Cashed Out
(Props to Ali for the header)
It was a warm and sunny morning, the day they looked out the window to see the hearse come to carry him away. Yes, the circle is unbroken, the Man in Black died in a Nashville (fittingly) hospital at the age of 71. Known for his dark and brooding songs, Johnny Cash recorded more than 1,500 songs in his 6-decade career. Despite failing health in recent years, Cash picked up his 10th career Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance Give My Love to Rose, and hard as it is for me to type it, Justin Timberlake actually classed up the MTV Video Music Awards with a tribute upon accepting his Moon Man for Best Pop Video: "My grandfather raised me on Johnny Cash, and I think he deserves this more than any of us in here tonight." Cash also is the only person to have been inducted into the Songwriters, Country Music, and Rock And Roll Halls of Fame. And of course he saved Homer and Marge's marriage as a talking coyote on The Simpsons. As to where he is now, let's just hope Johnny isn't standing in a burning ring of fire.
A certain condo in Evanston, Illinois is reaping the benefits of this morning's events, as Kirsti records her 6th hit, strengthening her death grip on the leaderboard, while hubby Greg vaults into 2nd.
The Leaderboard:
1st: Kirsti 6 dead, 58.44444444
