[carnut476]

John for president .

[TheWizardofRandR]

A great guy to party with !!!!!

[bevisponcho]

The censorship just proves how America has really evolved to having no values, just control.

[floydwhitlock]

The man is a true legend

[stillsouthern3]

Those humans who aint human r sittin' right next 2 YOU

[gluestick751]

Love this song!!!!

[GoldenPig2012]

John Prine is my hero!

[crstoforo]

Thanks John Prine, Love this song!!

[666spunday]

touching in a sad way?!

[wildmancurry]

@tucanman. this is from austin city limits. if they poster scammed it off of a PBS station they may have. Potty words or not, it is a great song and one of many of his.

[TheChoughs]

@wildmancurry Of course I did'nt bleep it ! It was done on the broadcast.

[nathanolson]

this was a special night, never sounded better :)

[tucanoman]

I hit "stop" when the word ASS was bleeped. How pathetic and a slap to John who deserves more respect. Get a life censorer. Delete this insult to a great artist.

[MrEclecticity]

Who censored this? Are 'ass' and 'shit' so offensive that they have to be cut out of a work of art?

[AdamHassan88]

Some Humans Aint Human. Just read the comments left on this video, It explains the song very well.

[pwgabachito]

@blewkimono I hope so. 

[TheMrdogoman]

this song is not about rich folks . it is about the fucker living across the stree ... the everyday person . the real title of the song should be very few humans are human , just get sick and see how many come to your aid ... have a heart attack with 7 cord of wood in the yard and see if anybody comes to help or fields to seed .....

[crstoforo]

another great song!! Thanks John Prine!!

[TheMichaelseymour]

that was the tone of a pedal steel ...and yet he got it on the ol geetar ! ......nice.

[TonyaK1971]

I love John Prine, he tells it like it is, and I love that!

[mphello]

Kill all the subhuman trash that voted for Republicans and Democrats.

BULLSHIT that they "didn't know" that they would trash and destroy the country and the world.

I fully support the USA and Iran or China getting into full-blown nuclear war to kill the fascist non-vegetarian nationalists in both countries.

And, if it is later proven that I'm wrong, I demand to be treated as Bush and Obama and banksters are currently treated and I will tell everybody just to move on.

[hommee]

@mphello  your dumb

[mphello]

@hommee

And you're a subhuman shithead who deserves to be tortured and killed, because you didn't give me one fucking proof of why *I* am "dumb". I am fucking god compared to you.

[whillop]

@mphello No one needs to tell you why you're dumb , it's all right there for all the world to see in your post , ya stupid cunt .

[mphello]

@whillop

I'd cheer and laugh if you got tortured and killed, you subhuman piece of shit.

What a fucking moron you are. And it's all right there in your post. You can't give a logical reason for opinion, so you resort to name-calling. Typical of those without degrees.

[whillop]

@mphello You lost your virginity to your mother in an outhouse , ya drooling cumguzzler .

[carnut476]

The Bush shits are not Human.

[UISTSUNSET4]

Maybe they're all 'too human'....depressing eh?

[CactassDupree]

Heck I'd marry him but i'm a man . there ya go John Write us another song please.

[lwplwp]

Sad that they would beep this....Can't get much more ironic than that.

[adandominguez]

Some ice cubes with hair.

[MrFlatroofer]

Beautiful

[rfranklinw1]

john is a treasure that not enough people know about. but then, some people ain't human, Love him.

[MatchGirl]

One of Prine's gifts is to say the most serious things in a way that makes us chuckle for a moment- a rueful chuckle, because it's a bitter amusement. It's one of the reasons I just love his songs.

[BobbyVylan]

@MatchGirl I agree. I always tell people that he takes his serious songs lighthearted and his lighthearted songs serious.

[dahlgrenjr]

One of the greatest creations on Earth was the creation of Austin City Limits! Thank you ACL for spreading John's beautiful works!  And the plethora of other artists that have visited that kickass stage.

[blackflute]

Love this song.

You've disrespected Mr. Prine by expurgating it.

[CactassDupree]

@blackflute What is expurgating? It don't sound good..

[blackflute]

Love this song. You disrespect to Mr. Prine by expurgating it.

[micflic]

Music belongs to the people who love it, politics to the money that buys the elections.

[SummerThieves]

You need to be human to understand what Prine is telling us. I don't see any humor in this song.

[koeselitzzz]

For one thing, an insult to a politician isn't an insult to a musician's fans; if you identify that personally with political leaders, you're bound to go insane sooner or later anyway. For another thing, anybody who burns anybody else's records is crazy, at the very least because burning plastic makes an awful smell.

[boldaq1]

@koeselitzzz

Come on. You're a democrat. You've been mixing music and politics since the stone age.

[REDMEAT1969]

I saw him just last night,,,and I wondered why he didn't take a Jab at Obama...I mean since Obama has still not gotten us out of Iraq as Promised,,,and since he has raised troop levels past what they were at the height of the Iraq war,,,and we bombed Libya....I do not see the difference,,,,

[TheBerserker50]

@REDMEAT1969 its a song.. a feeling in a given moment.

[boldaq1]

I've loved John Prine's music for decades but his open, dixie-chick attack on Bush was extremely rude and inconsiderate to a lot of his fans.

If those on the left think it's not a big deal just imagine if he sang,

"Some people ain't human, Some people will fib ya',

Some guy from Chicago, starts his own war in Libya"

How would you feel?

John always had better sense than that.

Politics is a serious thing.

[mannysCW1]

@boldaq1 War is much more serious than politics. War is much more serious than anything. Why don't you burn all his records like all the idiots did with the Dixie Chicks over a single sentence.

[boldaq1]

@mannysCW1

Well, I'll tell you, manny, I won't burn all his records but I have lost a lot of respect for him. Performers like him should know better than to take cheap political shots. The dixie chicks shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath with a real artist like John Prine. But he chose to lower himself to their level and it will cost him.

Just imagine someone like, oh, say, Bruce Springsteen, saying, "Obama's not my president" to his fans?

I'll bet you'd burn all his records.

[mannysCW1]

@boldaq1 He's just making his opinion known about a specific policy. Same thing with the Dixie Chicks. They were just against the Iraq war. Everyone's entitled to their freedom of speech.

For me I think Sean Hannity is one of the worst people on the planet but I still listen to my Lynyrd Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels records from the 1970's when i was huge fans of both bands. I'm not thrilled they do his Freedom Concerts but I still like their music.

[0schlaflos0]

@boldaq1

stil_no_war_with_Libya..

[boldaq1]

@0schlaflos0 U.S. military boots ARE on the ground in Libya, Pentagon admits.

[shaunone]

@boldaq1 and the murder of millions based on a pack of lies is even more serious. Well done John.

[sirwinfredsmith]

@boldaq1 i voted for obama and would have loved if he changed the lyrics to take the piss out of obama for going to libya. i criticize the people i vote for all the time, hell in illiois i voted for george ryan the republican for governor, he was ousted for being corrupt and i bitched about that, then i voted democrat and blago was busted for corruption and i bitched about that, so i voted green last time, fuck the crooks

[kerrykrishna]

Amazing as always. New to me song...

[oldtexasmusic]

Terrific song. Looking at things the way they are from one side of the aisle. Thanks for sending the song to me, Barbara.

[BABSINUK]

Hi,my favourite singer songwriter Charlie Landsborough says John Prine is his favourite singer.They both sing songs that carry strong messages.

This song is certainly telling it like it is.very convincingly .

Thanks to the uploader and to kywoman for the share.

[fishin764]

This Song Gives Me The Goose Bumps & I Think These Words To This Song IS SO TRUE !!

[CactassDupree]

JOHN U DA MAN

[28fireflies]

Or you're feeling your freedom

And the world's off your back

Some cowboy from Texas

Starts his own war in Iraq

[911Independent]

@28fireflies Hey ... I VOTED for president Bush (at least 1x) and that is a GREAT LINE!?!? Love Prine!

[boldaq1]

@28fireflies Some people ain't human

Some people will fib ya'

Some marxist from Chicago

Starts his own war in Libya.

[juliuas777]

@boldaq1 Wow how clever!

[buratino66]

@boldaq1 The PEOPLE in Libya fought their war tooth and nail. Kdaffy Duck got what he deserved. The man from Chicago is trying to provide now 50 million Americans with health insurance. But, you probably think THAT is wrong. As the song says...Some humans ain't human....and YOU are one of them. The song speaks volumes about rich elites and ignorant "rednecks" like you.

[ramblinrocker]

@28fireflies living legend!



[carnut476]

@28fireflies You don't listen very well he said this HOTSHOT FROM TEXAS -- who was really from maine !

[DebraAnnPendleton]

If I wasn't so shy, I'd asked him to marry me years ago.....of course I married him in my heart the first time the first time I heard his words....but again...who wants to marry a Postman?...Me, I did.

[neldarabbitflat]

@DebraAnnPendleton

[ltrsmiles]

He's my dream man too;)

[DebraAnnPendleton]

If I wasn't so shy, I'd asked him to marry me years ago.....of course I married him in my heart the first time the first time I heard his words....

[junebugc25]

that song is so very true it is unreal good job

[Samuel432]

Very true

[Tripleaught18]

one of my favorite Prine songs, GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN NEXT month thanks again for posting Love your site.

[junebugc25]

my god what a man, he is such a joy to listen and watch wonderful

[Goneoffshore]

Saw him last year - sang this - he's brilliant.

[smackwaterjack1017]

...the song strikes at the heart of the GOP...

[BigDan855]

I've had some pigeons pooping on my hood, since I have enjoyed my new found happiness with my new wife! Why can't those pigeons stop being jealous and stop judging and live and let live!

[robinhood999a]
