John Prine, Sam Stone

John Prine at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Nashville, Tennessee with Peter Cooper on April 19, 2014

[@barryfohn4385]

Mr Pine has had an enormous effect on me for the last 38 years or so. People who favor his work, myself included, are part of a fading breed. I particularly enjoy meeting a Prine fan for the first time while strumming and having a few. I've had the pleasure of seeing him in a few different states. So remember...if your walking down the street sometime....and spot some hallow ancient eyes, please don't just pass 'em by and stare..... as if you didn't care....just say hello in there.......Hello!

Thank You John Prine, I was given a record of you when I came home from CU-CHI Vietnam in 1970. I thought there was something wrong with me because I was the only one crying to Sam Stone (Thanks for uploading this.)

[@JoshMorningstar]

brad Kennett John Prine's first record, "John Prine" didn't come out until 1971.

[@opses546]

I think you're trying to jump the gun on being pedantic there bud. He said he came come in 1970, nowhere in his post did he state that he was listening to it in 1970. Just a thought!

[@brendamyers7019]

Cried when Johnny sang it in 87, crying today in 2020. God Bless those hurting, may this be the year you are Free. 2020.

[@susanallen1929]

I fell in love with him when I was 15. 40 years later I am still in love - and always will be.

[@SuperFrankles]

John Prine is a wonderful American poet and writer. God Bless you John. We all love you so much. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@bondman21]

I probably listen to John more than any other singer nowadays. God bless you John, keep well.

[@Mr1hal]

I was so lucky to see john prime in London many years ago what a guy makes me smile laugh and cry God bless you john

[@MrGandharva108]

Thank you John...God Bless you. I saw you in the early 80's in New Brunswick, NJ. During one of your songs, the all the lights went out in the theater..for about 60 seconds. When the lights came back on, you said...."Thank God...I thought I was going blind". I nearly fell out of my seat laughing. You're the best, A fan.

Peter Cooper did a great job interviewing John Prine. Thank you do very much for making this video and sharing it so that folks like me can feel like we are right there in the audience.

[@judyarmstrong3368]

Thank you John.There is no laughter in your sincerity. Don't go softly into that good night?Peter behind my Judy who will always Respect you John and your gift to my world.

[@aaronvedock458]

Great Song !

[@lycanzephy202]

ive been at the bottom of bottomless lake and sam stone said it would be o.k.i made it back up and out, although my pick-up is still down there somewhere

[@emmerjay]

I met a lot of Sam Stones during and after Viet Nam....hits home!

[@hahagotchu]

god bless you JP

[@jeffrohio1]

I'm sure that Jesus didn't mind a little humor. I don't recall a song where Prine laughed at Jesus, but if he did, I'm sure that Jesus laughed with him. Jesus was all about atonement for the terrible trials of life.

[@josephcarpenter6921]

God bless Brou

[@opses546]

Beautiful rendition. His voice reminds me a little of Tom Waits.

[@dannycasey2832]

Sing Sam Stone!!!

[@kylemccormick4589]

“Like a great episode of M*A*S*H” is just about the perfect way to describe John Prine

[@aleph5411]

RIP

[@bobborgen6405]

Please - can we see all of this interview!!

[@PoppaBlue59]

Poor 'ol John is sure looking rough. I hate to see it.

[@opses546]

He looks like he's happy though, I think that's the main thing.

[@steatipygous]

He's still the same ole John to me, I love listening to his songs and stories. Remember he's had to deal with cancer in 1998 and 2013 and that takes it's toll. Looking forward to see him perform in National Concert Hall in Dublin Ireland on Monday August 13 2018(tomorrow).

[@marks926]

For a much better interview watch him and Sturgill...

[@drnantz]

Johnny Cash did Sam Stone version that will make you puke.

[@danapack40]

the interviewer needs work

[@song4night]

i dont like the song where he laughed at Jesus
