milestone for the man.

i would like to take just a second today to say happy birthday to mr. johnny cash. on tuesday, his final recordings he made before he passed were released as his final record in the american recordings series, entitled "american vi". fantastic. it's like he picked the songs he did on that record because he knew his time was coming. there is so much life and death dealt with on the record. it once again completely reminds me just why he is my number one musical influence. you are dearly missed friend. one day soon, we will meet. i look forward to it. here's to you.
