Cash, Ritter dead - DeeBye - 09-12-2003
Johnny Cash, one of my favorites, has died. CNN link
He had been sick for quite a while, so it doesn't come as much of a shock. I'm gonna miss him though.
John Ritter, star of "Three's Company" and more recently "8 Simple Rules" died unexpectedly after being rushed to the hospital. He was 54. CNN link

I am going to miss Johnny Cash. That man had such a voice.

While "A Boy Named Sue" was what first alerted me to him, in time I preferred "I Walk The Line." The Starkville City Jail was kind of fun.
I still have both of the "HIghwaymen" CD's that he collaborated on with Kris, Willie, and Waylon. Some good cuts there, but it's not vintage Man In Black.
I Walk the Line was subject to a few parodies, this one from, I believe, Kinky Friedman.
"I keep my pants up with a piece of twine
I keep my arms wide open all the time
I've kept myself quite well in all this time
Because you're mine
Please pull the twine!
Hmmmmmmmmmmm" <== in a deep baritone

I have not had a slap in the face like this one since April 1994.
Cash was The Man. He proved that good guys wear black. Heck, I grew up listening to Cash, my whole life has spanned his musical career, and I can measure personal milestones to the songs he released. I have had the honour of meeting him twice, both times a unique suprise.
What will always stand out in my mind was Johnny Cash on the Muppet Show. That was a golden moment, comedy in a pure form.
He will be missed. The world is smaller with his passing.

After "A Boy Named Sue" there came another version:

As with all of Shel's work, it is irreverant but funny.

John Ritter? Crap, there goes another "everyday joe" celeb. I really thought Ritter was cool. He'll be missed. :(
Ah well, there's still Amanda Bynes... I just have this weird thing for klutzes, I guess. ;)
