GAFTV 2011 - Encore: Iris DeMent & John Prine Duet 

That's about as well said of John as anything I've ever read or heard about him.

So true. All that dancing around and stage show for mainstream popular music is mainly to cover up the mediocre melodies and ordinary singing

Philipo Pruesse for sure, the so called ‘mainstream’ pop music scene has no melody or sensible story to tell. if you isolate the ‘music’ from the ‘singing’ the sound is awful

Two precious people !

Your good post got me thinking again (at 82) about John coming up from the audience to join Iris at the end of her last show of that last night of the 2011 Galway Art Festival. What an special encore, "In Spite of Ourselves," for the over-the-top enthusiastic crowd, who hooted and hollered, knew all the lines and sang along with them! The natural poet had outdone himself again with "nuttin 'put on' here" just as you described. And, "Good Stuff"--the "humor, camaraderie, innocence and sweetness" sure was there, too, as always, with such lines as, "Honey, we're the big door prize!" June 13, 2021 now...more than a year since April 7, 2020...when COVID...fed to our nation as "a HOAX"...sadly took John Prine, too.

That's what the Irish do at concerts, God love 'em!

Yes. ❤

Thanks, Fred

The Trump virus.

@Gus VanHorn No, he didn't invent the virus, just disregarded it, then chose to scapegoat and pass the blame on its aftermath; demonizing Wuhan and China the same way he's always done when he fails. It's NEVER him...and you Gus, will eagerly oblige...It's time for the next John Prine song: "Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore."

Thank you

Thanks AHC

Thanks, Clarence

Thanks Mike

Check out her duet with Delbert McClinton Trouble

@@lindastokes5589 It's probably good, but I doubt it's as funny, clever and as readily identified with as "In Spite Of Ourselves".

@@4orrcountry You're right, not really as funny but, if you like Iris it is something to listen to.

I love Iris Dement.

I love to hear Iris. It takes me to Tennessee and see my wife’s kin. Her cousin sings like Iris..family reunions are great

Thank you

AMEN........Love Them Both.....They Are Great........

Thanks RKBA

Thanks, Philipo

John wrote a song about them too!

Some humans, ain,t human!
