Nine years ago today, the great Johnny Cash died of the proverbial broken heart. Many, many friends called to see if I was alright. We went and bought Red Stripes (in homage to his long time residence in Jamaica) at ten a.m., poured a little out and said a little prayer. And the beer we had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so we had one more for dessert…
The world is a little worse without you.
Thank you for showing us the complexity of what it means to be a man,
and what it means to be an American.
