another tribute to Johnny.
Just saw a little clip on the man in black tonight, and brought another tear to my eye. I have never really had this reaction to a "celebrity" before. No ones death on the outside of my family has made me feel this way. I truly feel a hole in myself. I'm only 25, Monday anyway, and never really thought that much about him until the past year. However, I realized that there was a man who was much bigger as a human than most of us will ever realize. He was a hard living man, but never apologized, nor tried to hide himself. He learned from his mistakes, and simply made himself a better man. He had an unabashed love and faith for his companion, June Carter, and loved his children dearly. He took his art form to a level that I don't think was realized until about a year before his death. And, it was only fitting that he went almost as soon as his wife. His companion was gone, and he had nothing left here to keep him here. His rendition of Hurt is truly one of the best songs I have heard in my lifetime. As Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and author of the song said, "It's his song now." A definate autobiography of his life. I miss him. And, even though, like most, I never met him, I knew him. Rest well Johnny.
