John Prine Plays Columbus
Last night my wife and I, along with my father-in-law, saw John Prine perform at Columbus’ Palace Theatre. I had never seen John Prine and when I found out he was coming to Columbus, I jumped at the chance to see him. Prine, who is a life-worn 61 years old, put on a fantastic show at the Palace last night. He played a stream of hits, from up-tempo fun songs like In Spite of Ourselves, to the heart wrenching Hello In There. His voice was strong and emotive, despite being hindered by a nasty cold. The old guy played for two and a half hours straight without a break, and still saved his energy for the final numbers. If you’ve never heard any John Prine, run out and pick up his greatest hits double-album, or the most recent Fair & Square. You won’t be disappointed.
