Zevon and Cash died within the same week? TIL. What a shitty week for music!
I remember being excited that he was going to attend the MTV awards. Getting bummed hearing he cancelled because he had gotten sick only to die a few days later. (Happy memory) I took a trip to Korea when I was 18 and all of the friends I made made were pushy about me playing his music. It was weird, but exciting. They all seemed to love it. I just remember being out there having a good fuckin' time with Cash's music in my ear. Now every time I think of Korea I think of Cash.
The sheer number of celebrities in this music video is mind blowing. From all walks too, movie stars to Kanye fucking West
One of my favorite songs of his, Cocaine Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq344ks1ieg
"I fly a starship Across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again" - Johnny Cash's verse from the Highwayman
This won a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video, back in 2008.
I vividly remember showing it to my college classmates on YouTube, who didn't really listen to Cash; they started identifying all the celebrities in the video as it played, only to fall in some sort of trance to the music halfway.
It's an amazing song, and yes "Sooner or later god is going to cut you down". Love it.
Love love love this song. It's so mean and intense.
I've jsut about always loved this song because it feels menacing without any sort of malice
