Johnny Cash's 80th Birthday

Johnny would have been 80 today. I had the privilege of seeing him in concert once. On tour with the Reunited "Highwaymen" in the mid-90's. Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson joined Johnny on stage at Pine Knob. I'm glad I got to see this show because Johnny's gone now and so is Waylon.  Willie and Kris are up there now. When they are gone this will truly be the music of ghosts.

You probably are familiar with Johnny's compelling video of the Trent Reznor song "Hurt." Watch it if you haven't seen him. The "Man In Black" steals it away from the NIN songmeister.

Here's a little taste of the other Highwaymen!

Happy Birthday Johnny wherever you are!
