‘cuz I’m gonna need a train ticket to wherever
he hauled Muhlenberg County away to.”
John Prine –
Songwriter, grammy winner, old folky.
October 10, 1946 – April 7, 2020.
Aged 73 years.
Most recognized for: One of the most influential American country/folk songwriters of a generation, old boy was kinda a big deal…. especially to his fellow old boys. Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Rodger Waters… all these guys have admitted to looking for inspiration in Prine’s work. But amidst a rough couple of weeks when everybody was Kung-flu fighting, ol’ John took the ultimate crane kick.
