Crappy end to a crappy week.......

[AustinDawg]

This has been a totally forgettable week for me, and now the coup de gras', my man Johnny Cash, dead at 71.

John Cash Dead at 71

Through this man's lyrics and ballads, he epitomized one inerrant theme - humanity. I tip my hat to the classics:

Ring of Fire
I walk the Line
Ballad of Ira Hayes
Boy Named Sue
Man in Black
Ghost Riders in the Sky
Sunday Morning Coming Down
and his own "Requeim" -- HURT

An Arkansas boy and former Louisiana Hayride star, his "signature move" was one of the coolest things I've ever seen on stage. With back turned to the audience, he would wheel around with his crooked smile and belt out in his unique baritone voice, "Hello...I'm Johnny Cash".

Damn, I'm gonna miss him.

John Ritter also died yesterday

Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire was co-written by a graduate of "The City of Byrd."

You forgot "Cocaine Blues..." by TJ Arnall

Which I think is one of his best songs of all time...

Only ARTIST to be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, Country Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame...

Very sad. But when June died a few weeks back, I had a feeling Johnny didnt have much longer.

We were all thinking football on Aug.28, but Johnny also won a MTV Video Award! Say what you will about the legitimacy of those "awards", but you have to acknowledge his cross-generational appeal.

Certainly a great American.

AMEN TO ALL OF THE ABOVE.......Thank God for recorded music so his music and style can live on.........now June and Johnny are back together again....

Oh, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.

The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.
