John Prine tonight...

I saw him in a small auditorium in college and he brings back good memories.

College. Shit eating grin.

Cool. When did you graduate? And school if your comfortable with that. I have so many memories associated with music and concerts it's ridiculous.

1978 Eastern Illinois University. I saw him in 1979 or 1980, possibly 1981.

JOhn Prine;

Somebody said they saw me
swinging the world by the tail,
dancing over a high cloud
Killing the blues.

There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes...

SOME HUMANS AIN’T HUMAN

Some humans ain’t human some people ain’t kind
You open up their hearts and here’s what you’ll find
A few frozen pizzas some ice cubes with hair
A broken popsicle no you don’t want to go there

Some humans ain’t human though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you’re sleeping they try to screw you blind
Some humans ain’t human some people ain’t kind

You might go to church and sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain’t human could be sitting right next to you
They talk about your family they talk about your clothes
When they don’t know their own ass from their own elbows

Jealousy and stupidity don’t equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity don’t equal harmony

Have you ever noticed when you’re feeling really good
There’s always a pigeon that’ll come shit on your hood
Or you’re feeling you freedom and the world’s off your back
Some cowboy from Texas starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain’t human some peopla ain’t kind
They lie through their teeth with their head up their behind
You open up their hearts and here’s what you’ll find
Some humans ain’t human some people ain’t kind

1979 for undergrad here. Jeez, has it been that long?

Yeah... we used to get drunk on cheap red wine and smoke dope to his stuff. Makes me stomach hurt just to think about it
