Covid-19 takes down Oklahoma Music Legend!

[Fredkrueger100]

Hopefully someone will honor his wish and prop him up next to the juke box.

I just hope they remember that he likes blondes.

Sadly it looks like John prine might be next. Ventilated in critical condition

Just please don’t burry him down in that cold cold ground...

 

[CHenry]

Never heard of John Prine?

Never heard of John Prine?

He's more of a legend as a songwriter, I think. He's never gotten much airplay as a singer.

This is him performing what's probably his best-known song on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. II:

 

[Hobbes]

When I think of John Prine I think of
Dear Abby

Dear Abby, Dear Abby ...
My feet are too long
My hair's falling out and my rights are all wrong
My friends they all tell me that I've no friends at all
Won't you write me a letter, Won't you give me a call
Signed - Bewildered

Bewildered, Bewildered
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain't what you ain't
So listen up Buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Dear Abby, Dear Abby...
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren't so expensive I'd wish I were dead
Signed - Unhappy

Unhappy, Unhappy
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain't what you ain't
So listen up Buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Dear Abby, Dear Abby...
You won't believe this
But my stomach makes noises whenever I kiss
My girlfriend tells me It's all in my head
But my stomach tells me to write you instead
Signed - Noise-maker

Noise-maker, Noise-maker
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain't what you ain't
So listen up Buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Dear Abby, Dear Abby...
Well I never thought
That me and my girlfriend would ever get caught
We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed Just Married

Just Married, Just Married...
You have no complaint
You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't
So listen up Buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood
Signed, Dear Abby

I listened to Joe Diffie a lot when he was in his prime. Unique voice, great songs. RIP Joe

Now Jackson Brown is sick . John Prine seems to be doing better.
They're both rich guys, but between Jackson Brown and John Prine, who gets the respirator?
Another grim hypothetical.

 

[zghorner]

another vote to have him stuffed and propped up beside the jukebox or it will be a crying shame.

Never heard of John Prine?

Surely you heard this song before or it might be cause I'm a little older than you. I had the 8 track with this on it. Illegal Smile by John Prine.
