·His ability to craft a deeply meaningful song from the viewpoint of someone else amazes me. Angel from Montgomery, an older woman unhappy at home..Hello in There, senior citizens suffering from loneliness...Sam Stone, a drug addicted war veteran who commits suicide...Far from Me, a waitress. Every one of those makes me tear up every time I hear them, and those were all on his very first album. To launch his first album with so many incredible songs is stunning. He credits his time as a Postal Carrier saying it allowed him to daydream all day long, but his ability to empathize and put it in to such touching music is a talent we will surely miss.

·“Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling
When my soul
Went through the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this a way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size.....”
RIP John Prine

·I met John Prine once many years ago. I drove a relative who was an entertainment reporter at the time to one of his concerts. Acted like a regular guy. Always liked his songs.
