Johnny Cash – Hurt
An evening pause: A truly moving music video by Cash, reflecting on his life in music and pictures.
Make your own memories this weekend.

The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Interesting choice. I was playing that on the way home from Quub this afternoon.
Songwriter Trent Reznor’s take on The Man in Black’s cover of the Nine Inch Nails 1995 release:
” It felt invasive.” It was the moving video, though, that made it all fall into place for the Nine Inch Nails star: “It really, really made sense and I thought what a powerful piece of art. “I never got to meet Johnny but I’m happy I contributed the way I did. It felt like a warm hug.”

Something I never noticed until this view.
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Which is reflected in his section of the highwaymen.
I’ll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
I know this is a cover but its interesting themes the keep coming up in his music over this life
