In this video, I dive into the profound genius of John Prine and Tom Waits. Over the years, friends had told me about John Prine's greatness, but it wasn't until recently that I truly listened. While enjoying a few cold ones, I stumbled upon "Hello in There" by John Prine, a song that hit me right in the soul. It's astonishing to think he was only 24 when he wrote such a beautiful and profound song about an old man reflecting on his life.

This experience reminded me of another timeless tune, "Martha" by Tom Waits. I've spent many evenings drinking and smoking while listening to this song. Like Prine, Waits was in his early twenties when he wrote it. Both songs share a common thread – young men capturing the depth and emotion of old souls.
