Readers respond to our coverage of the COVID-19-forced 'Saturday Night Live' not-live 'SNL,' the new mobile phone entertainment platform Quibi, the death of musician John Prine, LACMA's teardown and the coronavirus effect on arts and entertainment.
I was a teenager who was strongly influenced by Bob’s opinion of John Prine. At the Mariposa Folk Festival in 1972, in the middle of the day, I saw Prine standing alone, holding his guitar case, and I was starstruck. What do I say to him? So I walked up and said, “I’m from L.A., John, and Robert Hilburn really raves about you.”
Wow, Bob, they mentioned you in a movie. Then he tells us that he called it on Kris Kristofferson too. And that segues into, “I was the first on the block to know how good John was.”
