Jeez. |
i wonder if he just didn't want to die in a hospital so they released him saying everything's ok to keep the press away. shit. |
|
I cried a little bit, I'm still in shock but not surprised. I just listened to his version of Rusty Cage...."I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run...." Guess he did just that. He wasa legend like Davy Crockett and the Lone Ranger and Paul Bunyan. All long gone now. I feel alone and sad. |
This is really heavy. |
jesus skooter. let me why don i just get some razors for you. of course as i type it doesnt help that NPR is playing it . GOD DAMMIT! It wasn't a shock. There was a blue train a coming....when his wife died a couple of months ago. So, after plowing some beers in the backyard last night and promising my gut I wouldnt drink tonight, I now have a reason. But for god's sake, do yourself a favor, try not to listen to the saddest song in the world like skooter did. Go put in Folsom Prison Blues and dance and sing a bit. Its so easy to get sad, its harder to be joyous and celebrate a genuine American treasure. bless you johnny. bless you for the 100s and 100s of stories. |

He said he felt the presence of God tell him that he wasn't done living yet....it told him to get up and get out of there. That same spirit just showed up again this morning in Tennesee. I'm happy that he's making music with Warren Zevon and Wesley Willis in the stars tonight. There will be a heck of a jam session. |
|
I got out of the shower today to hear spunky playing Johnny Cash singing Personal Jesus....... |
Hurt Danny Boy Give My Love to Rose We'll Meet Again... well, all of American IV I'll probably try to avoid his music entirely, for today... and I just got the new A Perfect Circle several days early so I guess I have a distraction... Not that John Ritter dying isnt big news, because he's still a pretty big TV star, but I'm sad to see yahoo has his death as their no. 1 headline (it was ahead of "US troops kill 8 Iraqi police" for a while) and Cash isn't listed on their main page... |
|
|
which means there are still a few songs that could probably be released posthumously... |
"It's a sad day in Tennessee, but a great day in Heaven," said Merle Kilgore, best man at their wedding. " gonna cry. |
It's been a point of sadness my whole life that he's known as a mostly miserable and lonely person, prone to crying fits and divorced twice all that. Because i love Dave. |
And i have to work tonight too, this is gonna suck. |
K |
How was work? Were people wicked upset and shit? |
Fuck'em, they were more concerened that John Ritter died, morons. |
Listening to some old 'greatest hits' album in the car today, and the trademark "Hello....I'm Johnny Cash." His little chuckle. damnit i hate country music. I love Johnny Cash. remember? on the simpsons? |
However the Man in black will live forever as far as I'm concerned. |
I'm not a big fan of country music but I've listened to a little recently. Not the new stuff; a little Dolly and a little Cash. |
I am dissapointed to hear about John Ritter, but not nearly as much as Johnny Cash. I dunno. I guess it kinda wigs me out cuz he is younger than my Dad. People younger than my Dad have been dying a lot in the past couple of years and I have this weird fear that he may be next, though no reasoning for it whatsoever. So I just wig on John Ritter thinking that he was so young. |
|
Though NIN is pretty good in itself, I'm not a terrible fan but anyone covering or working with NIN seems to do a great job. Sometimes the covers are the real test. |
|
Did you know that Merle Haggard was in the audience for the live Folsom prison recordings? That show it was inspired him to do what he did once he got out. |
was it...what waylon jennings, willie nelson and kris kristofferson? friday i left work early to keep my nanny bill within reason. went and bought a couple of Cash concept albums that I had been putting off. bought a bottle of knob creek whisky (they were out of Makers) and sat on angry's sams porch listening until the bottle was done. pez, i think, soon, you'll come to realize that the likes of Cash, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Sr. and even Dolly transcend labels "country" "rock" "blues" etc. They only apply those labels so the idiots in record stores know where to put them. Johnny is the only artist to be in the Country AND Rock Halls of Fame the man gave us over 1500 songs and hundreds of albums. NO BE SAD! BE THANKFUL! |
My uncle L's dad died on L's 16th birthday, and he still gets depressed on that day, 38 years later. I feel bad for that little girl. |
|
But neither of those guys could have gotten away with "Delia's Gone"! |
