This song is at best argument for the existence of divine inspiration. It feels like it descends from some lofty spiritual place. #xpncountdown

It is embarrassing how old I was before I discovered the music of John Prine. What a masterful songwriter and storyteller. So much empathy and compassion in his music. #xpncountdown
