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.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
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
