#036 - The Five Sides of John Prine

Legendary singer/songwriter John Prine passed on Tuesday from complications caused by the Coronavirus. We discussed his hospitalization a couple episodes back; hoping, without much conviction, but hoping nonetheless that he would find his way through this, this…have we found the words yet to describe whatever this is? A 21st century plague; a mutation that thrives when we come together, only to suffocate and exhaust when it has us alone; this scourge of isolation. As with so many others, surviving was not in the cards for Mr. Prine & he will be missed, dearly.

Jay has always known John Prine’s music and, rather than wait another week, we all decided we should have this conversation now. So, with all that said, we bring you a weekend special: ”The Five Sides of John Prine”

• That's the Way the World Goes Round

• Far from Me (Live from the House of Strombo)
