JOHN PRINE & RAMBLIN JACK ELLIOTT 1985

[@jh58]

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.

[@kurtcole9574]

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.

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.

Great lines like "I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve" from Spanish Pipedream.

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.

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!!!

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

[@walkertongdee]

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.

Ramblin Jack and John Prine... Bobby Bare. KZbin and the internet in general is much more blessing than curse.

[@mikkibaker883]

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"

I learned of Ramblin Jack during my Air Force days. I too tried college for a couple years, dropped out and followed the trail of woe and became a travelling folk singer till I saw the futility of that. Took up a career of trades in construction. Im now near broke, but retired and just plain tired. My fondest memory of Jack was in Missoula in a bar in October about '86 or so. He told a lot of stories I could relate to. We both are staring at the Reaper.

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 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.

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."

I remember early '60's AM radio Air Force recruitment shows (15 minutes, Sgt.Ted Schorr) at the ungodly hour of 2am. Schorr would speil, ask the entertainer a safe, inane question, the entertainer would respond and the singer's latest 45 would be cut in. Terrible show, except for the one featuring Bobby Bare. Bobby Bare charmingly sluffed the leading question aside, and clearly advocated for peace in 'nam before Schorr quickly queued "Detroit City". His appreciating folkie singer-songwriters is no surprise. I wish we had all the shows in this series!
