Adios Johnny. Thanks for the great music.

[ComradeJunichi]

Oh my god, I can't believe he died. I knew he was going to die soon but..that's suprising..sorta.

I just got a poster of Johnny two days ago.

Rest in peace, you are the first bad ass.

You know, I'm a natural-born Southerner and I have never listened to Johnny Cash. That is so weird.. :(

RIP Johnny, Wesley, Gregory, Barry, and now JOHN RITTER as well :( Jesus!

[Valkyrie]

johnny Cash is probably the first music i ever heard. I practically grew up on it, thanks to my guitar-playing old man.



Man In Black
By: John R. Cash, © 1971 House of Cash, Inc.
Recorded February 16, 1971
Number 3 - Country Charts; Number 58 - Pop Charts


Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.
I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.
I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.
Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

Folsom Prison Blues
By: John R. Cash; © 1956 Hi Lo Music
Recorded 1/13/68; Number 1 - Country Charts; Number 32 - Pop Charts


I hear the train a comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a movin', and that's what tortures me.
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

Ring Of Fire
Written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore
Recorded by Johnny Cash on 3/25/63
Number one - County Chart; Number 17 - Pop Chart



Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

The Ring Of Fire

I couldn&#39;t stop hearing about it. The Seattle radio talked about it nonstop this morning.

It sucks, though. After the death of his wife, he kind of lost his will to live. :(

[Urban Rubble]

Ah, that explains it, I fucking hate Seattle radio.

Speaking of, do you ever listen to the T-Man ? That guy is so damn funny. He&#39;s on KUBE 93 (shitty hip hop station) in the morning. I think he is one of the funniest people on the planet.

[Marxist in Nebraska]

The music world lost a legend today. I love "Man in Black" and "One Piece at a Time."

One Piece at a Time

Well, I left Kentucky back in &#39;49
An&#39; went to Detroit workin&#39; on a &#39;sembly line
The first year they had me puttin&#39; wheels on cadillacs

Every day I&#39;d watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I&#39;d hang my head and cry
&#39;Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I&#39;d sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin&#39; caught meant gettin&#39; fired
But I figured I&#39;d have it all by the time I retired
I&#39;d have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS
I&#39;d get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn&#39;t cost me a dime
You&#39;ll know it&#39;s me when I come through your town
I&#39;m gonna ride around in style
I&#39;m gonna drive everybody wild
&#39;Cause I&#39;ll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn&#39;t miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an&#39; bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy&#39;s mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
&#39;Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that&#39;s when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a &#39;53
And the motor turned out to be a &#39;73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin&#39; just like a song
Now the headlight&#39; was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of &#39;em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that&#39;s when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin&#39; for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn&#39;t laugh
&#39;Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

CHORUS
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn&#39;t cost me a dime
You&#39;ll know it&#39;s me when I come through your town
I&#39;m gonna ride around in style
I&#39;m gonna drive everybody wild
&#39;Cause I&#39;ll have the only one there is around.

(Spoken) Ugh&#33; Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it&#39;s cheaper that way
Ugh&#33;, what model is it?

Well, It&#39;s a &#39;49, &#39;50, &#39;51, &#39;52, &#39;53, &#39;54, &#39;55, &#39;56
&#39;57, &#39;58&#39; 59&#39; automobile
It&#39;s a &#39;60, &#39;61, &#39;62, &#39;63, &#39;64, &#39;65, &#39;66, &#39;67
&#39;68, &#39;69, &#39;70 automobile.

[Indysocialist]

Ring of Fire is just one of those songs I&#39;ve always known. It sucks to see him go. First Wesley, now this...FUCK&#33;

[synthesis]

My friend woke me up at five o&#39;clock this morning to inform me of this news. I did cry.

I&#39;ve been listening to Johnny Cash since I was two. His life is the epitome of tragedy and the ability to conquer these tragedies.

R.I.P. Johnny, the music scene sucks without you.

[Lefty]

Yup. I wore all black today, and I&#39;m planning on wearing all black tomorrow. And for the next week. Because Johnny Cash was just that damn cool. When I heard the news, I played "Ring of Fire" very loudly, and the people in the houses surrounding mine came out of their houses and we had an impromptu Cash-fest in memory of the original bad ass. I&#39;ve been listening to Cash all my life, and I will continue to do so. This week SUCKED. Warren Zevon AND Johnny Cash...damn.
