Philadelphia Folk Festival 2004 - "I wrote this song about 35 years ago... then I had it stuffed and I hung up above my mantle... I think it outlived its usefulness, then. Every once in a while I put some little Lemon Pledge on it and just dust it off a little bit. Within the last year or so I got a letter from the President of the United States, asking for this song. Seems he got nostalgic for his draft-dodging days."

2. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!! I played it 5 times so far. Flags and

religion are what this presidency and the republicans used to get into this dirty war.

3. Some Humans Ain't Human

When I saw him last summer and he sang Some Humans Ain't Human I had to cheer out loud when he got to:
Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

The guy in the crew cut in front of me turned around and gave me a nasty look but he kept his mouth shut because he knew he was vastly out numbered. The theater was filled with my fellow war protesters.

This song is on his Fair and Square CD

The song for this thread is on his John Prine CD at:

4. I was a there when he played it at Bonnaroo in June 05 ...

... just as he started talking about the song, a giant thunderclap let out and it started pouring down rain, as if G*d herself was listening and agreeing with what Prine was saying.

The crowd went nuts. It was awesome! :applause: :patriot: :smoke:
