American IV arrives!
2008-01-07My copy of American IV showed up! I am now listening to Johnny Cash, singing about love and life and death. It’s amazing how even a sappy love song can be transformed by an aged man singing it. Gives more weight to it somehow. When some young person is singing about love, there’s this feeling like “You don’t know what you’re talking about”. But when a 70-year old man sings about love, you figure that maybe he’s seen enough life for it to count.
Plus, there’s the song “Hung my Head”, which is a cover of a Sting song. I might need to check out Sting now. Someone said that Sting is rock music for thinking people. Maybe I need to find out if he’s right.
Discovery can be fun.
