John Prine dead? Are you sure?
I thought he was serious, but had improved.

[Roger Slater]

I have seen no reports at all of his death on his own site, Wikipedia, or anywhere else. I think Jim jumped the gun on this one. At least I hope he did.

Oh man, sorry! I could have sworn I had read it that day.

Strangely, I had just now come back to the thread, still under the false impression he had died (only to discover he had not) to post another video of John Prine I had come across... It almost seems now like the thread was meant to come around to being about John Prine from the very beginning.

What an amazing storyteller. Here is a brilliant set of songs he performed in a perfect setting for storytelling — with his songwriting hero Gordon Lightfoot listening in the front row. Beautiful storytelling, plain and simple.

Esmeralda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame,
They humped each other like they had no shame.

And Gordon Lightfoot won immortality for rhyming 'Fitzgerald' with 'imperiled.'

[Mark McDonnell]

It seems you were right, Jim.
