=[ That's sad. I'll admit I didn't even listen to more than one or two Cash songs until after seeing Walk The Line, but I love his music now!

I did noticed a possible error in the article though:

Local architect Braxton Dixon built the three-story house in 1967 for his own family, but Cash fell in love with it. Mr Dixon was apparently reluctant to sell but Cash,who was raised in a Federal resettlement colony in Dyess, Tennessee during the Depression, kept after him.

Johnny was raised in Dyess, Arkansas. Ha, I'm being nitpicky, but I just wanted to point that out.

Just saw the story this morning. Kinda sad.

One of my favorite Johnny Cash hits is "A Boy Named Sue".

=( Thats sad. I was a Johnny Cash fan before it was 'cool' to like him. I like the stuff he did with Rick Rubin, some of the covers and traditional songs he did were legendary, his version of "I won't back down" for example.

The 60's and 70's are becoming a bygone era in music.
Bob Dylan was mentioned in the story, he had a lot of influence in the music world back then. I would guess Dylan had influence even outside the folk and country genre. You hardly ever hear old pop classics from the 60's by groups like steppenwolf on the radio anymore.

That story was all over the Nashville news, yesterday evening. I left work at 5:00pm and turned
on a Nashville station in my car, and, they were talking about it. Being an old Bee Gees fan, I knew
that Barry Gibb and his wife Linda had been working on remodeling that house to it's prior grandeur,
and, it made me sad that the house and dreams went up in flames.
