Uit Off Topic:

Na de dood van Warren Zevon afgelopen weekend is er helaas weer een van Bruce Springsteen's muzikale vrienden overleden: Johnny Cash stierf in een ziekenhuis in Nashville aan complicaties van diabetes. Hij is 71 jaar geworden.
Bruce is een groot bewonderaar van Johnny Cash. Deze bewondering was wederzijds, Cash nam Springsteens 'Johnny 99', 'Highway Patrolman' en 'I'm on Fire' op. In 1999 werkte Bruce mee aan een televisieprogramma ter ere van Johnny Cash. Hij vertolkte toen het Cash-nummer 'Give My Love to Rose', dat hij inleidde met de woorden:

"Johnny, ik wil je vanaf hier bedanken voor de inspiratie. In je werk vermengde je het sociale geweten van de folk, de rebellie van de rock ‘n’ roll en de ernst en humor van country en vertelde de jonge muzikanten dat het niet alleen goed was de grenzen en blokkades tussen deze stijlen te slechten, maar dat deze grenzen zelfs moésten verdwijnen. Dit oude nummer is al lang een favoriet van mij. Ik hoop dat je het mooi vindt."

RIP Johnny!

Ik hoop dat je weer bij je vrouw bent, en doe Hank en Townes alvast de groeten van me ;)

Mijn favoriet:

Delia's Gone

Music: D. Troops/K.Sibersdorf
Lyrics: Johnny Cash


Delia, oh, Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
I'd-a had her for my wife
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there
Found her in her parlor
And I tied to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

She was low down and trifling
And she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to
Grab my sub machine
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

First time I shot her
I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

But jailer, oh, jailer
Jailer, I can't sleep
'Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

So if you woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

[Jesus_etc.]

Deze comes to mind:

Well you're my friend
(It's what you told me)
And can you see
(What's inside of me)
Many times
We've been out drinking
And many times
We've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go
But can you see it's opposition
Comes a-rising up sometimes
That it's dreadful and position
Comes blacking in my mind

And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
That we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see

O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness
