This first Sunday of Lent 2012 is also Johnny Cash’s birthday. He was born February 26, 1932 and entered eternity on September 12, 2003. In honor of him and the LORD he loved, I’m featuring Johnny’s killer version of the Trent Reznor song “Hurt” – my all-time favorite music video. “Hurt” is on Johnny Cash’s […]

Missing Roy Orbison
The shades. The hair. And the face of a man who apparently didn’t take himself too seriously. How about the lyrics and melodies he wrote, played and sang so sweetly? Roy Orbison was just too cool for words. Years after the tragic deaths of his wife, Claudette, and two sons, 52-year-old Roy Orbison was on […]
