Gold was my favorite song growing up R.I.P.

A beautiful tribute. I was lucky enough to spend a day with John in Wash D.C. museum hopping when I was 16. It was an incredible day as he taught me how to look at art and appreciate it. He was an artist, a poet, a wonderful performer, and a true visionary. I hope future generations hear his words. My 11 year old daughter will gladly choose John over Miley Cyrus.

Nice tribute. John's first few solo albums after KT broke up are ALL among the very best of the 20th century.  Anyone have a copy of "Truckee River"?

I saw him at the old Golden Bear in Huntington Beach a long time ago...Great show...I have listened to his music on many cross-country road trips....

I went to the Hungry I tribute at the SF Performing Arts Library in 2007. I had been to several John Stewart concerts over the years but on this night I got to talk to John and Buffy. It was a memorable event for me. John's music had been a big part of my life. A little bit of me died when John passed. Rest in peace John Stewart.

@meadia60 You have to be strong and become one yourself.

I am so sad to hear of Johns passing, I have loved his music for so long.

Peace to you John

see you soon

Thanks for posting a terrific song. I had a chance to meet John after he performed at Chuck's Cellar in Los Altos, Calif., in 1978. He was a kind, funny and down-to-earth guy. Rest in peace, John. You will be remembered always.

I was a personal friend to Nick Reynolds and through our relationship was able to meet and spend time with John and Buffy..

I am in Japan now and thankful for your post

God bless the old KT- Dave , Nick, Bob and John Stewart-The 'old "old farts fromthe early days of the Kingston Trio who inspired Bobby Dylan , The Beatles and The Roliing Stones, ( Circa 1960-2). Even these greats would acknowledge that John Stewart was aa great inspiration who could turn music into gold!

The song inspired me to visit Santa Barbara recently. I could see how it ended up in a song.
