dodj - even if you aren't a country fan - SURELY - you like Johnny Cash? Maybe not. He's not really country, He's just bad ass.
When he sang that song about shooting a man just to watch him die - he wasn't kidding. He did time in prison.
He was probably the first real bad ass to ever put his thoughts to music.
It doesn't make him good or bad - it's just the way it was back then. He was an anomaly at the time. He was dangerous in the 50's.
OMG, I read a book about a bad ass. He graduated with my mom. Same era as Johnny Cash.
Sadly, every stupid rapper is out there with the same message nowadays.
I read a book written by a classmate of my mom's. She graduated in 1955. Little town of maybe 13 graduates. My oh my - were times different back then.
Way - way different. For instance, no interstate highway. People had to go across other peoples property and open and shut cow gates.
Only one person in town had a tv. it was a little circle thing that EVERYONE in town came to look at. In 1955. They used to show movies on a side of a building, there were chairs put up. Every thursday night, it would be projected
against a building wall. Times were different back then. They slept on the roof of the house in summer because it was cooler.
You could not even begin to imagine. Dad told me, when he was growing up, that they dug out a hole in the side of a hill to put there food in, so it would stay cooler. Yes, MY DAD did this.
Not that many years ago. Ice boxes and refrigeration were for rich people.
We take all this stuff for granted. It was not always that way.
People don't know how good they have it in such a short time. I grew up without a/c for quite awhile, and I only had 3 tv channels. It wasn't that long ago, lol.
I still don't own a tv. Haven't since 2000. There isn't anything on that is that important. I don't like a/c either. Once or twice a year. Maybe. I lived down in Houston
for 12 years, and worked in a garage without a/c. (Houston Lighting and Power) You get used to not having it. No biggie.
People cry like little babies if they don't have it now. Even up north, It sickens me. Good gosh, it's been the coldest year I can remember here in the last 20 years. I'm wearing a coat, and people ***** about how hot it is? lol. Crazy, it is.
Don't have a smart phone either, my newest vehicle is a 1997 Suburban, lol. HOW DO I SURVIVE?
It's amazing how complacent we have become. Very few of you would ever last the first week of a zombie invasion, lol.
