Crap...Johnny Cash is gone

Johnny Cash is a guy I would like to have met face to face one day.
Almost all the Sun greats are gone now, and 95% of new music stinks...
God Speed Mr. Cash...

 

"I hear that train a'comin..."
Sam.

 

Tis indeed a sad day...a sad, sad day.

Will miss him a great deal.

 

This is devastating news to me. As I write my wife is crying her eyes out in the bed room. Johnny Cash has not only ment so much to me and my wife but to her dad as well many others. Even my unborn son. My son Hank has already chosen Johnny Cash as his favorite musician. His favorite song appears to be "get rythym" which is odd because it isn't the favorite of me or my wifes. Whenever he hears it he goes crazy in the womb. It is facinating to me because we listen to so much music and he has chosen for himself the same favorite that we all have as well. Today is my father in laws birthday and he is going to find out that his favorite musician since childhood has p***ed. It doesn't matter that I knew it was coming as Johnny has been getting older and that he has not been healthy. The man has made an impact on many lives and him dying is losing something that is totally unreplaceable. Johnny has made me take a different look at life and how it should be lived. I was really not happy that he only recieved one award for his video on the mtv music awards out of six nominations. That was a travesty. But regardless, Mr Cash represented what was good about this ****ed up world. About things like comp***ion, forgiveness, awareness, love of god and countless other things. His insite on life was invaluable. God bless you Mr. Cash. You will be greatly missed. I am happy for you to be able to see june again. You both have touched our lives. God Bless you!

 

at least I still have most of his albums

 

rip man in black your songs bring back good memories . thanks for the songs.

johnny cash i drew last year with pastels .. i'm going to frame it now

 

When Roy Orbison died right after I had a chance to see him and didn't go, I promised myself I'd see as many of the legends as I could. Since then I've seen Mickey Gilley, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Waylon Jennings and Jessie Coulter. I had already seen Jerry Lee Lewis. Missed seeing Carl Perkins.

 

My wife and I were sitting in Heathrow waiting for a connecting flight. I see this old guy walking towards us all dressed in black. He's was all alone. I said "Hey, that looks like Johnny Cash, Naw, can't be. He'd have people with him..." The guy goes into a tie shop as our flight gets called. We got on the plane and I noticed that the curtains to first cl*** were already closed. I thought it was odd. After we took off, the captain came on the overhead saying "I'd like to welcome our VIP's to Ireland". That's all he said. My wife's dad picks us up at Dublin airport. while driving away he says, "Guess who's in town!"

DAMN! I was 20 feet away and wuss'd out of the chance of a lifetime! I've been kicking myself ever since.

We're gonna miss ya Johnny.

R.I.P Johnny .. you will be copied... you will be impersonated... you will be bad mouthed ... but you will never be replaced!!

Well Said!

 

Johnny had a bunch of songs in the can for his latest album American Recordings V. In fact, this week he was planning to go back to California and finish the album. They released him from the hospital on Tuesday for his stomach ailment.

"Hello, I'm JOHNNY CASH."
Goodbye, Johnny.

 

Why him? There are enough others we can live with out.
Rest in peace, you will never be forgotten.

 

R.I.P..thanks for the music

 

RIP

 

Not to get into a long story, but Cash has been a big influence in my life the past 12 years and every time I listen to his words, he seems to be singing to either me or singing the story of my life. You will be missed.....

 

Never in my life have I felt so attached to a person I never knew. Hearing that he died on the radio this morning was terribly hard for me. There's a ton I could say, but as usual it is too late...
I'll see you in heaven Johnny. Godspeed.

I thank the musical legend &amp; genius, Jonny Cash, for music that will live indefinitely. Every time a piece of his music will be played-it will be a celebration of
the 'Man in Black"





Jonny Cash R.I.P. - September 12, 2003

 

This is a loss that extends beyond music...it affects American culture as a whole. Johnny was a true original that played by nobody's rules but his own.

I was listening to his Sun recordings earlier while I was on the road. Strangely enough, I got up and was on the highway this morning before I heard anything about this, but as I was getting dressed to leave, I felt a bit compelled to put on a black shirt...now I'm glad I did.

Anyone else picturing the concert that's happenin' somewhere beyond tonight? Ya just know, now that they're back together, Johnny and June are gonna tear it up!! "We got married in a fever..."

RIP Johnny, your legacy will never die.

 

THE JUNKIE AND THE JUICEHEAD{minus me]

 

I'm so ****ped out...

this week has ****ED...

 

"Yonder lies a guitar pickin' man, Lord, Lord,
Yonder lies a guitar pickin' man."

 

<font color="green"> Hurt </font>

 

RIP Johnny

We all know that there will be peace in the valley for you.
Thanks for all the music, it will live forever.

 

I couldn't believe how depressed I was today. I just started listening to Johnny last year and his songs really took hold. For some reason this really impacted me. As soon as I heard the news on my way to work the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

Rest in Peace Man in Black - you will be sorely missed.

 

Damnit, I was gonna say something, but I'm just too sad.



RIP Johnny R. Cash, you'll live forever in us all.

 

RIP Johnny.

A true American Poet. Although I can't relate to his songs due to my fairly ordinary and stable upbringing, when he sings his stories you can just FEEL the pain and hurt he went through.

We'll miss you down here too Johnny.
