Title: Johnny Cash

He's pretty great, what do you guys (and gals, lol) think?

Haters can exit the building and shotgun their brains out of their heads.

I like his stuff. Only country I listen to.

Also, "Hurt" is a cover of NiN. Not original Cash.

Johnny was great but I didn't care for his adultery.  Still great though.  I've always had a hankerin' for naming a boy dog Sue.

He was as much of a personality as he was a musical talent.  In my brain I put him in the same category as James Dean.

Johnny was in an era where you were expected to sing many songs by other writers, as well as your own. He was a brilliant song writer, I'm not surprised "Metalhead" doesn't understand this.

the cult of originality in pop/modern music annoys me.  the chances of someone writing a better song than anything that's already been written in very low.  just perform the best ones that've already been done.  classical music understands this.

Did Eric Kynard consider "the odds" before he lept into our hearts?  eff no.  He worked hard and mastered his craft and metaled at the Olympics.  Odds schmods.

I agree and disagree. Most people won't write a better song. But everyone should at least give it a go. And I think classical music worshiping 400 year old dead guys really holds it back. Symphonies could have been blowing our minds even more if people weren't so rough ridin' hung up on the past.

Johnny was in an era where you were expected to sing many songs by other writers, as well as your own. He was a brilliant song writer, I'm not surprised "Metalhead" doesn't understand this.

he had to "revamp" his career on multiple occasions. in his last ditch effort he signed up for the "super group" the highwaymen, where he was essentially Waylon, Willie and Kris' "Chris Kirkpatrick" to their "JT, JC and Lance"

nobody puts metalhead in a corner.

FWIW, I like Johnny Cash. He is overrated but that doesn't mean that I think he's bad. He's got a fascinating story and is extremely popular for his actions on and off stage. He's was an entertainer, there is nothing wrong with that.

I love Cash, and I don't think he's over rated at all.

He played and  wrote a lil music just like everybody else did and does.  It just so happens that his performance is timeless and crosses multiple generations. Not too many artists can say that.

He's rated right where he should be with that being an American icon. 

Go listen to his Vietnam song or Man in Black. If it doesn't speak to the heart then you may be an ignorant tortured soul.
