I Love You, Johnny

by | Feb 26, 2008 | Random (A dreXeL's Life)

Today is Johnny Cash’s birthday.  I love that man like crazy and it got me thinking about how he actually makes me proud to be an American.  Growing up I wasn’t very patriotic.  I wasn’t anti, I was just…ambivalent, I suppose.  But thinking about it, there are a few things that definitely make me proud to be American.  Here’s the short list:
1. The existence of NYC

2. Specifically, the existence of Brooklyn

3. Johnny Cash

4. Hip Hop

5. Pop art and culture

There are probably a few more things, but those are the first ones I thought of.  And I know I’m not alone in being so proud of Johnny Cash.  It’s practically un-American to not like him.  NOONE talks shit about Johnny Cash.  Or Elvis.  And that’s how it should be.

Happy birthday, man.  We miss ya. XOXO
