Had never really given him the time of day.
But today I saw the light and the man in black emerged from that light.
The man is a legend and he was in my opinion, the first Punk! |

I think Jerry Lee Lewis was the first punk.
Speaking of Johnny Cash I recall a story that I think took place at a early rock and roll hall of fame dinner. Keith goes in to take a piss and ends up pissing next to Johnny. Keith yelled "get a camera I'm taking a piss next to Johnny Cash". Then I guess Johnny said something to the effect of "no way Keith". |

You hear the word "giant" used to describe a lot of notable persons. Few live up to the term. Johnny Cash dwarfs it.

johnny cash just 'is' he's like dylan in that respect any attempt to quantify him is futile, his effect will be felt for decades. The stones were in this catergory pre 89 and would have stayed there if not for the reformation.

Oh bullshit. The Stones are up in the pantheon no matter what they do. That's why they do what they do. Any group that comes along these days that has any heat automatically draws comaprisons to the Stones. |

Stars line up for June Carter Tribute
By Jonathan Cohen Feb 16, 2007,
monstersand critics.com
Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris and Brad Paisley are among the stars appearing on the June Carter Cash tribute album 'Anchored in Love,' due June 19 via Dualtone. The release will coincide with a biography of the same name penned by Cash`s son John.
With the exception of Ralph Stanley, who recorded "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" at the southwest Virginia home of the Carter Family, 'Anchored in Love' was recorded throughout 2006 on the Cash family property in Hendersonville, Tenn.
On it, Costello tackles the iconic "Ring of Fire," while Nelson and Crow team up for a duet on "If I Were a Carpenter." Carter Cash`s stepdaughter Rosanne performs the spiritual "Wings of Angels" and Lynn offers a version of "Wildwood Flower."
Carter Cash died May 15, 2003, after complications from heart surgery.
Here is the unsequenced song list for 'Anchored in Love':
'If I Were a Carpenter,' Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson
'Jackson,' Carlene Carter and Ronnie Dunn
'Wildwood Flower,' Loretta Lynn
'Far Side Banks of Jordan,' Patty Loveless and Kris Kristofferson
'Keep On the Sunny Side,' Brad Paisley
'Wings of Angels,' Rosanne Cash
'Ring of Fire,' Elvis Costello
'Road to Kaintuck,' Billy Bob Thornton and the Peasall Sisters
'Big Yellow Peaches,' Grey De Lisle
'Kneeling Drunkard Plea,' Billy Joe Shaver
'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,' Ralph Stanley
'Song to John,' Emmylou Harris

I don't entirely agree, but I do see when oldkr is coming from in regard to the Stones diminishing credibility. They sell out concerts, 40 Licks sold bucket loads, but they really, they exist only to tour and earn mega bucks and I think critics have lost respect for them because of it.
Back to the man in black. Yeah, he's cool and well done Voodoo Scrounge for giving him a go. It took me long enough too!

It's weird, but it seems like Cash's legacy has become more powerful in death then compared to when he was alive
He's kinda like Obi Wan Kenobi

Yesterday would have been Cash's 75th birthday. They played his music all day on the radio here in corn country. |

i think alot of the buzz about Cash lately has alot to do with the movie that came out last year, I thought Phoenix did a spectacular job and the movie as a whole was great, learned alot about JC i never knew...
i just bought the live at Folsom CD, its pretty damm good |

Not so sure about that. If you take that view, the damage was done long before '89. Splitting the difference, I'd argue there was indeed damage done to the legacy, and that the '90s helped reverse some of it. |
