Just figured Prine was owed this. Stole it from Wikipedia

In 2009, Bob Dylan told The Huffington Post that Prine was one of his favorite writers, stating "Prine's stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs. I remember when Kris Kristofferson first brought him on the scene. 'Sam Stone' featuring the wonderfully evocative line: 'There’s a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, and Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose.'[50] All that stuff about 'Sam Stone', the soldier junkie daddy, and 'Donald and Lydia', where people make love from ten miles away. Nobody but Prine could write like that."

Johnny Cash, in his autobiography Cash, wrote, "I don't listen to music much at the farm, unless I'm going into songwriting mode and looking for inspiration. Then I'll put on something by the writers I've admired and used for years — Rodney Crowell, John Prine, Guy Clark, and the late Steve Goodman are my Big Four ..."

Roger Waters, when asked by Word Magazine in 2008 if he heard Pink Floyd's influence in newer British bands like Radiohead, replied, "I don't really listen to Radiohead. I listened to the albums and they just didn't move me in the way, say, John Prine does. His is just extraordinarily eloquent music — and he lives on that plane with Neil Young and Lennon."

RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor.
I grew up with the Goodies and loved their slapstick (but intelligent) comedy.

RIP Stirling Moss
I’m not a motor sport fan but we’ve lost Stirling Moss today too. The legend who was the best driver never to win the World Championship.

Great people who’ll never be forgotten.

Brian Dennehy at 81. RIP

I always liked him in films and he was versatile too. I will always remember his creepy performance as serial killer John Wayne Gacy. There were many films I can think of but I always liked him with James Woods in Best Seller.

[Noivous]

Brian Dennehy...too bad. I agree Terry a very talented actor. I saw him in a play once. Death of a Salesman. In the lead of course. Phenomenal. RIP.
