Bart Barber referenced this video on his blog and I enjoyed taking another look. I like the passion in the song and the fact that I can relate somewhat. Bart Barber blogs at www.praisegodbarebones.blogspot.com.
I liked Johnny Cash....he had a hard life, partly because of his own actions, however, he blessed many people with his music. We won't forget him. His life is over and many of us are still here. Looking back is good when we learn from the past, but, you can't go home again. If we live in regret we cheat ourselves of the future. Don't do that.

Y'know, I've never been a big fan of Cash's music, but this song is so haunting, so real. Just amazing in its rawness.
