The joy of painting for me can only last so long in a setting with a body of water, happy trees, and a mountainous body looming in the background. Don't get me wrong, happy trees get me through the day but I don't think I could handle painting the same thing over and over. No matter how effing realistic!

I agree this isn't the quintessential Johnny Cash song. I think what's awesome about it though is that he was like 70 years old, a country and rock and roll legend; and he decided to do a cover album of some really great work by artists 40-50 years younger than him. (and in more than a few cases he did better jobs than the original artists.) About that time he was showing up to play a couple of songs at a number of Beck concerts. Three or four years ago one of my clients, a hip skateboard/snowboard/surf brand decided to play only Johnny Cash on their phone system. He was a relevant musician for 50+ years, to generation after generation of listeners. I think that is what is so awesome about him, I think he transcended above every other artist born within 20 years of him.

I agree with you. I mean you could do Folsom Prison Blues or Boy Names Sue, but What other 70+ year old man do you know that could pull of Nine Inch Nails?
reply
I agree, there is some classic stuff, but Hurt was awesome.
reply
Johnny Cash was certainly awesome, but I'm not sure this was the most awesome of song selections.
reply
remember, the song isn't nominated, Johnny Cash is..
reply
I think one of the things most awesome about Bob Ross is how many people he inspired. I knew a whole bunch of my friend's moms would get together and paint to VCR recorded episodes of his show while we were at school. The paintings are not really my cup of tea, but what artist has inspired more work, created by other's hands than Bob Ross?
