Hi Mark glad you like this song my friend, I'm not to sure where Daniel Johnson is from? But I'm from Ottawa Canada..so greetings from Ottawa my friend
Hey, thanks alot. I'm not one for words but I hope that you can appreciate my effort and make due with the smile you just put on my face. Thanks alot.
I see I left a comment a month ago, but popped by to hear this again, and didn't want to leave without saying hello! Still sounds good! Singing along this time :)
Love this John Prine song! Had a real need to hear it (after so many years)! Still puts a smile on my face! Saw him first thirty-five years ago (gasp!!!) Chased him down last year. Same old John. Just funnier and wiser.
Only thought I should mention, Prine, himself, denies this song has anything to do with weed. He says it's just about him getting hasseled in his youth for always having a stupid grin on his face
lol I hear you Quentin. I have had that problem since I was a teenager. People often think I am stoned and it's usually not true. I like beer better : )
People try to escape reality for a wide variety of reasons, being hassled as a kid could be a reason. I personally don't reccomend escaping it, Face it head on my friend and enjoy the ride : )
never heard that before, what a fantastic song! great playing dude - was grinning along the whole time (i'm not specifying the legality of aforementioned grin, hehe) damn that distracting delay!
You have a Real distinctive style, your attitude lifts the listener, great song ,music,singing, keep giving what we're getting 5/5 the Ottawarocket ROCKS
