Im a big fan of the work The man in black brought us. To be able to pick a song over the others would be difficult to do. I like every song just the same.
thanks

That was actually quite the cool movie... I remember watching it on the plane from Australia to the US... I really got into it, I must admit.

There are so many I love it's hard to pick one!
If I had to choose one maybe "Streets of Laredo" or "Redemption Song" (with Joe Strummer)

Default A Boy Named Sue

Its got to be 'My name is Sue, how do you do', god..I remember that song back when I was very young, whats so amazing about it is Im so damn old now. I always liked the line "and he bit off a piece of my ear", isnt that morbid for a young kid to hear. I sure dont want my son walking around singing that paticular tune alot. That song has to be close to around 50 years old..., old as dirt.

I too first heard it when I was a young kid at school. We loved it. kids do love that sort of thing. We'd go round singing the words, giving special attention to the phrases like "kicking and a'gouging in the mud, blood and beer" and "some guy would laugh and I'd bust his head" and "I busted a chair right across his teeth".
No, we didn't grow up to be serial killers. It was just fun, same as we'd play 'daleks' after watching Dr Who.

Actually, this was the first time I ever heard Johnny Cash, or country music for that matter. At the time we weren't aware of there being different genres. There was just what we heard on the radio. What was in the charts. And at that time there weren't genre-specific charts. All different types of music just bumbled together in the one chart.

That album, the San Quentin album, or to be precise, the TV documentary, was what started me off as a country music fan. So I owe a great deal to Johnny Cash. I've been a fan of his ever since those far-off days.

But I wouldn't say Boy Named Sue is my favourite Johnny Cash song. I dont have a favourite. How could I? How could anybody? Your musical tastes change with your moods. I'm enjoying reminiscing about my childhood but tomorrow I'll feel completely different and what moves me then will be different too. Lets just say I love all of his work. They're all my favourites.
