is in Intensive Care and has been intubated with Covid-19 symptoms. Say a prayer if that's your thing. He's a National Treasure.

I saw that today. John's one of my favorites of all time. Sam Stone, Grandpa was a Carpenter, Dear Abby, all classics.

Praying for his recovery. I didn’t know much about or listen to him till the mid-70s. Couple older guys at the record store I started working in would occasionally put on his first album. I recognized two songs, “Hello in There” because it was covered by Bette Midler and “Angel From Montgomery” through Bonnie Raitt. Fantastic songwriter.

Woke up this morning

Put on my slippers

Walked in the kitchen

And died

And oh, what a feeling!

When my soul

Went through the ceiling

And on up into heaven, I did ride

When I got there, they did say

"John, it happened this way

You slipped upon the floor

And hit your head"

And all the angels say

"Just before you passed away

That these were the very last words

That you said"

"Please don't bury me

Down in that cold, cold ground

No, I'd rather have 'em cut me up

And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane

And the blind can have my eyes

And the deaf can take both of my ears

If they don't mind the size"

"Give my stomach to Milwaukee

If they run out of beer

Put my socks in a cedar box

Just to get 'em out of here"

"Venus De Milo can have my arms

Look out! I've got your nose

Sell my heart to the junk man

And give my love to Rose"

"But please don't bury me

Down in that cold, cold ground

I'd rather have 'em cut me up

And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane

The blind can have my eyes

And the deaf can take both of my ears

If they don't mind the size, oh man!"

"Give my feet to the footloose

Careless, fancy free

And give my knees to the needy

Don't pull that stuff on me"

"Hand me down my walking cane

It's a sin to tell a lie

Send my mouth way down south

And kiss my ass goodbye"

"But, please don't bury me

Down in that cold, cold ground

I'd rather have 'em cut me up

And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane

And the blind can have my eyes

And the deaf can take both of my ears

If they don't mind the size, that's right"

Recognized his talent just could never get in to him like my friends did.

Looks like placido Domingo caught it too.

I got a friend in Fremont, He sells used cars, ya know

Well, he calls me up twice a year

Just ask me how'd it go

Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain

But actually, everything is just about the same

I met a girl from Venus, and her insides were lined in gold

Well, she did what she did said "How was it, kid?"

She was politely told

"Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain

But actually, everything is just about the same."

Moonlight makes me dizzy

Sunlight makes me clean

Your light is the sweetest thing

That this boy has ever seen

Molly went to Arkansas, she got raped by Dobbin's dog

Well, she was doing good till she went in the woods

And got pinned up against a log

Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain

'Cause actually, all them dogs is just about the same

Moonlight makes me dizzy

Sunlight makes me clean

Your light is the sweetest thing

That this boy has ever seen

I heard Allah and Buddha were singing at the Savior's feast

And up in the sky an Arabian rabbi

Fed Quaker oats to a priest

Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain

'Cause actually, all them gods are just about the same

Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain

'Cause actually, everything is just about the same

In Spite of Ourselves

John Prine and Iris Dement

She don't like her eggs all runny

She thinks crossin' her legs is funny

She looks down her nose at money

She gets it on like the Easter Bunny

She's my baby, I'm her honey

I'm never gonna let her go

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays

Caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies

He ain't too sharp but he gets things done

Drinks his beer like it's oxygen

He's my baby, I'm his honey

I'm never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves we'll end up a-sittin' on a rainbow

Against all odds, honey we're the big door-prize

We're gonna spite our noses right off of our faces

There won't be nothin' but big ol' hearts dancin' in our eyes

She thinks all my jokes are corny

Convict movies make her horny

She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs

Swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs

She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'

I'm never gonna let her go

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey

A whacked-out weirdo and a love bugged junkie

Sly as a fox crazy as a loon

Payday comes and he's a-howlin' at the moon

He's my baby, I don't mean maybe

I'm never gonna let him go
