"if heartaches were commercials / we'd all be on T.V"

John Prine, "Come Back To Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard"

Too friendly to be compared to Dylan, too rootsy-folksy to get compared to Springsteen.  Just an incredibly unique talent I guess, comparable to nobody.

R.I.P. John Prine.  I came to him later than most, but like many my first listen to "Spanish Pipe Dream" blew me away.
