The Death Trend continues as Johnny Cash dies at 71.

[Zebra 3]

The country music legend, the only inductee of the Rock & Roll, Country, and Songwriting Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash was by far my late father's favourite singer, and needless to say his music played often at my house - quite often. He did little acting, but I found him to be perfect as a gunslinger, co-starring with Kirk Douglas in A Gunfight (1971). My first ever concert was a Johnny Cash one, and I still remember it after all these years. He had so many great songs, but one is somewhat revealing of him, and that one is Man in Black, which reads in part:

[center:f22491a27e]I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.[/center:f22491a27e]
