Lost Gem: "It's A Big Old Goofy World" - John Prine (1991)
"There's a big old goofy man dancing with a big old goofy girl." ~ John Prine ~ Look up the phrase... kool breeze ...and you're liable to find a picture of John Prine . For over 40 years (and all of my life) John has been a fixture in our household...his timeless songs spinning around every room. A rare artist who taps into all of our everyday frailties without making us feel guilty of our shortcomings. John Prine is an American treasure. A folk singer/songwriter with a catalog of music that inspires, sometimes amuses and always comforts. So familiar a voice, he's become almost a surrogate big brother for me as I go stumbling through adulthood. So it's always a good thing when I get another opportunity to turn someone on to the k ool breeze . Lost Gem:--> "It's A Big Old Goofy World" ...is a gentle and sweet conglomeration of cliched similes effortlessly tied together into a retrospect of life lessons learned. Simple in nature
