@vanwinkle.bsky.socialBlow up your TV! Born on this day in 1946: the great John Prine.

@vanwinkle.bsky.socialThanks for spreading to word my friend. Much appreciated.
@garivers.bsky.socialReposted by @vanwinkle.bsky.social🔥Y’all need to read this kick ass story, Folks. A radio play. A novella. Call it what you will but it’s a heckuva good read. Why I gave it 5 stars on Amazon and Goodreads.🔥
@vanwinkle.bsky.socialShe didn’t say this about my book, but she might if she’d read it. (It’s Virginia Woolf talking about James Joyce’s ULYSSES). Happy Friday all you seasick sailors.

@vanwinkle.bsky.socialThat's not a quote about my book. It's Jim Harrison using a Whitman line to talk about Larry McMurtry's All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers. But good writers did say good things about my book. See for yourself?
Happy Friday, y'all.

And they had a pocket gone in back
