Johnny Cash'
nalatenschap gaat geveild worden, postte ik eerder vandaag. Maar ook down the drain, als het aan de Republikeinse Conventie ligt. The Nation gaat behoorlijk door het lint.



En, als ik de tekst van Man in Black herinner, niet geheel onterecht:

[...]
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

[...]

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.
[...]
