The Maywood Mailman. I grew up next door in Elmwood Park to the genius songwriter / artist John Prine. He's the type of Special human being that you turn your friends onto. That's exactly what i did and my friend and i have been spreading J.Prine love to everybody we talk to.
I love that more and more people are coming out and covering his stuff, for a whole new generation to appreciate! There are a lot of people out there who carry on his tradition like Todd Snider (his earlier work) but there will never be another John! :)
When John ultimately leaves us...they better nail him in good....it'll take alot to hold this man among men down. If we all had his class..this world would be fine(r).
Nothing quite compares to JP. Not even dylan, in my opinion. So moving, so quiet, so simple, but yet so beautiful. Damn he sounds good, and damn its moving.
hey folks, i wish there were more artists like john prine. i believe he's had his share of personal hell like the rest of us and that's why in my meek opinion that his music reflects a certain gentleness that is lost in our society. god bless mr. prine and all of you
i,m arabic from libya and i really admire john i even sing his songs playing his tones in guitar. i suffered alot to learn though but i,m now appreciate my works.. i sang this to americans and they liked it indeed..
How do you hide Love (: ..this song i found while looking for another of Johns songs...but I quess i do wish you happiness..Since I left it up to u to decide and you decided No..gl to my T -john
i LOVE line too! but last stanza even more. "say you drive a chevy, say you drive a ford, you say you drive around the town till you just get bored. and you change your mind for something else to do and your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you." i don't know of any lyricist/poet who's tackled this sort of human condition dynamic between thought (mind) and feeling (heart) so simply and directly. a HUGE idea, these two aspects of ourselves at odds, how that tension "changes you."
Great interpretation. For me that verse always seemed to suggest that the heart is ultimately in control. After all, the heart is the one getting bored with the mind!
"Your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you", that's a complex line if you think about it, good vid...this is by far the best concert I've seen from him...his voice got better with age
great american songwriter, it's good war heroes have a singer to sing how it feels to be a fighter and still have a heart full of nothing but love an good tunes
His songs are sweet. Theres something so gentle&touch- ing natural &poignant yet at times so dang funny. He's alot like life a bit of fun at times solemn& silly but also can be full of great meaning.He is so wonderfully gifted. Anyone that ever hears him or better yet get a chance to see him live is an instant & lifetime fan! So take a moment share his songs(& his great friend Steve Goodmans too) They'll say hey he's really great
There is one last piece that I am saving until more people have had a chance to see the ones that I have already posted. I really would like to release it only to my subscribers first before I make it public, but I haven't figured out how to do it easily.

This song sums it up best. In the end we all have to forgive if we expect to be forgiven ourselves. It's the only way to move on.

John Prine,
You always amaze me. Each word has been crafted. I don't know how you can write so many amazing songs.
Sincerely,

I guess that love, is like a Christmas card, you decorate a tree, you through it in the yard.
Wow! What an awesome writer! Prine is the man.
