1. Yeah. It sucks alright. |

I always liked this one. We listened to a lot of JC when I was but a wee lad growing up.
At my door the leaves are falling A cold wild wind has come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone
I go out on a party And look for a little fun But I find a darkened corner because I still miss someone
Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes I see them every where I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry For leavin' what we'd begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone

Still miss it...and because of it--and him, "A Boy Named Sue" will forever be etched upon my brain.
Never forget that intro of his: "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash"--in that awesome, low voice.
It's sad, really, how so many in Nashville valued only glitz over real substance, and depth. It was funny, indeed--and, true to his life and music, also a bit tragic--when Johnny's record label felt the need to take out that ad in Billboard this summer, showing the picture of a young Johnny giving the finger to record company execs who thought he was too "risky"--the same people Sam Phillips, who also left us recently, thumbed his nose at when he and Sun Records took performers deemed too edgy for the uptight 50s, and helped them become legends--people like Johnny, and a young man named Elvis. :eyes:

19. The first country gothic. |

He looked great in black. Yet seemed to carry a very soft side.

3. fond fare thee well to the man in black |

You are certainly one of the great spirits, a man who walked like a man, stood up for what he believed, and carried the fight to those who would have us live in tyranny.
You'll be missed, but never forgotten.

10. He never did "Walk the Line" |
|
Which made him so great. I'm really not surprised. I didn't think he'd last too long after June died. They were a great team.

12. I thought the same thing |
|
I was quite surprised when she went first.
They say women live longer after their husband dies and that men often die quickly after their wife dies. My experience is that this is basically true, I know many elderly widows but not too many elderly widowers. I wonder why that is?

14. I grew up on Johnny CAsh - he was one of the true greats |
|
And he will be missed.
I check in with DU today and discover that John Ritter is dead. And then I find that Johnny Cash has also gone. Some days it just doesn't pay to find out what's happening. :-(

Approxamately the same time he:
Was asked to sing on the Nasville Skyline album by Bob Dylan, which he did.
He put out a song called "What is Truth", which had the reoccuring theme in it:
"Can you blame the voice of youth for asking, What is truth?"
I bet those two collaboration was shaking the very foundations of the deep south.
Alan Jackson and Toby Keith could take a lesson or ten from Johnny Cash and that is, you don't have to be a badass to command respect from your peers. The Man in Black never had too. He probably had a great amount of mutual respect from everyone from Red Foley to Snoop Dogg. That's saying something.

I wish I had bought his last recordings - its supposed to be great. It would have been more respectgul to buy them while he was living and have enjoyed them then, to buy them in honor of him now. I have a lot of his old music, some of the recent stuff, but dammit, now I am going to feel guilty for not having bought the recent stuff. He will be missed, and Country has lost its spiritual center.

Bono spoke today about the legendary American singer Johnny Cash, who has died aged 71.
‘I considered myself a friend, he considered me a fan - he indulged me. He showed me around his house, his ranch, his zoo (seriously, he had a zoo in Nashville), his faith, his musicianship - it was a lot to take in.’
‘He was more than wise. In a garden full of weeds - the oak tree.’

22. More Bono on Cash, from a while back |
|
Every man knows he’s a sissy compared to John Cash. What most do not know is that this most mighty of men was once nearly slain by an emu. I know this because Johnny told me on a tour of his ranch. I felt a lot better about myself as a man on hearing this.
