Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash is the greatest thing ever. No seriously, he's the greatest. He's the man. He's the freaking dude. He's freaking awesome. Why is he so awesome? I don't really know, he just is.
"Conner, I always pictured you as a big metalhead? How can you think Johnny Cash is the best?"
How can you not think that, obnoxious person? He's freaking Johnny Cash. You must love him.
You gotta understand, when I was a little boy...like, before I got into metal, I listened to Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, and that was kind of it. When I was really young, I would listen to his stuff all the time, and I'd sing along to it. By myself.
Johnny Cash is the reason I sing at all. As a matter of fact, the very first song I sang in the history of ever in front of anyone was Man In Black. I sang it on cruise ship during my vacation some years back with my dad playing guitar, and some staff member on keyboard. We performed in a little funzies talent show that didn't really mean anything, but I decided to get the courage to sing in front of my family, and these other people I didn't know. It was a lot of fun, I thought. I didn't think about how well I performed it, I just did it for fun because I was singing Johnny Cash. Hell yeah!
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be involved in music at all, probably. He's the reason I'm here, and he's the man.
