Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Mr. Prine.
One of the greatest song writers ever.

Damn, I was just listening to his first album (1971) last night.
And we just heard about Joe Diffie succumbing to the Wuhan Virus this afternoon.
Bob Dylan just put out a 17-minute dirge yesterday so I'm worried about him as well.

Dylan is 78 years old. I hope he stays well.

His song “Sam Stone” is one of the most hauntingly depressing songs I’ve ever listened to. Brilliant guy. I hope he recovers.
To: Borges
I just heard over the radio he passed. He went quick.

So bummed about this. Went to his All the Best Fest last Fall in the Dominican Republic. Had a great time, I think everyone did, including John and Fi. Signed up against for this Fall, looks more and more doubtful.

Dylan should definitely be practicing social distancing.
Fortunately, he seems to have done this most of his career, so he has a lot of practice.

May the Lord lay His healing hands upon John...

He is a rabid lib but his music is great, Saw him in concert once and put on a hell of a show. Prayers for you John.

Was just listening to his brilliant first album (1971) last night based on another thread that was running through here concerning the new Bob Dylan 17-minute dirge about the JFK assassination.
His subsequent albums have been very good as well. Granted, an acquired taste, just like Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. But well worth the journey.
RIP John Prine (if he did indeed pass today).

It is one of the saddest songs ever. His songs build such vivid pictures in your head. He is just flat out brilliant.

Back in ‘99 I was lucky enough to jam with him om a BC Ferries sailing to Nanaimo. His sideman handed me his guitar for half an hour.
Good times!

Opened for the Cowboy Junkies 'bout 20 years ago - did a sweet duet with Margo Timmins - nice.
