Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

One of my favorite John Prine songs. The video for the song is funny too.

That is the anthem of my 30-year-plus marriage!

RIP, John Prine. We will think about you often--as we always have.

The GREATEST love song ever written. Ever. But you have to go through 20 or 30 years with someone to understand. And I don’t mean maybe.

That song made me smile.

That's such a sweet, cute love song! A classic and a good reason to listen to every other John Prine song!

Great song - had never heard that one. I love the way they both grin during “against all odds, we’re the big door prize”. Typical Prine: funny, charming, and real, that’s what he did better than anyone.

"Grandpa Was a Carpenter" is one of my favorites, too! I have that on a vinyl album, believe it or not.
