How coincidental he died on Willie Nelson's birthday.

a DAC greatest hits cassette is the only country music I've ever purchased. (around 1983, I think)

Prine requested to be uncredited on the song, as he thought it was a "goofy, novelty song" and did not want to "offend the country music community"
That simply does not sound like the John Prine I knew with songs like In Spite of Ourselves, Spanish Pipedream, and, Illegal Smile among a few others.
Anyway, while several of y'all turn on a few David Allan Coe tunes, I think I put on some John Prine now for just a little while.

Fun fact about “you never even called me by my name” is that John Prine co wrote it with Steve Goodman but “Prine requested to be uncredited on the song, as he thought it was a "goofy, novelty song" and did not want to "offend the country music community".”
Weird how shite gets around.

the quote I put about him not wanting to offend the country music community is from Wikipedia, so maybe it's conjecture. Youtube - John Prine talking about writing You Never Even Called Me By My Name with Steve Goodman on a radio show

John Prine is one of the greatest of all time and personally in my top 5. Every song he ever wrote and performed is amazing. I listen to his music every day. Two awesome books for Prine fans:
John Prine Beyond Words
quote:
John Prine has written songs that have become central to America's musical heritage. In this book, Prine curates a selection of his best loved songs. Over 100 photographs from John Prine's personal collection. Copies of hand-written lyrics showing how the songs evolved. Commentary from John about the songs and photographs. Lyrics and guitar chords for over 60 classic John Prine songs.
''He did a better job of holding up the mirror of art to the 60s and 70s than any of our official literary poets.'' -Ted Kooser, US Poet Laureate ''He just has a unique ability to haiku it - it's deceptively insightful. It's at once playing on words and imagery, but expressing something deeper in such a succinct way, in such an exceptional way.'' - Bonnie Raitt
Prine on Prine: Interviews and Encounters with John Prine
quote:
John Prine hated giving interviews, but he said much when he talked. Embarrassed by fame, delighted by the smallest things, the first songwriter to read at the Library of Congress, and winner of the Pen Award for Literary Excellence, Prine saw the world unlike anyone else.
The songs from 1971’s John Prine remain spot-on takes of the human condition today, and his writing only got richer, funnier, and more incisive. The interviews in Prine on Prine trace his career evolution, his singular mind, his enduring awareness of social issues, and his acute love of life, from Studs Terkel’s radio interviews from the early ’70s to Mike Leonard’s Today Show packages from the ’80s, Cameron Crowe's early encounter to Ronni Lundy's Shuck Beans, Stack Cake cookbook, and Hot Rod magazine to No Depression’s cover story, through today.

Back in the 70s, he was at that place on Nicholson so much which I can’t remember the name of that I thought he was the house band.

First and only time I saw DAC was at the Country Music fest at the fairgrounds in B.R. Fall of 75 with Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, DAC and a few others I can't remember. Remember Willie trading hats during his set. And sadly, when I threw up Jambalaya. Had rice in my nose for days.

Saw him at Sam Jam in Kaplan high football stadium
He was super fricked up - just sang about 8 songs jumbled together and rolled out
