Ok, one more thing about Johnny Cash, and then I'll put it to rest, pun intended.
Back in the late 70's there was a book called The Book of Lists, and it consisted of nothing but various lists compiled by various people. Johnny Cash, the hero of our post, was asked to name the top country songs of all times. He came up with a list of eight songs, six of which were his, that alone puts him in the Boz Hall of Fame.
