And having Cancer already, he’s more likely than not I would imagine. SC Biggest death to who? Willy waivers? Seriously who the fuck is this nobody? Also biggest death gimme a break - Prince Charles and the Queen's footman have it.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perhaps 1,423 Posted March 29, 2020 Kenny Rogers, Jan Howard, Joe Diffie all dead within the last 9 days and now John Prine is on the chopping block. Definitely a bad time to be a country singer. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SusanStoHelit 21 Posted March 29, 2020 If someone like Steve Goodman is a nobody to you, then yes, so is he. Otherwise, no. Also, this tone made me think I was in the rage thread... If someone is irrelevant to you, why comment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, ok then. In that case, next you're probably gonna tell me you had no fucking clue who Kenny Rogers was before he turned up on the list. D'you know "City of New Orleans"? And if you do, do you know that song has cover versions in at least three languages and was not written by Arlo Guthrie? He wrote it, and John Prine wrote and or co-wrote some of his other songs... On the other hand, Steve Goodmans been dead for a few decades now, so if you only notice people once they get cancer (and can be picked in A DP), which he did, for the record, no wonder...

I've heard the Willie Nelson version of City of New Orleans. Now there's a real bona-fide famous person. And tbfh I assumed Nelson wrote it. God knows who Arlo Guthrie is.... as alien to me as Goodman or Prine or Kenny Rogers - is he Fred's brother? Maybe that makes me an uncultured slob but on the other hand can you name every member and touring member of Slipknot or Iron Maiden? There's some real musicians and proper music for you flower.

I'll report back if he makes it to the September gig in London. Thought I'd post another Prine classic, In Spite of Ourselves, just because it never charted and that's a shame.

Some around here won't give you the time of day unless you've been signed up since 1895. However my view (and it may just be my view) is that being new isn't a handicap. Hmm, ok, thinking longer (15 whole seconds) it IS a handicap, but one that can be overcome with diligent posting and due deference to those who've been around since the ark (i.e. signed up sometime before 2020).
