This is the second half of our interview with our friend, the great John Flynn. In this episode, we take a deep dive into his song “Prison Bible.” He talks about the meaning he derives from spending time with people who are, or who have been, in prison. We talk about how a prison bible functions as more than a book; how time in prison can serve as a period of self reflection and self discovery; and how prisoners can be really good listeners.
We were surprised to hear John say that he never really fit into the folk music genre. To us, he is the embodiment of folk music. Maybe there’s some truth to the adage that we are all our own worst critics. In the same vein, weshare an observation about how we all carry the world on our shoulders, but we’re also unable to see our own heads. It’s true.
Here’s the rest of our interview with John Flynn.
