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)

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".”
This exact same story was told Monday night amongst my party as we were walking up St Louis Street in BR to enter the Dylan show.

Weird how shite gets around.

Well, he wrote it and was not credited. 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.
