I don't know if any of you ever listened to John Prine. I listened in 1974 era of Viet Nam when I was a Marine in Japan. I did not serve in Viet Nam but a lot of the guys I lived with in the barracks were Viet Nam vets. A lot of his music was anti Viet Nam or anti war but a lot was deep contemporary poetry to music. I know many of his songs and can play and sing many of his songs. One of my favorite was Sweet Revenge. "I got kicked off of Noah's ark. I turned my cheek to one kind remark. There were two of everything and one of me. When the rains came tumbling down. I held my breath and stood my ground. And I watched that ship go sailing out to sea."
He died today of the coronavirus. I am saddened by this.
