So I get this picture in my head of Heaven. And there is this need, what with all the standing around and harp playing and going to an Elvis concert AGAIN, for entertainment.
And so the entertainment director in Heaven, some angel that never did make it to Arch status, some guy with a flaming cell phone and golden PDA, he says to the Angel of Death:
"It's time for another variety show. Get me Cash, Zevon, and that guy from Three's Company."
"We got that guy" says Death.
"No, no, not the landlord. The guy who falls down."
"Chevy Chase wasn't on that show."
"NO, you idiot, Chase is going to Hell anyway on account of those Vacation movies. Ritter, that's the guy."
"Dammit, I just got back from Hollywood. Bob Hope isn't good enough all of a sudden?"
"Too many of the veterans have already seen him...same jokes fifty years later, and anyway it just reminds them of the blown-to-bits and dying-in-agony thing."
"OK, OK..." |

Johnny's cover of Nick Cave's "The Mercy Seat" is fucking amazing. I wasn't a bit surprised that Johnny could do more with "Hurt" than Trent Reznor, but I was shocked to discover he could do one of Nick Cave's signature songs as well or better than Nick Cave himself. |

This is one of the songs that got me interested in Johnny Cash again.
"13"
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at
Got the number 13 tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red
I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young
Got a long line of heartache, I carry it well
The list of lives I've broken reach from here to hell
Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I pray you don't look at me, I pray I don't look back
I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young
I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number when I was young.
This song is not actually a cover; Rick Rubin asked Glenn Danzig to write a song for Johnny Cash and this is what he came up with. Cash and his friends loved it, and wanted Danzig to write him another song, but Danzig had left American Records by that time (and was suing them) and didn't want any of his songs on that label. He now does a version of "13" himself.

What was it that you liked about it? Was it a original or a cover of one of Glenn's songs? I think I heard a cover of Dirty Black Summer by Johnny. |

I was never a big fan of Johnny Cash, but I really liked that song Glenn Danzig wrote for him.

On NPR they spoke of both Cash& Ritter and they were friends. "Drive on, don,t mean a thing, Drive on Johnny". I do hope he's with his June. |

John Ritter's father was Tex Ritter, so they'll probably git along fine. |

Johnny Cash died last night. I posted this before, but it's worth posting again:
