And one of my favorite John Prine songs is "The Late John Garfield Blues."

Sample verse:

"Midnight fell on Franklin Street
and the streetlamp bulbs were broke
for the life of me I could not see
but i heard a brand new joke:
Two men were standing upon a bridge
one jumped and screamed 'You lose!"
And just left the odd man holding
Those late John Garfield Blues."
