"Better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool..."
--From Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.
Johhny Cash was one of the cool ones. He lived a hard life in many ways, and his death is not unexpected, but still a reminder to us all of our own mortality. I was glad to hear that he had done some things to resolve some of his family problems in the las few years.
If Steve McQueen was the King of Cool in the movies, Johnny Cash was the King of Cool in the music world.
btw, has everyone heard his version of Ternt Reznor's "Hurt?" Even though JC's voice is rougher, he really nails it. He had us riight until the end.
Today, Johnny's sitting in a saloon, having a drink. He's got a guitar and stool, and heaven just got more interesting...
