John Prine and Hal Willner made enormous contributions to culture
Willner died Tuesday at the age of 64. He had symptoms consistent with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, though he had not been officially diagnosed. Jimmy Fallon also paid tribute to Willner on Tuesday."He was the show's spiritual connection to the past. The 1970s gritty New York vibe just radiated off Hal," the host continued."He loved to tell you how boring New York City was today compared to what it was like in the '70s.
"I loved John Prine from the first time I heard him, but I didn't think he was cool because he was my parents' favorite and his first album was just him sitting on a bale of hay," said Meyers."But as I've gotten older, I realized John Prine is cool because every cool person I know loves John Prine." "My kids love John Prine and I think there's something really special, something that says and speaks to exactly how unique John was as a singer-songwriter, that his songs could work across generations," he said."One of the reasons I love him so much is because when I listen to John Prine, I think about the people I love, and that's a really special thing."
He then reflected on interviewing Prine, performing for him with John Dickerson and even getting to sing with Prine himself.
