The Greatest Madison Square Garden show of all time?

In 1968, the latest incarnation of Madison Square Garden opened in the heart of NYC.
By the 1970s, the arena was the premier showcase for music's biggest stars.

With the '00s ending and MSG's renovation scheduled to begin in 2010, we have four decades of classic concerts and one question: What's The Garden's greatest show? Each week in November, MSG will give you a chance to vote on shows from each different decade, starting with the 70’s.

The latest musical tribute to Johnny Cash was released to radio on June 30th.
"Johnny Cash Is Dead (And His House Burned Down)” is a searing, rockabilly groove written by his longtime friend Larry Gatlin. The song infuses new lyrics with the melody from Johnny Cash’s "Big River" to document some of the well-defined artists who helped to build country’s foundation: Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Chet Atkins and Marty Robbins.

CashVilleNow.Com, the Johnny Cash Social Networking site has launched according to JohnnyCash.Com founder Bill Miller.

Johnny and June’s son, Grammy Award winning producer John Carter Cash has just released his very first book for children – Momma Loves Her Little Son. The new book creates a lyrical painting based on the intimate words his mother, June Carter Cash, shared with him as a child. Captured in the exquisite Americana art of illustrator Marc Burckhardt, an expression of love between mother and son comes to life in vibrant simplicity.
