Month long meme: Day 001 ⇒ Your Favorite Song

Aug 10, 2010 12:22

Not only is Johnny Cash the man, I don't give a fuck what you say, but this just proves he's the single greatest musician that ever walked this planet. Elvis couldn't cover Soundgarden and make it work like that, point blank and period.

what: music, what: month long meme, who: johnny cash, what: nobody's better than cash so shut

No doubt. You can't argue with the Man In Black.

Damn straight. Don't get me wrong, Elvis was a nice boy with a good voice, but Cash is the fucking King. Nobody argues with me on that point, I make sure of it.

You won't get any arguments from me, but then, I've never been that much of an Elvis fan.

Caught 'em both once or twice when they were running in the same circles. Two men I'd have loved to meet, I tell you what.

"Hurt" is a really good song, too.

You know Cash? Really?

thebriar_rose August 10 2010, 21:20:15 UTC

Um, a little? I like his voice. It's like...hardship and memory and sadness, all come alive.

"Because you're mine...I walk the line..."

...Wow. I don't think I ever met anyone who felt that, too.

Have you heard "Folsom Prison Blues" yet? I did a couple months during the Sixties, and that song...it got me through my time, and it nearly killed me. And that one, "Walk The Line," it's the story of my love life.

Sorry, I don't mean to gush, I just...I really love Johnny Cash.
