Today is Johnny Cash’s 71st birthday. If you haven’t checked out his latest album, The Man Comes Around (which was reviewed by my Loquacious Sister), you’re missing a real treat. The title track and Johnny’s cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Hurt are worth the price of the entire disk, and the rest of the disk is very good.

Johnny Cash is an American music treasure. He’s been playing Country music with Folk sensibility and Rock and Roll attitude since the middle 1950s. He was the first artist admitted to both the Country and Rock Halls of Fame. The only other person to match this feat is Elvis Presley, but The Man In Black beat E to it.

Happy birthday, John R. Cash.

To commemorate Mr. Cash’s birthday I’m going to dress entirely in black. It was either that or shoot a man in Reno.
