I have to go into work early, apparently I'm the only one who can operate a bobcat skid loader at my work.
So I am unloading a flatbed semi. It's a minture golf course, in pieces.It's good money and I could really use it to!
Enjoy your day off my brother.
I'm chugging a shake and rolling in a minute.

Whats cool about Johnny Cash is that even though he was an old time legend like Hank and Willie, he was really up to date with his covers. He did great covers of "Personal Jesus", "Rusty Cage" and quite a few others. I love his "Personal Jesus" cover, but theyre all great.
Johnny Cash was my favorite country singer of all time. I mean he made George Straight look average. I remember when I was a little kid and the first time I heard "Ring of Fire" I thought it was John Wayne singing it.
My favorite songs by him are
Ring Of Fire
Boy Named Sue
Folsom Prison
I Walked the Line
He will be missed. RIP man in black.

Was this a remake of the 50s song. You know that goes like:
"I'm the type of guy that never settles down I move around from town to town and when I find myself falling for some girl well I hope right in that car of mine and drive around the world because I am the wanderer yea the wanderer I roam around around aroun."
Man, that is my favorite 50s song. Is that won you referring too?
"Sunday morning coming down" not sure if I ever heard that one I will check it out.

Nah, different tune. It's on U2's Zooropa, goes like this
I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering
I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it
I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name
I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents
I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering
I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye

anya said:JC dying feels like a death in the family for me. Listen to his Folsom Prision album...that guy was hardcore. He never got old, just his body did. He was as contemporary in 2003 as he was in 1965.
I hope he hasnt fallen down, down, down into a burning of fire.
No doubt. I hope he was a Christian.

Johnny Cash will be missed. I was out at a bar last night and his cover of Hurt came on, I couldn't imagine that he would be dead by morning. Seems so much more significant now.
Yeah, I first heard that song when I watched the German film Faraway, So Close. Pretty appropriate to the movie.

Obituary
"To call him a country star is to call a Ferrari an adequate car. " - nme.com
http://www.nme.com/news/106157.htm
JOHNNY CASH, one of the towering titans of modern music, died today (September 12) in NASHVILLE. He was 71.
Cash’s passing should be mourned like that of Elvis Presley. His influence on contemporary music is as great and far-reaching.
To call him a country star is to call a Ferrari an adequate car. He was a country singer, a folk singer, a brooding, rugged outlaw who wrestled with life’s big questions and brought dignity and strength and a timeless grace to everything he touched. He became a voice for the disenfranchised and the working man – hence the Man in Black. He shaped the career of Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and countless others. He was a core influence on U2, White Stripes, Queens Of The Stone Age, Slipknot, Coldplay, The Strokes – in fact just about anyone who wanted their music to remain on the mean side, with hips and swagger and truth.
Cash was born on February 26, 1932, the middle of seven children, in a shack in Kingsland, Arkansas. His family moved to a cotton sharecroppers co-operative in Dyeus in 1934. He grew up working the land. The things he saw and the life he lived shaped the man and his songs.
In 1944, his elder brother Jack was killed in an accident in a sawmill. Cash mourned him for the rest of his life.
After a stint in the US army, he got his first record contract with Sam Phillips' Sun Records in 1955. For a brief time, Cash, , Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins were a peerless quartet for the fledging label. They were there when rock and roll was birthed. In 1956, he scored his first hit with ‘I Walk The Line’, a song that was to become a signature tune. By then, a hectic work schedule – over 300 live shows a year - had pushed him towards amphetamines. He fought addiction for the rest of his life.
His second wife, June Carter Cash, pulled him out of the fire a few times. She was his soulmate and his guide. He frequently said that she kept him alive. Her death earlier this year was a surprise. Cash was the man afflicted with ill health, with countless bouts of pneumonia and the Parkinson’s Disease-like Shy-Drager Syndrome. His wife was not expected to go first. Though it had been reported that Cash had thrown himself into his work as a way of coping, it’s clear that he never recovered from her death. It was too much and it broke his heart.
Through the 60's he scored hit after hit. He recorded ‘Live At Folsom Prison’ and ‘Live At San Quentin’, two fierce albums that cemented his image as the outsider. He made huge rating TV shows, he fought for the rights of the American Indians, he picked up a Grammy, he campaigned against the Vietnam War. He was humanist but a devout Christian who counted televangelist Billy Graham as a close friend. He was a man of great contradictions.
His career waned in the 70's and lower still in the 80's. He spent much of the late part of the Eighties touring with The Highwaymen – Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings.
In 1994 he was reborn. Rick Rubin realised that one of the most distinctive voices of the 20th Century was being allowed to go to seed. He offered to record Cash, without ridiculous over–production, without studio trickery. ‘American Recordings’ delivered Cash to whole new audience. It was a dark, intense tour de force. Three more albums followed – each littered with curious covers of the songs of Beck, Danzig, U2, Will Oldham, each better than the last.
It’s fitting that ‘Hurt’, honoured with a Grammy and at the MTV Video Music Awards, will be remembered as his swansong. He took Nine Inch Nails' confused paean to drug addiction and made it a King Lear-like rage at the dying of the light.
It takes a heart of stone not to cry big wet tears watching it and thinking about Cash, the legend now gone. He will never be bettered.
