Especially the nomination of John Prine. I've long maintained he is the most underrated songwriter ever. I think what amazes me most about his work is how he does so much with plain-spoken language and 3 or 4 chords.<br /><br />Ever hear the story about Prine's early career? Perhaps apocryphal but a great story nonetheless:<br />Back when Prine was a mailman in Chicago he'd go to various open mike nights at music clubs. He'd have a few (or more) drinks and begin heckling an unfortunately untalented aspiring singer/songwriter until he got an "okay smartass, you think YOU can do any better?!"<br />And then Prine would get up and do "Sam Stone" and "Hello in There" and "Angel from Montgomery" and "Six O'clock News" etc. etc. and blow everybody away.<br /><br />Ooops sorry.
