Sad, sad day. First thing I heard this morning when my radio alarm went off was this What a crappy way to start the day.

'Man in Black' Johnny Cash dead at 71
Singer a towering figure in music history
By Todd Leopold
CNN
Friday, September 12, 2003 Posted: 9:54 AM EDT (1354 GMT)

(CNN) -- He was a poor sharecropper's son from Kingsland, Arkansas, who sang to himself while picking cotton in the fields -- then later sang to millions through recordings, concerts and his late-'60s TV variety show.

He became a country music statesman who found a home with rap-rock producer Rick Rubin's American Recordings.

He was called the "Man in Black," who once sang "I shot a man in Reno/Just to watch him die," but opened his concerts with the friendly, modest greeting, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."

Johnny Cash -- legend, model, icon -- died Friday. He was 71.

VH1 is showing the storytellers performance of Johnny Cash and Willy Nelson.
I'm sure they will rebroadcast it this weekend. A fine performance and I can imagine no better memorial than enjoying his music and his stories.

R.I.P.
