“We all need discipline.”
about me
- sam of the ten thousand things
- the milky way
- Sam Rasnake, a sardonic twist of fate, is a pathetic excuse for a poet who once dreamed he was a human who dreamed he was a teacher who thought he could play guitar. Along the way - a soul-mate, two children - one collection, Necessary Motions; three chapbooks, Religions of the Blood, Lessons in Morphology, and Inside a Broken Clock. He even thinks he edits a magazine - Blue Fifth Review.

I love this song and Johnny Cash's interpretation of it.
I rediscovered it when my father was dying...so powerful.
Cash’s voice in the American Recordings’ series is phenomenal, and has few equals. Actually, it’s not just his voice – it’s the atmosphere created by the project. Nine cds that build such a unique, emotional landscape. Every listen is fresh. Thanks for the visit, Clare.
This may be the one instance of where the cover is better than the original. Such a powerful interpretation and the video -- esp. June crying on the stairs -- is heartbreaking.
I do like the version by Nine Inch Nails - but this one blows me away.
