I have to admit, I thought I was well versed in music, but......

Posted by Volnelk Apr 7 '20, 20:56

I had no idea who John Prine was.

Also had no idea who Adam Schlesinger was. I knew Fountains of Wayne but I had no idea of the impact either of these guys had on people.

It’s bizarre seeing people that I feel I relate with saying that both of these guys were such huge parts of their lives and yet I had no idea.

I've known Prine forever. Just read that Ebert article and knew all the songs. -- nm - . Apr 7, 23:08

- Like, I have All The Best by John Prine on a lot of mine, but it does not quite go with stuff like Tool. -- nm Posted by Spawn: Oct 6, 2011 -- nm - Spawn Apr 7, 22:51
Same. Didn't know Prine at all or that Schlesinger was influential to so many people -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 21:10 3
- I knew Fountains of Wayne and that he wrote That Thing You Do, but not that he co-wrote almost every song on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. -- nm - Tim Apr 7, 21:52 2
  - And stuff for the Tonys, Emmys... -- nm* - Andie Apr 8, 03:36
  - I knew the band but none of the rest. Such a shame. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 22:35
I'm same with Adam Schlesinger. Prine I've known of since the 70's from the Chicago folk scene. In later years as I came to appreciate songwriters - zunkskunk with the bad take Apr 7, 21:10 1
- As far as I can tell Bonnie Koloc is that last one left of the Chicago folk folk. -- nm - . Apr 7, 23:05
