The way I’d prefer to remember John Prine leaving us… dancing a jig to the sounds of “Lake Marie” at the @BeaconTheatre in 2018. Thanks for everything, @JohnPrineMusic pic.twitter.com/e2XeA2TC4w

“Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go”
-John Prine
He made great songs.
