June Carter Cash passed on today, and it made me pull out my Johnny Cash Greatest Hits CD. The Man In Black is one of those rare souls that come along every now and then to challenge the norms, change the world, and generally becomes a living legend. He's a legend in country music, made a splash on the alternative music scene in the mid 90's, has a large religious music presence, and in general has one of the most recognizable voices and personas of the last few decades.

My grandparents listened to him. My parents listened to him. I listen to him. That's saying something. How many other living legends are there out there like Johnny Cash? Not many.
