fjp451Doug Spaulding: Do me a favor!
If on May 13 your enjoyment of the concert with Mr. Prine allows you to get "up close" and say "Hello!" and shake his hand, please share with him how our coast to coast exchanges have brought a true fan to his side.
I drove some long back roads this weekend. John Prine playing, trees in blossom, geese flying, fields greening...perfect - as far as my simple needs sometimes require.
Tell him "God Bless." He is a gentleman and an Artist who is appreciated here and now and for years to come!

dandelionCaught some of the TCM showing of
Gone with the Wind!
Thirty-six years ago I attended high school with one of the world's biggest know-it-alls named Jim. He would insist on such things as, for instance, Randolph Mantooth's family were all circus performers. You could repeat till you were blue in the face that they were pipeline construction workers but he just wouldn't have it.
One of his favorite tropes was that everyone in
Gone with the Wind was dead. It didn't matter how often or insistently I flat-out contradicted and disagreed with this fallacy. For Olivia de Havilland's July 1 100th birthday, I want to say one thing:
GUESS WHAT! SHE'S NOT DEAD, JIM!
