The man in black passes away

(September 17th, 2003)

This is old news by now, but as you're all aware, The Man in Black, Johnny Cash, passed away recently. His contributions to the music world were huge, and he will be missed by all.

Before he passed away, Johnny Cash released one final album (American IV: The Man Comes Around). On this album, he recorded a phenomenal cover of Nine Inch Nails' poignant drug addiction song, Hurt (which is my favorite song). Cash took Hurt and gave it a very different meaning from what Trent Reznor intended, delivered with even more power than the original.
