I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
An early 1995 tracklist from Ben Vaughn shows the album had 12 songs. "Japanese Cowboy" wasn't written yet, "Powder Blue" was "Powder Bleu," and "I've Got No Darkside" & "So Long Jerry" were in. 36-track Deluxe drops July 31. Link in bio to stream "Boston Chicken" & pre-order!
Finally! Unheard in full for nearly 30 years, “Boston Chicken” is now available for your listening pleasure. The 13th golden great as Deaner once said. 12GCG Deluxe Edition is out on July 31st! Link in bio.

@TomuTommy like if you’re going to do an ironic cover or whatever cool but get some of the words right. Hard to respect the bit when you’re not all in. Weens cover of loser by beck perfect example of doing it right
@AeternalForest Big metal fan, so I just checked this out. It's terrible. It's like if Geddy Lee decided to make a metal solo project using an 8 track recorder, and then mixed it on an Amiga.
Bad. You can hear the autism.
