I've got a Johnny Cash with Bob Dylan CD that I like alot. Johnny was definately the man. Another favorite is highway man. I religously play that one on the way home from the lake. Don't forget about Waylon and Willie.
Dude it's johnny cash for god sake!!!! Broke Back Mountain is for you, me the Halloween strap on and the chocolates. Don't bring him into this. Best remake ever and right before he died!!! He got rid of his demons http://new.music.yahoo.com/johnny-cash/videos/view/hurt--2156372
He re did NIN and nailed it lol. C'mon Delw give it up for the man that a million other bands have based their music off of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just listened to Hurt. I grew up listening to his music. He made a lot of great songs but this is probably his best ever. I sat with my father watching his shows religousley. Johnny was a great man and June was his rose. There will never be another..as it should be.
Johnny Cash was amazing. Just picked up his final CD the other day.
Kris Kristofferson put in words the best
"He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home."
I met Johnny, June & Tex Ritter at the Dallas airport in about 1963 or 64.I had no idea who he was, but my mom totally freeked out and sent my brother & I after John & Tex into the mens room w/ a pen & paper to get his autograph. I remember standing behind him when he was at the urinal waiting for him to finish his business. Just remember him turning around and looking down on me as he zipped his pants up and said in his low voice ,can I help you boy.He signed & I said thank you sir.I remember he was all in black as always,must have been in his heavy drug days ,tall thin and a kinda of rough acney scared face. Tex had a brown western suit on and June was wearing a brown western outfit.No she was not in the mens room. We had to run to catch our plane.Pretty cool memory once I grew up and listened to his music for years Don`t know how many times I have watched the movie.
I have a Sirius rodie for my boat and whatever else.Just plug into the lighter and you have whatever music you want, including classic country
or that new crap most of you youngsters and my kids listen to.

There will never be another Like Johnny Cash. He created a lot of great music but Hurt was his best song and the best viedo ever. RIP Johnny! How low class to mix Johnny with Brokeback...

I think its funny in that what alot of us grew up on was considered "crap" by our parents. I think all parents think their kids music is "crap". Johnny Cash & Waylon were a style of country & rock n roll that changed alot of the music we hear & enjoy today. Its even better when a younger generation finds what we consider good music, to be good to their ears also.
My Dad watched the Jonny Cash Show religiously. It was our famiily time. We all watched Johnnys shows and those like his in that era. He never missed a Johnny Cash Show!
I was always amazed that my grandparents considered Social Distortion to be good music - then again, Mike Ness has done a lot of Cash and Cash-esque songs.
Reznor gave Cash specific permisson to record his version of Hurt...recorded while Cash was dying...very powerful stuff and one of my all time favorite Cash performances.
That whole cd (American IV) was a strange compilation. "The fifteen songs that follow in this album take fifteen different directions"... Thanks for everything, Mr Cash.
Come on guys lets not forget kris he wrote alot of songs done by other artists.
