Johnny Cash finds a new generation
At a birthday party my 4-year-old son attended a few weeks ago, he got a CD filled with the favorite songs of his friend who was turning 5.
It has some interesting selections, including "White Trash Wedding," but there is no bad language on the songs, so I let him listen to it. It's in the alarm clock that wakes him up in the morning, so when Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy" comes on, I know he's waking up.
A couple of days ago I went upstairs to see if he was ready for breakfast, and he was lying on his bed listening to the CD. He just wanted to hear the end, he said, of his favorite song:
"Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash.
The Man in Black has found a fan in the boy in Underoos.
