"After 3 tours of Viet Nam John Prine was one of my saviors. Kris Kristofferson and John Prine rescued me in a basement apartment in Buffalo, NY in 1973-74. Their words brought solace to my wounded soul and made me a better citizen of this country. Thank you both for your service...not in combat but in healing guys like me. The power of songwriters should never be underestimated. RIP Mate!"
