Winter Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 weird - randomly stumbled across two john prine references in like 30 seconds. he was awesome - but he doesn't sound the same anymore. still worth seeing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 My memory has it this was the first Prine tune heard by me: [video:youtube] Levon Helm as a member of The Band performing in concert with Jesse Colin Young and CSN&Y in Toronto, 1974, was part of a milestone experience and holds fast within me. Hearing either of their voices & tunes typically produces in me a sympathetic olfactory sensation of burning rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dechristo Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 It was an allusion to a time when the phrase, "it smells like burnin' rope in here", was common in the lexicon of Officers of the Law...and hemp rope was in common use.
