"Johnny Cash Is Really The Best" or "This Other Title Is Also Johnny Cash Praise"

Look at this man. This man is a bad ass, a hard ass, and everything in between. (*He is not an ass.)

I've always connected to different people, people I've never met: Luciano Pavarotti, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen... These are people who I've never met and never will, but people that I admire and respect, and will always find something kind to say about them.

Recently, I found this. Now 'this' is The Johnny Cash Project, a fan-made final video for Mr. Cash. Now when I say 'fan-made video,' I don't mean parts of that Final Fantasy Crisis Core with Breaking Benjamin behind it, I mean like each individual frame is given the love and care a tribute to Johnny Cash deserves.

The first link I've got there has a link to a short documentary about the Project, and it gives a sense of the amount of people that the mans music has touched. So fuck all y'all, this thread is for discussing Johnny Cash.

A decade ago, we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash.

Nowadays we have no jobs, no hope, and no cash.

I hate you. I hate you because that's so pessimistic and I love it.

Don't hate him, hate the guy who actually came up with it.

I love this man and I love his music and I miss him dearly.

That's all I can really say on the matter.

Not being a particular country music fan I have to give Johnny Cash intense props for exceeding the genre and actually writing music about something. This can be said of many artists in many genres but this man simply had a gift for confronting the darkness of life and fighting it with song. Never winning perhaps, but always fighting.

Cash was amazing, his music is still amazing, the commercial for the video project made me smile when I first saw them, and his life story is pretty darn interesting.

I was not really sure what to "discuss", as these are all non-debatable facts, so I just dumped out a general sentence.

I don't usually care for country, but Johnny Cash breaks rules left and right, so what the fuck, right?

Yeah, I guess we could also discuss his problems with drugs and the larger problem of artists struggling with addictions, but I doubt too many people want to open that can of worms.

Or we could talk about the lack of resemblance atwixt Johnny Cash and Joquain Phoenix.
