“Over here on E Street, we are crushed by the loss of John Prine,” Springsteen wrote on Twitter. “John and I were ‘New Dylans’ together in the early 70s and he was never anything but the loveliest guy in the world. A true national treasure and a songwriter for the ages. We send love and prayers to his family.”
Both Prine and Springsteen had been hailed as the “New Dylans” as they were coming up and making their indelible marks in the music world. The pair met backstage at a Bob Dylan show in the 1970s. “Prine’s stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs,” Dylan had said of Prine, via Johnpage. “I remember when Kris Kristofferson first brought him on the scene. All that stuff about Sam Stone the soldier junky daddy and Donald and Lydia, where people make love from ten miles away. Nobody but Prine could write like that.”

Very sad day 😢. Happier times with Mark Hughes at Glasgow gig August 2018.
GrogsGamut His version of Angel of Montgomery with the great Bonnie Raitt is magnificent, and In Spite of Ourselves with the equally great Iris Dement. Love his music. a great loss to the world.
Agreed. I hope he's smoking that 9 foot cigarette he sings about up there. Betcha he is.
Saw him play PearlatPalms with Kris Kristofferson a couple of years back last. He had an amazing band and was on the top of his game. 🙏🙏🙏
AndyBeshearKY Even though John wasn’t born on Kentucky soil, his heart and roots were firmly planted in TheBluegrassState Pls consider honoring him during your 5pm update.
GEEPENNIN I dont care about prines music. He committed a horrible, senseless crime and deserved to die in prison
Angel from Montgomery 🖤 I was taking a break from packing, when I covered this on Instagram 2 years ago and I got a like from JohnPrine's page. That was an amazing feeling. Thank you for sharing your music and love. ❤
The world has too few people with the heart & brilliance of JohnPrineMusic losing him hurts, feels like there's less magic in the world. It's our job to use his inspiration, warmth & music to restore that magic one song at a time, sharing his music, his love & magic endures. RIP
