Remembering Johnny Cash On His Birthday

FEBRUARY 26, 2013, 1:55 pm

February 26: Today would have been Johnny Cash's 81st birthday. On this day, we remember both the musical and personal legacy of the Man in Black, whose music not only entertained but also spoke for the disenfranchised. The image below is from Johnny's 1963 album Blood, Sweat And Tears, a tribute to "the working man."

"He walked the line" haiku

In the cotton fields
Pickin' bolls, singing Gospel
J.R. Cash began

In the hospital
Ready to meet Jesus, June
Johnny Cash did end

Between, what a life
Did that man live, so much pain,
Hurt, love, redemption

God Bless Johnny Cash
Man in black with weathered voice
For all those held back
