He had an" illegal smile "on his face most of the time.Its difficult to see him as anything but a non-judgmentall, good humored observer of life. He certainly had, and was, a gift.
Honestly John was like the rest of us, a person travelling thru life many times troubled, but like Elvis I hear John reaching out to Jesus for hope, it's just John put his/our story into song.
He achieved this songs purpose. Soon as it started I got flooded with an ex I loved for 8 years. Ended cause of a death in the family. Was brutal. But I still love her so much but know that’s over for good. So as much as it hurts, I guess I wish you the best. I do want you to have love and happiness. But also wanted it with us
I think id recognize John's acoustic anywhere. Almost as iconic as Willie Nelson's "trigger". Prine was the reason i was determined to learn Travis Picking.
To be optimistic you have to have humility, to know you will get there just not necessarily in the current mind, to know you will be wrong many more times then you’ll be right. And may God help us for when we are wrong to have humility, and turn back to his grace.
I’m not a man that puts faith in god, just don’t believe, that’s all. But your word have a thread running through them, that I recognize as grace. That is something you have and you’ve shared here. Thank you
