Fire destroys Johnny Cash's house
I have to admit choking up somewhat when i heard this story on the TV this morning, not something a Johnny Cash fan wants to wake up to hear :(
"It was a sanctuary and a fortress for him," neighbour Country sartist Marty Stuart said. "There was a lot of writing that took place there. The Folsom Prison prison record came from there, the San Quentin record, The Holy Land, the Man in Black book came from there."

And, freakily, Last.fm decides, as I'm writing this, to play Johnny Cash's brilliant cover of Hurt, which of course featured the house quite heavily in the video (which i'd link to, except Youtube seems to have gone down)
