Springsteen on Prine


“John Prine was a sweet and lovely man, and I was proud to count him as my friend,” he said during his DJ set on SirusXM’s E Street Radio. “He wrote music of towering compassion with an almost unheard of precision and creativity when it came to observing the fine details of ordinary lives. He was a writer of great humor, funny, with wry sensitivity. It has marked him as a complete original.”

“His death just makes me angry,” he continued. “He was simply one of the best we had, and we will miss him.” He then played his 1971 classic “Angel From Montgomery.”
