“a kind of otherworldly grace”

Another wonderful music post by Beth – this one’s on Johnny Cash. I look forward to when she writes about music. She usually makes me see the particular musician in a new way.

It is said in Protestant faiths that good works are the reflection of salvation, rather than a means to it. Nowhere more than in the prison performances of Johnny Cash do I see the truth of this.

    Like my friend Nik used to say “it is no coincidence that Jesus Christ and Johnny Cash have the same initials.”

    You just keep doing what you’re doing. But your music posts are something special. Just so you know. :)

    Love. Johnny. Cash.

    Love, more than anything, Cash’s version of Hurt.. more than I can probably express.

    Beautiful post, beth.

    No question about it.

    Johnny Cash is an instrument of God.

    emily, you know, i was thinking about that very thing today.

    uh oh, peteb. i have serious cognitive dissonance when it comes to “Hurt”. i’m a fan of johnny cash, but NIN is my religion.
