Sadly, we have been Johnny Cashless for a few years now. The man in black is no longer of this earth and is undoubtedly watching us right now and wondering why we're making such a huge fuss over him. Fortunately for us fans, his music still lives on and we were blessed with one more American Recordings album this year. While I didn't really have high expectations for it, I have to say that it is surprisingly one of the best. It is a collection of many traditional tunes that give a giant proverbial middle finger to death in a way that only Johnny could. Additionally, we have the Johnny Cash Project. Over 250,000 Cash fans drew over every frame of the Ain't No Grave video, to give a graphic illustration of what Johnny meant to them. While the man in black means a lot of things to a lot of different people, we all share a common bond of love and admiration. Johnny's not gone, he's just hiding in the shadows, waiting to kick our ass when we greet him in the afterlife!
