I am a stange one when it comes to music. Why you ask? Well when i have a mixed disk its ****ing mixed with for example Fear Factory "Edge Crusher" to Miles Davis "Blue" on one CD..My friends were always like wtf..
But as a fan of music i have always been open mided to all kinda of music except country music to a certain extent.. But one person who does and doesnt fit into that genre of Music and can fit into many others is johny Cash.. I have always expressed great kudos and respect for this man.. He has conquered many evils in the very unforgiving music world and over 5 decades has put out some brilliant folk-rock-counrty-blues... I recently read a autobiography on him and was brought to tears by it..The first book i have ever read that wasnt about something I had to read for school ..
He has most recently gotten very ill and claimed for bankruptcy many times over the past few years and may not be alive much longer. He has worked with many musicians over the years Most noteably "Nine inch Nails" Trent Reznor (self proclaimed Cash Groupie").
His lastest album (and prolly his last) 'American IV: The Man Comes Around' it's joyous,Depressing and very folky.. But his opening video covering "Trent Reznor's" "Hurt" brought me to tears watching it.. He looks like he is close to dying and it tells the story of his life..
"The video has already reduced rock hardmen Zackl De La Rocha, formerly of - RATM and Trent Reznor of NIN to tears. "
