John Prine - "Six O'Clock News"

[@reddwing4368]

Thanks John I remember the first thing you ever taught us was that Forever s just another trip

“God bless this kitchen said the knick knack shelf”. That line has always given me chills.

While John may finally be at rest, he leaves a vacuum that will be hard, if not impossible, to fill. John has been our musical companion for almost 50 years - saying goodbye to Prine seems almost as hard as saying goodbye to my wife was. Smoke that 9 mile cigarette John, and then look down upon all of those you have left behind, and know that you were deeply, _deeply,_ loved. You will live on in the eternity of our national consciousness.*

Hoy, desde un chile un poco mejor que ayer, les saludo para reconocer en la poesía y música un genio para relatar la vida del día a día, la felicidad, la tristeza, la pobreza, la humildad y el poder soñar con la misericordia y orgullo para enfrentar la muerte.. Simple y Compleja es la herencia que heredamos de John Prine (simple porque disfrutamos su arte y compleja por como poder olvidarlo y resucitarlo). Saludos.

"As a child, a neighborhood kid who was always in trouble chose me for a friend. His brothers pushed him around a lot, and his mother generally ignored him. Years later as a teenager, still always in trouble, he ended up in Juvenile Court and the prosecutor decided to tell the court and my friend, that his father was his father, but his mother was his oldest sister. No wonder he was always in trouble". ~John Prine

[@kellyjoeraymusic]

Hey...I'm that kid...The kid with Three First Names...Kelly Joe Ray...Hey I don't just like this song...I LOVE IT...It needs a LOVE it button

[@Bass-n-Boom]

I don't understand the story in these verses...I mean, I think I understand about "Jimmy findin' a diary...then shootin' himself" I guess..? Is there Two different stories throughout the song?
