While looking through the pictures from the post below, I was reminded of the scene from Ridin The Rails where Johnny Cash is sitting around a fire with some confederate soldiers singing "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that if I were a soldier during the Civil War and I was tired and hurt and I'd lost all my friends and family and had watched hundreds of people painfully die from the bullet that I had put in their heart, I'd have a big grin on my face if I heard that voice sing me that song. I mean, really, could you imagine sitting at a fire and looking through the flames to see that face? Cheer up dude that looks like Ernest.Watch the video and know what I'm talking about:Youtube: Johnny Cash - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Beside a singing mountain streamWhere the pussy willow grewWhere the silver leaf of mapleSparkled in the morning dewI braided twigs of willowsMade a string of buckeye beadsBut flesh and blood needs flesh and bloodAnd you're the one I needFlesh and blood needs flesh and bloodAnd you're the one I needYoutube: Johnny Cash - Flesh and Blood* If anyone can find that video from The Man, His World, His Music where Johnny sings this song to June on their couch, let me know. That video can probably cure a few diseases.
