What's left to be said about John Prine...

...that hasn't already been said a thousand times? The man is a lyrical genius admired over his long career by peers and audiences alike. John writes the songs we can all relate to. The songs about favorite cars, favorite dogs, and favorite times. And the bad times...a song writer can't ignore the bad times, but John writes those from a different, nay, a better perspective. Not so much in protest as in a nostalgic learning path. A more palatable reminiscence.



Returning home a star...



...favorites...



And then Bonnie & John doing one of my personal favorites.



I would have killed to be at this concert - Bonnie, Bryan, Bruce, and Jackson all doing John! OMG!



Still, I'm hoping to see John doing John in the next few months. A trip to my old stomping grounds - Pittsburgh and a close to the stage seat in the Mellon Arena. Can't ask for more than that.

I'll let y'all know how good it was...
