Damn. JC's been dead 10 years today

[the G-man]

When you consider the length of the career, the quality of the output and the influence on others, an argument can be made that Johnny Cash is the musician of the 20th century.

Probably the best cover song I've ever heard. The Video makes it more poignant. Can't believe it's been 10 years.

That was a hell of a week, Johnny Cash and Warren Zevon both.

My uncle once told me, if somebody you like comes to town, even if you have to work the next day, can barely afford it or whatever, GO. Because you may not get the chance again. That advice has proven its worth a number of times, but probably the one I'm most grateful for was seeing Johnny and June Carter Cash in 1997.

One thing that always impressed me about Cash was how he worked with such a wide range of other artists and was always pleased to give them the spotlight. One of my favorite JC duets, with his sister-in-law, the wonderful Anita Carter:

What makes it better, Johnny was relevant throughout his career, as opposed to just hanging around.

IIRC, after seeing that video Trent Reznor said "it's his song now."

Jesus Christ? I think he's been dead a lot longer than that.

Yeah I also thought he pretty much owned the JC moniker

It's like the cover songs. When Johnny Cash does it, he makes it his.
