j45nick Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 A great one is gone. Thank the universe we had him for 73 years, and we will have his music forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So sad to hear this news. It kind of gave me the chills when I first heard he was ill with this virus. With all the health problems he’s fought for years, I guess he was kind of a prime candidate. His writing is so damn good that it’s irritating to think how few people know of him, aside from folks like us. He is a true legend with all the talent and natural mojo and charisma that goes with it. He was a really good human and the world is a lesser place without him. I listen to “Hello in There” (as just one example) and then I want to punch these new country hick-hop a-holes in mouth......Anyway, there won’t be another Prine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 John had a great career and many fans. He was respected in every genre, and by all writers. He made it past three score plus 10. He did what he loved for a living, so he never worked a day in his life. I'll not mourn his death, I'll celebrate his life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) I've watched the tiny desk concert a few times over last couple of days...this song really stuck.I had a go at a cover. He was still writing the highest quality songs in his latter years. This from 2018 album The Tree of Forgiveness.
