I've been a fan of John Prine's music since I first got interested in music at all and it is great that over recent years his own countrymen have recognised his greatness too.
The song I've chosen to share today is not so deep and meaningful as many he has written, but it is full of heart and affection for it's subjects, a decidedly blue collar couple bereft (or robbed?) of very high aspirations. Still, they get by, have a little fun where they can find it and love each other. Hopefully it will make you grin as much as it does me!
For what it's worth, the line that makes me smile most is "He drinks his beer like its oxygen"...fantastic.
