I’m 60 years old. Lifelong Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Leonard Cohen , Chris Smithers , etc fan. So how, how, oh my god how is it that I never heard of John Prine until yesterday? I will never have time on this earth to adequately grasp and appreciate the depth and beauty of this miraculous artists work. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me.

[@iTsSeCrEtPerDuE]

I'm 24, 25 this coming July. When I was 11 my mom met a guy. A long, long story short, the only good thing to come from it is our love for certain music now, Prine being one of them. I am so grateful to have his music, it has helped me through a lot of tough times. He has such beautiful and deep words, and the perfect personality to go with it all.

Interesting how in his later years he’s got a Bob Dylan rasp, compared to his earlier sound. Oh well, even with the hell that he went through with his health in the last 20 years, it still didn’t rob his voice of character. I’ve only just discovered his work but how could I have never known it for all these years? It’s like someone turned the lights on in my head and said, ‘Hello in there!’

[@jaykaysr9225]

I was operating the board when John was interviewed by Bob Edwards at XM. When the interview was over and Bob left the room, John hung around and we began to chat. There was no one else in the studio. When he learned my son was a Marine stationed in Iraq, John picked up on my concern for my son's well being. The next 30 minutes I spent with him talking and listening are very precious to me. I was a huge fan before we met but I'll alway remember this wonderful man for his kindness and compassion.

I miss my dad so much, and John Prine reminded me so much of him in his joy and fun. Prine was truly a national treasure as an artist and as a human being.

And you realize how fragile life is, and how lucky we have been to live in such great years for music. My friends and I have been playing Prine songs for almost 50 years. And it's impossible to ever replace a guy like John. His wit and compassion, and the way he can evoke such deep raw emotion with a couple of lines of lyrics, he was one of a kind! Yes I cried too... But I take solace in knowing he's having that vodka and giner ale, and the cigarette that's nine miles long, surrounded by friends and family in Heaven.

I must have watched this 100 times. Gets better and better. Love JP.

[@depewdriller]

You can have all the stadium and arena shows and festivals you want. I will take a small space performance like this 10/10 times. Just a magnificent show.

[@christophersheppard1747]

I am the same age as John, grew up with him, just in another country. I love him more every time I play this, tears always flow. Can't wait to get to heaven, maybe, just maybe, I can get a guest spot in his band.....God willing.

[@cornelisooms6525]

Will meet you both there. Christopher.❤

[@dlevass2003]

You can see the joy in their eyes watching and listening to John, you can see sadness too. RIP John.

[@fenwayify]

This is absolutely lovely. I don't know if I've ever seen two more gentle and genuine souls sitting in the same room as John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot. The image of Gordon smiling and singing along as he savors John's music is as sweet as it gets. This whole scene, especially hearing my all-time favorite song, "Summer's End," reaches deep inside me...filling me with nothing but peace, love and gratitude...

[@peterchristodolos3511]

i grew upin Gary, and. lived in the Chigo metro area all my life, and with John starting out in Chicago, I can't fivure out how i never heard of John prine. I'm 71 now and somehow stumbled across a segment with JOHN PRINE, and I've been enjoying listening to him all througb my day!!! I hope John lives to be 100 years old, so I can listen for all his new songs !

[@htidas]

Gordon Lightfoot singing along w/ 'Far From Me' is beautiful.

[@sequoyahkearns8505]

John Prine knew he was great. It didn't matter what his voice did. He knew he was a master at his craft. What a wonder. What a joy to listen to.

[@sharongilmour3144]

John was a great songwriter with an eternal take on daily life--an every- man for our times with a heart as big as the World. Gone too soon, but I'm grateful for every minute he was here. I"m sure he's rockin' with the angels!!🎸😇🎵

[@RichMiller-up3ff]

Never been one like him and never will❤️

[@karenhall-gist6966]

I fell in love with John's music when I heard his first album at a record store in Kansas City & I bought it on the spot & took it home & listened to it over & over. Sam Stone ripped my heart out. I''m 73 now & I had a lot of friends who went to Vietnam I lost a lot them in Vietnam & I lost many more to the drugs they took to try to forget the physical & mental pain from the war. John sang their story so well. He expressed loss, pain & humor in his songs. I also loved Please Don't Bury Me & lots more.. His concerts were huge highlights of my life! I've loved him for 50 yrs & still do. .

[@jimneuman8785]

Thank you for reaching out sister. Please don't bury me is a masterpiece.

".......You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness. You're out there runnin' just to be on the run". Only John Prine can deliver the mail like that.

That looks like GORDON LIGHTFOOT sitting there - humming along. The LAST TIME I saw him - in person - was in THE VILLAGE CORNER club in Toronto, in 1965. I used to see him all the time there. I've ALWAYS LOVED GORDIE. IT'S so GOOD TO SEE HIM. Hold on - I just remembered the last time ACTUALLY that I saw him was at his house in Rosedale at his CHRISTMAS PARTY. GOD BLESS YOU GORDIE!.

Never heard of John Prine before my son and Daughter in law chose “In Spite of Ourselves” for their 1st dance. I’m so happy they did…❤

[@anilkapahi8788]

The world that was worth living in died with John Prine but his music will always be a reminder of that world. The world that many people live in now is a complete mystery to me.

John was always an old soul. It's fitting that he has reached perfection in his old age.

When I heard that John Prine had died from it, I knew that covid was truly terrible. You are missed Mr. Prine. RIP

[@ClydeHUC]

Wake up he didn't die from COVID. He was infected with it when he died from cancer. So they call that a COVID death. Wake up either ignorant or liberal or both. Liberal or both.

[@tonymorris8789]

Have you ever been in church and the preacher is preaching a sermon and it feels like he knows something you did last night and he is preaching right at you? Prine's lyrics give you that same feeling.

[@FixNewsPlease]

Thank you. You've said what I've been trying to say for days.

He cuts to the core and makes us feel better for not being the only ones confused/hurt/jealous/ amused and so many other feeelings.....smile for John, it's all he ever really wanted.

Tony Morris well said. You my friend captured it entirely.

[@epete1372]

Tony, how right you are....he's the preacher all of us need. The "happier" the John Prine song, the deeper I knew the lyrics would be and the closer I would listen. He exemplified what it means to be an "artist" in everything he did.

[@tygulick]

John Prine is real, fearless, purely transparent and kind. A living legend. I have deep admiration!

“If not, the song will be over before you know it” is such a perfect representation of John Prine’s music, just see what you think
