I'm not making an appeal to authority (or to hipness), but I do find it interesting that Johnny Cash sang what would be a goofy Christian hymn if performed by an old lady with a pipe organ. But hey, it's Johnny Cash, so it's cool. He's hardcore. (Thanks to Aristos for sending me the JC CDs.)
Here is video of the late Johnny Cash performing, "Ragged Old Flag" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," at the 100th anniversary rededication of the Statue of Liberty on July 4, 1986.
This is America. Good men and women have lived and worked and fought and died for this dream. If you don't love it and all it stands for, has stood for throughout the years, then get the hell out. We don't want you here. Johnny Cash Ragged Old Flag
Happy Independence Day to all of my fellow American folk! I wish that I had more pictures to share with you, but alas, Matt still has the nice camera on tour in California, so this photo will have to suffice! Do you like my 4th get up? It's missing the red cowboy hat that I was sporting this morning, but I'm still feeling festive in my white country girl dress. Today my dad and I left the house early...
I'll skip the usual complaints about "The Star Spangled Banner" and jump right to the eternally popular question: If Francis Scott Key's martial ballad were deposed as the national theme song, what would you want to replace it? Enter your suggestions in the comment thread below. You can call for as many replacements as you want -- the nation survived for more than a century without a single,...
I’ve unearthed some surprising bits of wisdom for new wahms by listening to Johnny Cash lately. I thought I would share some of these tidbits from the Rockabilly legend. 1) Understand Your Man... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
It came a few weeks ago in the mail. It was surrounded by all the other mail - bills and junk. The hand writing on it was luminous and spoke of past haunts. The return address was left blank, signifying a need for no reply. I've looked at it over and over again. Trying to rationalize it in my mind. But, I just can't. And I can't get myself to do the act of opening it. There are words inside, I am sure,...
Someone had said it would, but I didn''t believe it... How could anyone make this about race...? And then I heard a professor from right here in Philly making the claim: (paraphrased) When BLACK celebrities die the media focuses on what they did wrong (pedophilia and drug use) but that's not the case for WHITE celebs. He then went on to say that because Michael was Black everyone was talking...
Well, maybe you have, but I'd never heard it before the local country station played it the other day, in honor of Independence Day. Enjoy, and have a happy Fourth!
In reply to Cara's Commentary & Community Chat, Thursday, Jul 2, 2009 : I hope I don't think anything's going to zero! Everything happens in cycles, in waves, with rhythm. We'll need some rhythm to catch the waves just right.... Bill and Ry can help. An old Johnny Cash tune.I've never heard this version before but I have the disc. http://www.sandroses.com/video/video/u54PYqB8kJU/G...
There’s more to Branson than meets the eye. Although it’s not the first place to come to mind when you think of singing, dancing, and performing, it’s a place where passionate performers go to try and make their dreams some true. What made this film was the amazing true life story of Jackson Cash (featured above) a Johnny Cash impersonator whose life is not unlike the real Cash’s,...
You know what kills me? I’ll tell you what. When scene kids and trust-fund hipsters admit to enjoying a little classic country and western, it’s only for the kitsch value. Sure it’s fun when irony is involved, but really it’s just for rednecks and idiots. So when you talk about putting someone like Johnny Cash or [...]
In Up & Coming tonight: See Me River, Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death, Battle Hymns (Chop Suey) Without a doubt, the personal highlight of this year's Sasquatch! Festival was Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death frontman Spencer Moody's amazing, blitzed ranting between (and then during) songs with his old band the Murder City Devils. To paraphrase: Beautiful faggots rule, disgusting...
I have a p[enchant for cover versions if done properly. I think Retropath spoke about this a while back and about how many cover versions he had of dark End of the Street. I think in my own collection the song that is most covered is I still miss someone - a beautiful song that is hard to really mess up. Any way the versions i have are:- Johnny Cash Emmylou Harris Elvis Costello Willard grant Conspiracy...
