Cash's voice seemed to come from Everyman's soul
Yesterday was September 11th, and last night Johnny Cash died. 71 years old. The Minneapolis / St. Paul Star Tribune speaks in epic terms:
"Love and lust, anger and despair, God and country - his songs touched every acre of landscape that is the human experience."
Cash recorded "1,500 songs found on some 500 albums." He played with Elvis when he was 20 years old. Bought his first guitar at 15. When Justin Timberlake dies, do you think they will write about him in the Bangkok Post and the BBC?
If only John Ritter could have waited a few more days to die. I've been disappointed to see people join reverent conversations about Cash with "yeah and John Ritter died too." Fuck John Ritter. You can't put Three's Company is the same league as American III.
