        EL CHUPACABRA
Special Selection November 08 El Chupacabra is the South American equivalent of Sasquatch. That's the simplest way to describe it. The name translates litterally to "The Goatsucker", based on his legend as being a creature that preys on farmer's livestock. His legend first emerged in Puerto Rico in 1995, after eight sheep were found dead, each with three puncture wounds in their chest and all the blood drained from their bodies. Since that date sightings of this, or similar creatures been logged in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, the United States, and Russia. Dozens of strange animal carcasses have been found that people believed to be Chupacabras, but all that have been examined have had more realistic explanations. But the most common events accredited to him are dead livestock with gaping holes and sucked dry of blood. Pretty creepy stuff. The legend of his appearance varies, but he usually has lizard like skin, a alienish head, with big fangs, long claws and usually walks up right. Believe in him or not, El Chupacabra is here to stay. See my favorite El Chupacabra video here. Pure genius.

I expect El Chupacabra to get a boost in the voting this month with CNN reporting that a real "goat sucker" has been killed and preserved in South Texas

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..
