He’s smokin’ a cigarette that’s 9 miles long. My favorite songwriter of all time. RIP John.

Crap, one of the greats is gone. So long John, thanks for the songs.

I don't cry much any more.
I did when I clicked on this thread and read the news.

Same here. I managed to hold it together until this morning when I saw my daughter's Skyped rendition of "Paradise."

This is a real gem. Seth Meyers put up a video of Prine's appearance on SNL in 1976. The clip begins at 2:30:

Thanks for the link, RichP. Found a couple of my old relics. Swear I had the Sweet Revenge LP, too, and probably a cassette or two stashed somewhere. As my son pointed out about Prime Prine, "How can you have a greatest hits album that only encompasses the early 70's?"
 LPs 
A lot of songs that mentioned death, and one of my faves. 
"These are the places you will find me hiding'...These are the places I will always go."
(Down in the Valley by The Head and The Heart)
"Sometimes you're happy. Sometimes you cry.
Half of me is ocean. Half of me is sky."
(Thanks, Tom Petty)
