johnny cash

98% of the sounds that enter my ears are hiphop or r&b...but johnny cash's songs and lyrics are jus to fuckin classic to pass by

when i first heard 'satified mind' i had one of those "what the fuck...." moments (what the fuck like dayum i dont even know what to say about this) its one of those songs that makes you tottaly silent after hearing it

so who likes johnny cash??

who doesnt like johnny? johnny cash was a good old boy, he could sing
about the lord on one song, and then the next song he would sing about how

he killed a man. Johnny Cash was real, he was the real deal.

I've been listening to Cash since I was just a kid and I don't remember any lyrics like that........just tried a google search and couldn't find anything either. IF you got some type of link or name to a song I'd appreciate it!

Man, for me Johnny Cash was everything thats right about music. So many great songs and some of his best work was towards the end of his career, the American recordings are just amazing. Still though Live at San Quentin takes some beating don't it.

Johnny Cash would not sing a song like that.

umm if you can tell me how to get the song from windows media player onto here i will prove it

he did i have heard it to but yea i like him he lived like 20 mins away from me saw him when i was on my boat once

I thought about this because I recently came across a song titled Ship Those ******s Back which I thought was sung by Johnny Cash. Because I understood the possibility of it being a parody, I listened to it and was waiting for the punchline. But it seemed straightforward. The message was: â??America for the whites, Africa for the blacksâ?�. Now that didnâ??t sound right.

But unlike others who are quick to judge, I did my research. If he were my friend and alive, I would have asked him. I knew Johnny Cashâ??s songs well and I know that he devoted one whole album to the plight of the Native Americans. How could he write a racist song (which didnâ??t appear to be an irony) knowing the values he stands for?

True enough, I found the answer. The song was written by Odis and the 3 Bigots but was repeatedly mistaken to be by Johnny Cash or this other man called Johnny Rebel. Someone with better knowledge should know, but the bottom line is, it wasnâ??t Johnny Cash, and Iâ??m not surprised because heâ??s not capable of such indecency.
T's m�©lange: So much for irony

This made me feel much better!:thumbsup:

yea i know who rebble is got some racist freinds who listen to him but yea i dont think cash would righ about that btw shame his house burnt down i had seen it from the lake before it was so buitiful
