she is gorgeous. ohhhh.
letter’s a bit cheesey no?
I agree re. the letter, but there is enough good and new in there to make it a worthwhile read.
Bounce-off: just discovered it was (apparently) Johnny Cash who said “I’m not a Christian artist. I’m an artist who is a Christian.” I like that.
I watched Walk the Line the other night. It was OK, nice music, but didn’t endear Cash to me very much, and in the movie he’s no Christian worth imitating.
it is incredibly schmaltzy. but i’m not sure the aim of the film is to portray his xianity – it’s just a pretty sappy ‘american dreamish’ love story in the end. but yeah the music is hot, and if you listen to more cash music you realise he has a real understanding of what redemption means and the lack of it in our engagement with people who are different to us. kind of like kanye’s jesus walks you know?
Agreed. Hooray for Kanye. I was disappointed that the betrayal of his first wife isn’t ever made up for or dealt with.
according to the movie, yeah true – would be interesting to see what his kids from his first marriage thought. but really, it’s hollywood and they were only interested in trying to show this all american, southern, cute as pie love story. am going to go and listen to some johnny now. i used to ban h from listening to it in our house, hilarious!
Yeah, the film didn’t touch on his (presumably later) Christianity. Though maybe hints of it with singing at prisons. He was still young when the movie finished, though he died old, so I guess there’s much more later in his life. I liked the movie (not so much the music — I find R&R gets old real quick, though Cash’s seems better than most).
Agreed about not making up with first wife. Not to excuse it, but it was a two-way thing. As for love story — I like a good one.
Walk the line only deals with a few short years of his long life – which is a pity as there is a big redemption story and such involving him. The rest/latter part of it he spent walking with Christ, I know this fo sho.
Now all go and get his song “The man comes around” and think about whats coming.
