John Prine Interview | Austin City Limits

ACLTV's Terry Lickona speaks with John Prine about his latest album, Tree of Forgiveness.

[@TannerPetersonMusic]

Rest easy John, I'm 21 years old and I discovered your music as a teenager. Absolutely heartbroken to hear about the news of your passing, although I'm still very grateful to have come across your music so early while you were still alive.

[@janetpouncy8410]

John Prine you were an amazing human being and left all of us with beautiful songs that can connect all of us. Thank you. Your music will live forever.

[@etheroar6312]

Loved your songs for over 45 years. I'd like to keep hearing you singing new songs for another 45. Also, "Can't write about the new president without turning it into a rant." Solid gold.

[@sup393]

Prayers for a full recovery

[@Happy2BUp]

John is the kindest human I have been blessed to hear speak. I’ve listened to hours and hours of his interviews. I’ve never heard him speak an unkind mean phrase of another person. “The current president is just too big a character to say anything.” I close my eyes and listen for hours to my John prine playlist and smile. Thank you, John, for your gentle spirit that touches our souls. I will never stop listening to your talented genius put to music.

[@randyalexander1279]

I'm sorry!

[@marciah0312]

Fly high, John. Loved you so much for years and I cried buckets of tears when you left us...just plain heartbroken. Love and peace to your family 💙

[@hope_canyon]

Ive been teaching myself to record to tape. His description of the process is bang on; its only when you have a whole swag of standalone songs that they start to fit together. He was a cool guy

[@janicefaucher2700]

Now I understand why his music resonates so much with me at just discovering him prior to his passing. His songs TOUCH ONE'S SOUL, thus he's called The Spiritual Godfather. Blessings💕

[@MrPopeye776]

John Prine there’ll never be another like him. Was and always will be number 1

[@LarryMcLarnon]

A wonderful and beautiful man.l never tire of hearing him singing and talking. Larry.

[@jimplper7969]

Rest in peace John. You were always young at heart you never grew old that's why young people loves you so much. You'll be missed that your music lives on. God bless you. And those that you touched and helped along the way will continue with the music that you started will pass on to another generation.

[@ctruthtoday]

Thank you for sharing your music. RIP

[@99redhairyplants]

I have only cried about the deaths of two people who I never met - this man was one of them, the other was Robin Williams

[@sunbearavrigian5044]

[@SpinDoctor91]

RIP John :(

[@toddcagle4245]

Wonder what he would think of the administration now. I loved the man’s music but celebrities will never wake up and realize that the politics in this country from either side of the aisle is not going to help the average American unless they are part of a special interest group

[@NKellyMullen]

Saw John perform many times..his politics were questionable but he could sure turn a lyric.

[@oitsamy]

RIP
