  • Nah man . . NOBODY knew where I was. :)

  • This song is disgusting.

  • @bluegrasssingingman Why is this song disgusting to you?

  • @raeannt He is making fun of God.

  • @bluegrasssingingman Don't you think that maybe the almighty creator of everything that is has a sense of humor about himself?

  • @raeannt MMM Don't you think it is wrong to say Jesus lived as a sinner.

  • @bluegrasssingingman Well, I don't think he really is saying Jesus lived as a sinner. The point of the song is that in the Bible, there are 18 years of Jesus life unaccounted for, and this is just his humorous take on what might have happened. None of it sounds sinful to me. Sounds like a wonderful, rich life full of love and disappointment and meaning. Sounds a lot like the human experience to me, which was a lot of the point of Jesus coming down here for us.

  • This is absolute genius. I pray that we get more music out of Mr. Prine.

  • I wonder if "Lamb" was inspired by this?
