I Love John Prine
Just so sad; the greatest, most empathetic folk/country singer of the ages, John Prine, died a month ago from the coronavirus! Why does it have to take the good ones?
As Roger Ebert said in the Chicago Sun Times after seeing him as at an open mike before he had become known: "How did a man so young become so knowledgeable about the ways of life?"
And, his tunes were memorable and unforgettable - ear worms that you actually looked forward to, and never tried to clear out!
He will be sorely missed - especially in this age of dissension and partisanship. He was a bringer-together - we need an army like him if our nation is to survive.
One of my only regrets in life: I never saw him live. My wife and I always planned to do so - someday; now, someday will never come!
