John Prine Video

I've been a big John Prine fan for several years now, since I was first introduced to him in college (his music, that is). In fact, recently I was asked if I could fill any musicians shoes, who would it be. My answer was Prine. He's an excellent song writer, funny, laid back, and seems like the kind of guy you'd want to go grab a beer with. The below is a really great video I stumbled accross of Prine from back in the day playing my favorite song. He tells a really funny story of a fan misunderstanding the lyrics to the song he's playing. For the reference of those that don't know the song, the chorus, and misunderstood lyrics, are: "That's the way that the world goes 'round / you're up one day, the next you're down / it's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown / that's the way that the world goes 'round". Just thought I'd share.

  1. thanks for sharing this dude. i've never heard of this guy before, but I like the music. I now demand that you go immediately and listen to shearwater, my favorite band from austin. I can almost guarantee that you will fall in love.

  2. Jonathan, yea, he's great, glad you like it. But you have heard it before...he was on my top 10 CD. See if Tish remembers.

    I'll give Shearwater a try.
