"Johnny Cash"

Haven't listened to much of him, but what I've heard I love and I'm interested in more. Where's a good place to start?

Word

Why don't people realise that saying "so" in such a fashion makes any opinion they express void?

I've got the Folsom Prison boot, and it's pretty damn good.

You should be able to find it knocking around somewhere.

he's got so many albums out that it's probably a better idea to get a "best of" and then get "Unchained" and his later albums.

his work with The Highwaymen was worth a listen too, although it is somewhat diluted, as collaborations tend to be.

Wow, that's like, so cool man.

It is if you've paid for a full page ad just to give someone the finger.

That's a fantasic facial expression.

I bet pixar have that image under the "f*** you" reference.

To give an entire industry the finger takes some balls. Hardly heard any Cash, and what I have heard I wasn't keen on. But you've got to respect someone for sticking by their guns. If he'd given in and gone down the road of mainstream music for his genre, he wouldn't have as many fans as he does. From what I understand he has a similar attitude to Bill Hicks, and that's to have an opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

I liked that tune of his at the beggining of the Dawn fo the Dead remake.

Can't say I've heard any of his other stuff as far as I know.
