Exactly! Thanks for reminding us, Dreadnut. We all benefit from inspirers such as John Prine, musically and philosophically.

I'm not going to have a funeral but if I did, "Please Don't Bury Me" will be the featured song.

That's great, Richard, my 12 year old grandson was helping me clean up the music room the other day and that song came on my Pandora station. He immediately loved it!

And I'm guessing at least some of John's ashes floated down the Green River.

Forever young

Fitting tribute, dread.
