John Prine- think positive thoughts
 
Looks to be in trouble. Love John

Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin' all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end

I was thinking today, about how so many older musicians, who have stood the test of time (Keith Richards aside), will get brought down by this.

wdfifteen 03-29-2020 04:18 PM

Oh no! Prayers and best wishes to John.

Placido Domingo is also in the hospital with CV. Apparently stable as of now.

That just sucks. I'm so bummed out about this I don't know what to think....

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go...

Prine is one of the few song writers I genuinely admire, seems to be so my whole life.

I was supposed to see him at Jazz Fest
He cancelled last year...but was back in good health
This blows

From that same song...one of the best lyrics ever written (IMHO):

If dreams were thunder, and lightning was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Just saw him in LA a few months ago. Awesome show.

And FWIW, he prolly wouldn't care if you offered up a prayer for him too.

jhynesrockmtn 03-29-2020 06:57 PM

Dammit, have tickets to see him in August. He's a bucket list show. All positive thoughts John.

"So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello"

"My Linda goes to Mars, everytime I sit and look at pictures of used cars."

"We was sittin' in the back seat, just shooting the breeze,
with her hair up in curlers, and her pants to her knees"

yeah-ironic in that I heard the news about John Prine last night on the Philly Folk Show, whos founder/longtime host/Folk Fest mc Gene Shay is also on a vent due to Covid.

John is a tough bird, survived a couple bouts of serious crap including throat cancer. This sucks.

Otter74 03-30-2020 06:20 AM

Oh, damn. I only discovered him about 15 years ago but love his music. I'm sorry to hear this.

Skip Newsom 03-30-2020 07:03 AM

I heard and thoroughly enjoyed John's music starting back in the 70's, his lyrics and music are sooo good. He's truly an American treasure in my book.
He helped me through some rough times with his humor and WTH attitude.

Thanks John, best to you always bud!!

an old favorite

I started reading this thread last night and I was up until midnight listening to John Prine. He can turn a phrase for sure.
Ironically, the song I like the most wasn't written by him. But he sang on it, and it sounds like something he would have written.

saw this yesterday and it broke my heart, I hope he comes through, tough old bastard beat cancer twice so I have faith

yellowperil 03-31-2020 01:44 AM

Lot of "Car Guy" in him too!

daepp 03-31-2020 10:35 AM

If you're a fan of JP and not seen this, you should remedy that real soon while waiting for him to recover (he said with fingers crossed...):
