Johnny Cash - Hurt
I'm not feeling too well, nothing serious, just a sore throat and a few aches and pains. Plus, an interesting project that I've just heard of, and want to keep schtum about, for the time being has appeared over the horizon. Hence no original content today, and since my 46th birthday.
I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a work colleague about Johnny Cash, a day or so. "If you're serious about music, you have to have some Johnny Cash in your collection". He was right, after listening to a lot of his stuff on youtube I've ordered some cds from Amazon.co.uk.
Here's my favourite Johnny Cash video. It upsets me everytime I view, or listen to it. The NIN original is excellent, but this is the definiative version in my book. Very evocative and poignant.

I'm feeling much better now, just as well really, it's been back to work time.
I'm gonna have to take some piccies, I feel I'm letting the side down.

I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like Johnny Cash, but I think I prefer his older stuff. Just this once Dr John sent me.

I'm continually amazed at how my musical tastes are maturing along with me... I, too, rejected Johnny Cash (and the rest of that ilk) because my parents liked him. Thank goodness I've grown up now, though, or I'd truly be missing out.
By the way, I've stumbled on over at the behest of Dr. John.

This song has meant so much to so many people. Cash was indeed, a true legend.
Stopping by and singing "I'll Fly Away" with Dr. John upon his magical dragon.

Wow, wasn't expecting this response. I'm going to have to thank Dr John, as well as everyone who commented.
As to Johnny Cash, well my music arrived today, playing the cd now. Brings back so many memories.

another straggler from Dr. John's...I remember when I was about 10 years old Johnny Cash's song "Burning Ring of Fire" was popular. We used to have the best time singing it in the car with my stepmom when we went places.

I never really thought Johnny Cash had much of a voice or even cared for his music, but as a man I thought he was nice.Here by way of Dr John.

Johnny Cash was a music staple in my home. Grand Ol' Opry, Hee Haw, The Porter Waggonner Show ....
I wonder if Dr. John likes Johnny Cash?
