3. John's brother Billy and I used to hang together.
Wild times. I haven't seen him in a long time though.

Mrs. XNASA is a big JP fan. He's a pretty interesting guy who has written some great songs. "Angel from Montgomery" comes to mind.

4. And a couple more
I really like a John Prine song called You've Got Gold.

And there's another, called Hello in There--depressing, but a really nice song, in my opinion.

6. Love John Prine
Part of the soundtrack of my life in the college days. Saw him several times in concert.

Have a blast! Hope he sings "Let's Talk Dirty In Hawaiian".

7. Don't forget
your "Illegal Smile"! (and I must admit I'm just a tad jealous. It's been way too long since I saw him).

8. you are in for a treat!
Saw him years ago with Steve Goodman- one of my favorite concerts ever. Are you going to wear your illegal smile?

"Coz your flag decal won't get you
into heaven anymore.
We're already overcrowded
from your dirty little war
Now Jesus don't like killin'
no matter what the reasons for
and your flag decal won't get you
into heaven anymore."

10. Love Prine
But I am going to see Jump Little Children tonight.
I've seen Prine and Bonnie Raitt do Angel from Montgomery - and saw him do AFM with Margo from Cowboy Junkies - that was great!

Sally used to play with erh hula hoops,
no she tells her problems to therapy groups, uh huh, oh yeah

11. Saw him 12 years ago-he was fabulous....
The whole crowd eventually became a sing-along with John.

14. John can play great song after great song
pretty much indefinitely.

He's like another species.

wish it was me going to see him.
