Why is John Prine not more widely known about? He makes Bob Dylan seem irrelevant by contrast. Bob is boring babble compared to the brilliant Prine. I heard about Prine only recently when channel surfing and seeing him on pbsTV. And he's been around for years and years and he's great. Finally great clever songs sung by someone I can understand when he sings. I'm almost thinking John Prine is the best. So how come most people have never heard of him? Am I in the twilight zone?

Oh sorry - I thought this was from last night because he said the same exact little speech before he played the song! Apologies, I'm an idiot.

@jcnotsorry -- oh my god. i just saw him 2 days ago and he said the same EXACT STORY verbatim. we all laughed the same. :)

John Prine you are a beautiful soul. One of the few people in music that no one, reguardless of their taste, can dislike.

@FoxyWoman31 He's been around forever.

You (and sadly many others) haven't heard of him because the music biz went in the toilet shortly after he began recording in earnest. A ton of good music has been made that you won't hear unless you look beyond the world of commercial music.
