Guilty as Sin and born to hang....Day 13 of this song meme thingy

So today is guilty pleasures day so I, like everybody else, am supposed to confess to liking stuff that's either sappy, lame, or just plain silly.

Yah, right.

I will confess to none of that. Instead I will confess that I have a soft spot for violent music filled with tales of the gritty street, where machismo and misogyny rules, where asses get capped in a hail of gunfire, and where lives are snuffed out in the gutter of despair and substance abuse.

Yes people, I confess. I like Johnny Cash. :-)

Much has been made of The Man in Black's life and musical legacy but here's a song that really blew me away the first time I heard it. It takes a talented musician to write and perform a hit song.
