Johnny Cash and John Ritter both died today. <\/p>\n
Cash had been sick with multiple conditions, but apparently it was the diabetes that did him in. He was experiencing a resurgence over the last 10 years thanks to Rick Rubin. If you haven’t checked out his latest album<\/a>, I highly recommend it. What he lacks in vocal power, he more than makes up with in experience. His voice lends a world-weary-seen-it-all character to the songs that he covers along with the originals. The video for "Hurt", a Nine Inch Nails cover, was up for an MTV video award this year and should have won. You can see the video<\/a> over on Amazon.<\/p>\n John Ritter will forever be associated with the role of Jack Tripper on Three’s Company, although he reinvented himself, in my opinion, with his role in Slingblade<\/a>. I wasted many hours watching Three’s Company both primetime and in re-runs. It pretty much defines 70’s TV, crap. What did I know? I was ten. He was only 54.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Johnny Cash and John Ritter both died today.
