SAM STONE (John Prine)

[mockradgy]

First time I heard it was in the early 70's at a bar in Chicago. By guess who?

Great rendition! He had my attention after that.

[ichingiching]

Beautiful playing, beautiful guitar :) And beautiful job on the song! I have a great fondness for this song...my parents loved it as well! Something about it...

[ichingiching]

[frietag]

this is probably one of my dads favorite songs.

Nice take on it.

[ichingiching]

its as relevant now as when JP wrote it.. cheers,, m

[MROSEN62]

Nice job. I really enjoyed it. I have always loved the songs of John Prine and there is none better than Sam Stone. Great topical songwriting in the tradition of Phil Ochs.

[ichingiching]

its a timeless song and captures the aftermath of those troubled times..

[monsterstinker]

The part of this song that i don't get is the "Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose", any help??

[ichingiching]

good question.. i think its a typical JP razor sharp cynicism of the futility of war against the backdrop of JCs symbolic self sacrifice ..

[BluesState]

The only thing that matters is what you think it mean.

Personally, I have always felt it meant JC's death doesn't stop people from doing what they do, again again.

as i was listening to you play " Puff" i was wondering to myself if you sang any john prine, and yes you did! yipee!! so far every song I love.

[ichingiching]

Sounds like a hat trick! lol Thanks Sher.

[GoodOldGar]

I use this song as proof that John Prine writes 10 times better than Dylan, and I like Dylan. Ichi, I love your work. You add your personality to the songs without compromising the writer's meaning. That's not an easy thing to do.

[ichingiching]

John is really underrated but great song writer. Thanks for your kind comments Cheers MIke

[fkidder]

Excellent! I love the swing you put on these songs! I just love your git work and your voice. Very fine stuff here!
