Mad Men actor Joel Murray paid condolences on social media and said, “John Prine could look your depression right in the eye and make you feel like you were doing a little bit better than what he was singing about. For years I’ve been saying “hello in there” to old people on the street, avoiding my eye contact.”
Bill Withers was a milkman. John Prine was a mailman. Essential Blessed Workers.
