John Prine - Dear Abby - Live, 4-22-09

[CactassDupree]

I saw J.P. at the King Center in Fla. Kriss Kristofferson openned for him. John was in his fourth song and the lady on the other side of my wife leaned towards me and asked me to "Please stop singwith Him." So I did and noticed I wasn't the only one singing right along with Him... They got an ovation of course and Both Kris and John came out and played a few more together. It was GREAT!!

John Prine can make you cry with one song and laugh you ass off with the next one he is one of a kind

If you have never been to see John Prine in concert you are missing out. I have seen G&R, Motley Crue, Kiss, Iron Maiden ac/dc, Metallica, etc. and I am not knocking those a bit, very high production entertainment. John Prine is a great story teller and very entertaining, no big cannons or light show but just as entertaining. I hope to see him in concert again soon...

While hitchhiking out of Denver in 1981, I was stuck at 70 east and 25 north, so I got out my marker to sign the lightpost like others had done, when I read the following words.

Dear Abbey Dear Abbey I've stood here too long

My feet are frozen, cigarettes are gone

Ten thousand cars have passed, noone has heard

And every damn  one has flipped me the bird

Signed Hitchhiker.

@catmandu57 That's funny as hell!!! I can just feal that guy's pain,lol!

[bulbheadmyass]

@catmandu57 Great version, catmandu.

[wichitarick]

@catmandu57 I lol at this because although I may not have written that sign we likely passed each other at that stop lol no joke the yr before that going west from Denver on 70 I was whited out in a snow storm on the road and the only person to rescue me was a Patrolman ,who did not search me lol and gave me 20$ and a ride to a truck stop and bought me dinner,never forgot that either! Good job remembering those words.Rick

[catmandu57]

@wichitarick Those were the days, no way that would be done now, you'd e probably get a ride downtown instead of a meal and a ride., He was a hell of a nice guy.

[LucidDream]

@catmandu57 That's awesome. :)

[rramsay57]

@LucidDream The trip was awesome, but it really sucked being stuck there.

[kakalak14]

thanks again dad for raising me on great music. i know i will never forget you when i hear our songs.

[GBeret83]

Anyone that can't appreciate the humor in this one, and many other of John Prine's songs just simply has no sense of humor at all. This man is an American Icon!!!

[kakalak14]

@GBeret83 AMEN
