    The first time I saw him was at Oak Mountain Amphitheater in B'ham Al in about 1977 or 1978. Misting rain, sitting on the wet grass listening to Prine is one of my best memories.

    John Prine is an amazing singer / songwriter who has been praised by many musicians, including Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Roger Waters.

    In 2009, Bob Dylan told The Huffington Post that Prine was one of his favorite writers, stating "Prine's stuff is pure Proustianexistentialism. Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs. I remember when Kris Kristofferson first brought him on the scene. 'Sam Stone' featuring the wonderfully evocative line: 'There’s a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, and Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose.' All that stuff about "Sam Stone," the soldier junkie daddy, and "Donald and Lydia", where people make love from ten miles away. Nobody but Prine could write like that."

    Johnny Cash, in his autobiography Cash, wrote, "I don't listen to music much at the farm, unless I'm going into songwriting mode and looking for inspiration. Then I'll put on something by the writers I've admired and used for years--Rodney Crowell, John Prine, Guy Clark, and the late Steve Goodman are my Big Four..."

    Roger Waters, when asked by Word Magazinein 2008 if he heard Pink Floyd's influence in newer British bands like Radiohead, replied, "I don't really listen to Radiohead. I listened to the albums and they just didn't move me in the way, say, John Prine does. His is just extraordinarily eloquent music—and he lives on that plane with Neil Young and Lennon."

    Man, I wish I had made more effort to go see him perform when had the chance. Amazing musician!

    NPR has a music segment called Tiny Desk where they do a studio concert and interview. Prine was on there this past yr. He's a very humorous guy as is some of his music.

    DamnYankee and I did have some epic threads arguing with each other. I think we sort of made peace.

    He was not the reason I stopped posting in Current Events and other forums.
