Literary Cash's Interests
General
Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was one of the greatest musicians to ever live.
Cash's deep voice and boom-chick-a-boom sound became distinctive trademarks, as well as his dark clothing and demeanor, earning him the nickname the "Man in Black." He started all his concerts with the simple introduction "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
Cash became a superstar and icon worldwide with widely popular songs, such as "I Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues," and "Ring of Fire." Many of Cash’s songs were humorous, like the infamous “A Boy Named Sue.” Others explored themes of love, murder, and spirituality.
Cash sold more than 50 million albums in his career. In 2006, the posthumous release American V: A Hundred Highways debuted at number one its first week, showing the continued interest in Cash and his music.
A member of both the Country Music and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, he is recognized as one of the most important musicians in the history of American popular music.
About me: The legendary lyrics of Johnny Cash are the inspiration for this collection of essays and short stories, each providing a new look at the musical legend.
For nearly five decades, Cash captivated audiences with his unique voice and candid portrayal of the gritty life of the working man. His songs continue to strike a chord with listeners today.
But it is the stories behind the music that remain with audiences and provide the inspiration for the work in this thoughtful compilation of fiction and non-fiction from contributors such as Lauren Baratz-Logsted, Don Cusic, Gretchen Moran Laskas, Amanda Nowlin, and Russell Rowland. Literary Cash is edited by noted pop culture expert Bob Batchelor.

Thank you for adding my reading page. This art project has gone beyond my expectations. Thank you for this.
I am working on a new piece fueled from “I am Who I am” and the overwhelming response I received. I keep reaching a little deeper each time I write. Each time wondering if I am going to far, and I might loose my readers or listeners, my doubt has thus far been silly.
Hello, I want to thank you all for sharing this new adventure with me. It has been fun and therapeutic for me, and it seems quite a few of you. I appreciate the comments on my page and my blogs. I adore the messages you have taken the time to write. I try to get back to all of you, especially those of you that have questions. I love the questions, they open even more doors I had temporarily closed in my mind.
I know quite a bit of the material has been a bit dark and sad however, that was just where the journey started. The first chapter of my life and some of the effects it has created currently. I'm not completely full of gloom and doom. :-) I'm actually a quite happy person despite and because of the challenges of life I have experienced. I will be writing much more on MANY different experiences and chapters of my life.
All of my writings are in fact true, written from my life. This project began as a tool to begin writing my memoirs. I have been blessed that it has had so much meaning to all of you, even opening doors of healing for some of you. I feel blessed to be a part of you.
I want to invite you all to another link of my writing. At the strong and subtle request of some of you, I have an additional "music" page with my work being read. I encourage you all to stop by and take a listen. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments (messages from those many that prefer to also stay anonymous).
http://www.myspace.com/hearartunknown Is where you can hear the recordings. Or you can click on my #1 friend on my page. Thank you for all of your time, your friendships and your love. You have no idea how you have all impacted me.
Thank you for adding me. I hope you have a moment to read the words I write. I created this site to write freely with out judgment of those around me.
Please do not mistake judgment for opinions. I long to hear your words, weather my writings encourage you, anger you, or connect with you. I want to build a community where people are free to speak their feelings without persecution. Obviously I am a private person and I respect other's privacy, so do not feel obligated to leave comments on my page or writings, but please feel free to send me a message. Comments are welcome as well perhaps your comments will reach another. I long to hear from you all.
If you connect with my words I would ask you repost this. If you do not "feel" my words I respect that, perhaps though someone one of your friends will. That is after all my purpose as an artist. To connect with people through art.

PS. It's ok to tell me it if my webpage sucks it's ok. I am modest.
