Another favorite of mine - Hurt by Johnny Cash
The original song was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nines. The Johnny Cash version is a cover song, though I'm sure he identifies with it as if it were his own. I love this song because it is so true. We can accomplish our dreams in life, but what does it really matter in the end?

I would have to say...it's the family, friends and relationships that we cultivate. All the prizes, accomplishments, and trophies mean nothing if you don't have your family and friends in the end.




Side note:  I also really like the Johnny Cash movie Walk The Line.


This movie is an amazing depiction of what Johnny Cash went through and experienced. Very enjoyable, but very disturbing in parts. Sometimes when you fulfill your deepest desires in life, they have the potential to take over your life like a run-away train.

But with anything in life, it can be over come.

They Got Married In A Fever
I will preface this by saying I was never a big Johnny Cash fan, but after seeing the excellent way Hollywood handled Ray Charles ("Ray") and Bobby Darin ("Beyond the Sea") I was anxious to see what it would do for The Man in Black. The results are phenomenal. Now, I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to John and June when they were still living.

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are phenomenal as Johnny and June Carter Cash. This unlikely casting yields such outstanding results that I would hand them both the Oscar right now if I could. I read that Reese almost bailed on the project when she found out she had to do her own singing, but you would never know it from the great vocals and spunky performances she delivers.

The film focuses on their love affair, first as friends and then torrid even while he was married to his first wife and the mother of his children. His drug abuse is highlighted but it is Johnny Cash, the complex man and his love for June Carter, darling daughter of the close-knit and totally supportive Carter clan, that comes shining through and makes this a totally enjoyable movie.

Two big thumbs up for a movie that thrills from its opening at the infamous Folsom Prison to its spectacular closing.
