    Yeah, that was sad news yesterday. Especially tough since he beat lung cancer... his influence on the outlaw/underground folk/country/Americana movement can't be overstated.

    A fine tribute album was produced a decade ago, which included a bunch of talent; if you don't have it, get it: Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine

    I worked with John on a project for several months in the early nineties. He was an absolute gentleman but what I'll always remember most was his wicked sense of humor. His mastery of words went well beyond his lyrics.

    RIP, sir.

    Was thinking of this song yesterday, quite the poet.
