My best friend and her mom were really into old music and the first time I heard "The Ring of Fire", I thought it was one of the best songs ever. I agree with Leigh that the Folsom Prison disc is the best by far. I am not a fan of his newer stuff, it is just too folksy and sappy. I like the bad Johnny! :) <BR/><BR/>Yeah, I hate the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I just have never gotten into any of there songs, even the popular ones. Their sound is just not something I enjoy. <BR/><BR/>The Simpson's do rule!! I love clever shows.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462016133770023537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35616900.post-47982843355774141442007-03-09T00:19:00.000-05:002007-03-09T00:19:00.000-05:00If you want to get a Johnny Cash CD that you might...If you want to get a Johnny Cash CD that you might enjoy and is a little less folksy, try his last one: "American IV: The Man Comes Around". Its from very late in his life. I swear that everytime I hear him do <I>Bridge over Troubled Water</I>, I want to run right up to my wife and hug her for the rest of my life. The NIN cover of <I>Hurt</I> is also fantastic. Oh, and by happy chance, the guitarist for RHCP was the one who reworked the music for the cover of Depeche Mode's <I>Personal Jesus</I>.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971600792040994189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35616900.post-73118740795946627022007-03-08T14:52:00.000-05:002007-03-08T14:52:00.000-05:00So you know, the comment that was deleted was mine...So you know, the comment that was deleted was mine, but upon further reflection there was more I wanted to say. My friend Dawn emailed me this:<BR/><BR/>"...on the topic of Johnny Cash - I am not a frontrunner. As a tidbit about me, I was raised on Johnny Cash and his era of music from my father, from the time I could walk (and, yes, that was before you were born). So, I have enjoyed his stuff long before The Simpson's :)"<BR/><BR/>I didn't want that excluded. <BR/>The way this post has gone is interesting, as now we're talking about The Doors (D-) and Red Hot Chili Peppers (A-), but I think this is a good thing and I appreciate the comments. I'm going to give Johnny Cash another shot, and when we get back home, I'll watch the movie again. I realize the man means a lot to a lot of people, and because of the Simpsons, I've been put in my place.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's important to realize this is ONLY from Dizzle - I am not speaking for Baby G, here.<BR/><BR/>Simpsons - A<BR/>RHCP - A-; Paul, I think Flea does more than lay out a bass line - if that's ALL he did, the band would've folded 15 years ago. Flea MAKES that band by playing OVER what would traditionally be the bass line. RHCP is a band I forget about until they have a great song on the radio and then I love them again. A couple years ago, they came out with an album called By the Way, which is one of the best albums I own.<BR/>The Doors - D-; Whatever. <BR/>Johnny Cash - ??; Like I said, I'll give it another shot. People are capable of change, and that many people who ARE fans of his are worth at least a little more consideration. Garth Brooks, however, had a lot of fans at one point, and you ain't gonna get me to listen to him.<BR/><BR/>Paul, who was the girl? ;)Baby G & Dizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219558883228680350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35616900.post-25923971686146040752007-03-08T14:34:00.000-05:002007-03-08T14:34:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Baby G & Dizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219558883228680350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35616900.post-40415568639548592662007-03-08T13:59:00.000-05:002007-03-08T13:59:00.000-05:00I dont know about Johnny's early stuff, but the Fo...I dont know about Johnny's early stuff, but the Folsom Prison concert/ album is a well deserved classic. Those prisoners were glad to be locked up on that day and a party was had... and Johnny rightly became a folk hero.....<BR/><BR/>In his later years his voice crackled and warmed like the finest quality leather and he totally renewed my interest in some very hackneyed songs, like Desperado with his poignant heartbreaking renditions.<BR/><BR/>You wrong as mate.....<BR/><BR/>LeighAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35616900.post-67706450017027723282007-03-08T13:30:00.000-05:002007-03-08T13:30:00.000-05:00Okay, the easiest way to respond to this quote is ...Okay, the easiest way to respond to this quote is book of ratings style:<BR/><BR/>The Simpsons: What's not too like, animation, clever geek references, one, no TWO main characters that are basically evil, but funny because they're clueless and cute (Bart & Homer, Burns too, I suppose). <BR/><BR/>Rating: A++<BR/><BR/>Johnny Cash: I am, I admit a Johnny-come-lately (tee hee, get it?) on this one. I first was even aware of him due to Walk the Line, but I found the movie and some of his music fascinating. It's not that it's so technically skilled (it isn't), but that it feels like folksy, popular, accessible Country/Western music. And the dude did a lot of drugs. Rating: B. <BR/><BR/>(it's funny, but I assumed that NiN covered Johnny's song... but according to Wikipedia, he's the thieving bastartd)<BR/><BR/>Red Hot Chili Peppers: Can't quite explain it, but they've been one of my most consistent tier II bands since mid high school. I just always like their stuff because of the almost rap-like lyrics and the few ballads. Flea, too, that guy is disturbing, but man can he lay down a bass line. Rating: B+<BR/><BR/>The Doors: Wow, I *did* like them. In fifth grade. At that point I also really liked G.I. Joe (knowing is half the battle!), so that's all you need to know about my taste at the time. Every year I like them less and less as too simple/overblown. Didn't even see the movie. <BR/><BR/>Rating: D.<BR/><BR/><BR/>True story: In fifth grade there was this girl I kinda liked that was my friend's neighbor. He wanted to hook her up w/ me (do 5th graders really hook up?) so he told me that she is really into the doors. I had never heard their music, so I ran out stole their greatest hits from my sister. I was so smooth that, on the phone the next day, she asked me what music I liked to listen to and I smoothly replied "The Doors." See I was a player from way back. Right?
