You ARE kidding right?


Not a bit.



Oh dear ... I pity you. I saw Johnny Cash (with June Carter) live five times and he was superb every time. On the last but one show he played the whole set, then, instead of coming out for an encore, announced that he'd had a sore throat and didn't feel that his performance had been up to scratch so he played the whole set again - plus encores.

He was an electrifying live performer. You should check out the Live At Folsom and Live At San Quentin albums if you don't believe me, or better still watch the San Quentin DVD, which is an astonishing document in its own right.

Or better still, don't. Branding June Carter a "whore" because she slept with a married man - you should be ashamed of being such a backward reactionary twerp. Actually, you're a lot like those backward, puritanical old biddies in "Walk The Line", who give June a hard time for running off with John. Maybe that's why you liked the film so much.

I don't care if she runs off with Osama.

I just said it was hilarious that they made it look like they only slept together once. Like that makes it any better.

Ecstatic. But please do yourself a favour and check out those live CDs. They're among the greatest live albums ever made. Really.

Yes, that's the one. But it also features an R Kelly cameo. He comes out of the closet and anoints the scene with a shower of gold.

what performance did you see??? he was fantastic live, especially in his prime. "at san quentin" is one of the best live albums ever! wacky



Is that the jail one? I didn't see it.

Just a bunch of shit on youtube. I'm telling you I would prob like them if I hadn't seen the other two first. I just think the actors sound better.

I'm goin to look up this quintin thing now.

-----
Check out the San Quentin DVD. Really good and I am not a big country music fan.
In addtion, I think that John and June were pushing forty when they hooked up.
The movie actors may have been a two young to play them but it is Hollywood.

Who ripped him off?

I guess no one cuz he's dead.

bono ripped johnny cash off. nick cave ripped him off. tons of rock musicians have ripped off johnny cash, and they'll proudly admit to it. it's like saying you rip off bob dylan or the beatles - it's almost considered a good thing to rip him off.

i think her older recordings are fantastic. she doesn't have the range of, say, a loretta lynn or a tammy wynette, but june was more of a folk/mountain music singer and less of a torchy country vocalist. her vocals on later albums are kind of weak and feeble sounding, but then again, you could say the same about johnny's later albums. sad

I haven't actually heard her as a young woman, maybe you're right. She just didn't seem to have much feel when I saw her.

Johnny always had the voice, and his delivery was so real, right up to the end.

The problem I had with Joaquin was that a huge part of Johnny was his incredible voice--like Barry White.

Joaquin's a good actor, and he sang okay, but there was nothing special about his voice (not to mention that he was just imitating the original anyway).

but you're right, it's fun to push people's buttons here. They take it so seriously.

If you really want to piss them off, start a thread about how much better Elvis was than Little Richard
