ChevyVanMiller Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 It’s rare when you get to sing a song you wrote about one of your idols to that idol. 2
Steve O Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 One of my all time favorites. Mentioned on the Joe Diffie thread that he's beaten cancer twice, not sure how much fight he has left for this. 1
Lurker Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Boy, that's tough news. He had his left lung removed in2013, so this is going to be a tough battle for him. Fingers crossed....
Mark80 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Damn, just started exploring his stuff in the last year. Hoping for the best.

Chandler#81 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Seen him a couple times. Enjoyable shows. Hope for the best!
bbb Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Always knew his name, but somehow I don't seem to know a single song. 1

Fingers crossed.... Fiona Prine says he he pneumonia in both lungs (see below). When I saw your post I thought he was not going to make it. Now I am more hopeful that he will recover. 4 hours ago, Lurker said:

rockpile Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) John Prine is one of those brilliant poets and guitarists, on the fringe of "pop star" status. I have been loving his music since the seventies. He is on my top of the pops list with J.J. Cale, Leon Russell, The Band (two original members are alive), and a few others. I am not ready to let go of him yet. ? Edited April 4, 2020 by rockpile clarification 1 1
