   Jesus! Don’t me out on Friday night. Bad enough that I have to go to work tomorrow. But Congress is working on that.

   Great song, but not originally Cash.  It was a Nine Inch Nails song (and a good one, I might add).  This is what Trent Reznor had to say about it:

   I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.

   I often ask my friends what they think the best cover song of all time is…and for a long time, I thought it was All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix covering Dylan) but this one rivals it.
