.BruceSpringsteen Honors John Prine, Discusses the ‘Suddenly Unsafe World’ on SXMEStreetRadio
eloquently paid tribute to the late John Prine, “a true original,” as part of his guest DJ turn on Sirius XM’s E Street Radio Wednesday morning. “Over here on E Street we are devastated by the loss of John Prine. Not only was he one of our country’s great songwriters, a real national treasure,” he said. “A sweet and lovely man. I was proud to call him my friend. He wrote music with towering passion, great details of ordinary lives. His death just make me angry.
“Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you social distancing, are you staying in your home with your loved ones? I think that’s the question of the year, Are you all right?,” he asked. “If you are by yourself that’s not so bad. I spent 35 years of my life alone in my room and I liked it. My sons are doing that now and they sound pretty happy. They are in no rush to come home. What do you miss? I miss going to Max’s and the Windmill and getting a hot dog.
Springsteen noted that “these days sometimes you can feel like you’re looking out on the edge of the apocalypse,” as a fitting intro to Bob Dylan’s “Beyond Here Lies Nothin’.” He then turned to Jon Bon Jovi, ” a neighbor of mine for a little inspiration,” before playing “Livin’ on a Prayer. “He’s back down in Jersey now.”
He also waxed deep when introducing Don Henley’s “End of Innocence,” which he called “one of my all-time favorites.”
