Che tipo Johhny Cash, ma soprattutto che musica!
Ho letto da qualche parte che Bono degli U2 ha detto di Cash:
“Every man knows he is a sissy compared to Johnny Cash.”
Insomma, detto da un tipo come Bono non è male come complimento.
Johhny Cash aveva una voce da paura, si vestiva sempre di nero e beh, spaccava un casino.
Se per caso non avete visto il film “Quando l’amore brucia l’anima – Walk the Line” sulla sua vita, interpretato da Joaquin Phoenix (interpretazione spettacolare) e la bravissima Reese Witherspoon (nei panni di June Carter), ne consiglio caldamente la visione.
Folsom Prison Blues
I hear the train a comin’
It’s rolling round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin’ on
But that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me: “Son,
Always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns.”
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there’s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can’t be free
But those people keep a movin’
And that’s what tortures me…
Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that’s where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away…..
i shot a man in reno…
