    We used to ride around with John Prine drinking beer and smoking pot and we always had a damn good time. He'd tell us stories and sing us songs and point out places and things we'd never done or seen before. The jokes and humor was killer too once we got started we would laugh till we cried because it got to hurting after awile. Then we would just sit quiet awhile as the miles rolled by just looking out the window soaking it all in.
    The Missing Years was a great album but the one that came after that, Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings blew me away. From the banks of old Lake Marie to the picture of him at the graveyard with that look and his smile, I know something you don't know. All I knew was the same thing happened to me. I love John Prine to me finding his music was like being out at sea and everything was dark, pitch black and then when all hope seemed lost this light appeared and a voice started singing pure and true. Songs that sounded like home and easy to sing along with. His concerts were like a family reunion vast and diverse bringing genuinely good down to earth people together from all walks of life. A lot of tears fell when he left us and still do even now. We're living in dangerous times at the moment and people are going to have to decide if they're going to live in a world of doom and gloom and be ruled by a Despot who won't ever let them be free or take the advice of our brother John Prine and just,
    Blow up your TV
    throw away your paper
    move to the country
    and build you a home.
    Plant a little garden
    eat a lot of peaches
    try and find Jesus
    on your own....
    That works for me.

    Dan Miller is the host here doing his interview show Miller and Company.
    It aired in Nashville on WSMV every Sunday night after the late news.
    Dan was also the anchor on the evening news there.
    On his show he had many great songwriters and artists being in Nashville.
    This interview with John is a treasure.

    Every Prine interview I find now, every version of every song he wrote and sang, or were sung by others, just keeps boosting my respect and love and appreciation for the man. He’s all about sincerity and truth, and the lyrics he writes deliver it all in the most unique way. Simple, yet not simple at all, his songs hit home in the emotional heart, every time. Amazing. RIP John Prine.

Thanks to John Prine, I've bought a new accoustic and trying to write songs again. Greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

    Seems that during the stresses of this past eight months, my solace comes from listening to John's music and/or his being interviewed. His kindness comes through with every word, thought or song. Imagine if each of us would lend his kindness to our world, one human at a time. Thank you, John, for your unique ability to capture the kindness of life, the tough part of life with an enduring lesson and the love of each memory we experience along our life's journey. I will forever miss him; however, so very thankful for the breadth of work he has left for us all.

    So true about all fans feeling validated when their favourite artists win an award. At least that’s how it should be. Oftentimes fans will react badly, feeling that their personal secret is out. I’ve felt like that in the past, til I realised that I was essentially wishing that my favourite artists did not get the recognition I thought they deserved. Vale John Prine.
