Their was a great piece on CBS Sunday a few months ago. Great interview. What a storyteller for sure. Springsteen even gave him street cred. I guess they were coming up at the same time as the heir apparent to Dylan.

John Prine wrote songs that sounded simple but weren't. He's remembered here, along with his sparkling 2005 conversation at the Library of Congress with Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate. blogs.loc.gov/loc/2020/04/jo #NationalPoetryMonth #RIP @JohnPrineMusic
