I really like his music.

A few months ago, one of the news shows had a segment on contract riders for backstage accomodations of musicians. Stuff like VanHalen's dressing room had to be stocked with M&Ms --with the brown ones removed; and the Rolling Stones demanded a snooker table (not a pool table). Many of these go on for pages.

For Johnny Cash’s dressing room?

Running water, chair, toilet, paper towels and a mirror.

I was a Johnny Cash fan when I was a kid and really enjoyed seeing his recent comeback. Didn't June Cash die just a month or so ago?

Damn

I'll be playing his music all day today.

I love songs about horses, railroads, land, judgment day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.

Johnny was a legend among legends. His music was so original. Can't say enough about my respect and admiration for his songs. Another one gone. ~~Johnny.~~

Funny how I'm not a big fan of country music, but always liked Johnny Cash. I guess he was just one of those few people who you couldn't help but like. One of the last of a dying breed.

I don't want no aggravation
When my train has left the station
If you're there or not, I may not even know
Have a round and remember
Things we did that weren't so tender
Let the train blow the whistle when I go

On my old guitar sell tickets
So someone can finally pick it
And tell the girls down at the Ritz
I said hello
Tell the gossipers and liars
I will see them in the fire
Let the train blow the whistle when I go
Let her blow, let her blow

Long and loud and hard and happy
Let her blow
No regrets, all my debts will be paid
When I get laid
Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow

You'll be left without excuses
For the evils and abuses
Down to today from years and years ago
And have yourself another toke
From my basket full of smoke
And let the train blow the whistle when I go

Let her blow, let her blow
Long and loud and hard and happy
Let her blow
No regrets, all my debts will be paid
When I get laid
Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow

I can't think of a single person I know that does not like Cash.
