minutes In Farmington NM in 76 or 77... He played a 1500 seat venue. He was on a rocky mtn "tour" Found out he was playing the same night he played?! No advertising, no radio stations even played his incredible music!!? Maybe 30 or 40 people finally stagger in .. He come out set down at the piano and played till I cried! Never again will this happen,😢 He set down played his opening song finished, turned to the "crowd" and said if no more than two of you came to hear my music, I would play! Go in Beauty!!

[@Hollcall]

Saw John twice in my lifetime. So enjoyed both times. I left the CCU early to go see Him. Told the Dr. "you have to let me out...........have tickets for John Prine tonight. " Hahahahaha...so glad I went. HE WAS SUPER GREAT. That was in 2003.............still enjoying Him R.I.P. Mr. Prine.

[@ronlennox985]

John was always a great story teller right from his early days as a musician. Those same words created story songs that we all enjoy. And that famous strum. Oh how I miss him. R.I.P. John. Thanks for this treasure, Tommy.

[@nickalina]

John makes me laugh and cry with nearly every song.

I am so glad that I got to see John in Philadelphia on his last tour. The show was great and then we lost him. He was an American Treasure. I just wish that I had found his music earlier in my life.

[@johnburnett3432]

JP was more than a singer-songwriter. He was the Everyman poet laureate, a MarkTwain-level humorist and a bonafide American national treasure. The pandemic robbed us of a few years more of his unvarnished brilliance.

[@yvonneshively6353]

John was such a gift. What a wonderful man.😢

[@jameslockatf3468]

John Prine Would laugh at a thumbs down vote, he'd say I know my singing voice before the throat cancer surgery and after. The surgery didn't improve my singing voice. We loved John for the stories he told us. Not everyone likes John but for those of us who do a big.Thumbs Up.

Absolute best guitar method and story teller on the face of the earth. Thank you, John... See you when we shake God's hand...Ol Sarge...(and get a swell hotel room)...

[@nolan8336]

How privileged we all are to have lived in his time. A unique, gifted song writer and story teller, that performs like he's siting round the kitchen table with a few buddy's. Tears, grateful joy, and sadness are the emotions felt now to your music, but thank god we'll always have your music. RIP John 🙏,from Ireland. 💚.

[@edfulginiti8798]

JP is an American treasure.

[@DG-iw7lw]

A world without John Prine is sad indeed. There can be only one.

[@seleneluz1006]

As heartbroken as when my dog died, it feels so deeply painful. All he ever wanted to do was make us laugh 'in spite of ourselves.' I'm writing a lot since he went away and calling it, John Prine and Corona. I think he'd like being attached to a wo-man with such a pretty name. Enjoy heaven, John, and thanks for being our friend all these years.

[@karenstepp669]

That's a beautiful tribute to him.

[@shawnhayden6674]

Tears swell up in my eyes when John sings and tells lovely stories. My dad raised me on John Prine, going fishing, playing cards, drinking, I'd say John Prine was high in them ranks and forever will be...The man can not be diluted.

[@karenrouth2056]

John looks SO happy during this... but then again, he usually does when he's on stage.... I'm feeling so sad xx

@@karenstepp669 Then you obviously never heard "Flag Decal" his antiwar song. He wrote it during the Vietnam War (he served in Germany) and then retired it for about 30 years.

[@qkranarchist3015]

Oh, Caleb. I'm sorry. I'm with you. I miss him so much too. His sudden covid illness & passing was devastating and was also around many other devastating things that month for me & my family--plus worse stuff later in the year. I couldn't get over being so knocked down by John's passing so suddenly (after just seeing him in November!). I was able to start listening again recently as just listening (not part of grief processing). Feeling good to enjoy again and I think I just need to know that these songs now have that added element of poignant loss. It's okay, that's the way the world goes round.
