Johnny Cash, 1932-2003. The
greatest country musician ever has died. MSNBC.com has
the
AP story plus a piece from
the Today show that's well worth watching. It includes clips
from his last video, "Hurt."
You probably won't be able to get
into JohnnyCash.com
for a while, but here's something called "Steve's
Johnny Cash Home Page" that
looks pretty cool. I would also keep an eye on BobDylan.com
in the next few weeks -- Zimmy's likely to perform a Cash standard or
two in concert that will pop up in the "Performances"
section.
Cash was 71, and had been in poor
health for some time. His wife, June Carter Cash, died earlier this
year.
Johnny and June ... RIP.
