Andrew Calhoun's "Goin' Down To See John Prine" is the only one I can locate. A segment of his lyrics:
"... At the folkie's Sunday softball, for weeks they had it plannedThe song is on Andrew's "Tiger Tattoo" release.
John would come to play a game with his entire band
I had my year-old son there, we had brought him down to see
A man who just ignored him, and barely noticed me
He was out of shape and shouting, like his good time wasn't real
Then he headed out for a private thing with the boys in center field
And I wished it didn't matter, and I wished I didn't care
Just my tough luck to love someone who wasn't really there
On a sunny summer afternoon, for me the game was blown
Who'd believe this strung-out fool was the man who wrote "Sam Stone"? ...
Here's a version:
