Johnny Cash!

YOU LOOK SO MONEY — JOHNNY CASH | SLICKED BACK STYLE OF THE ’50s & ’60s

Johnny Cash Martin Guitar

I have a good friend of mine  (we won’t mention any names here, you know who you are), who can have his whole world crashing down around him —  and somehow, the guy just gets better looking.  It’s like stress is a magical elixir that slims, tones, and revives every cell in his body.  I just want to kill the guy.  Me — if I’m going through Hell, you can bet yer’ money that I also look like Hell.
Now Johnny Cash’s life wasn’t exactly a cakewalk back in the day.  Cash was touring like a banshee —  the marriage was crumbling — they (he and first wife Vivian) had 4 baby girls to take care of — he was partying like a fiend — he and his badass buddies, like Waylon Jennings, were taking every pill there was — he gets busted in El Paso for possession — you get the picture, the guy lived hard.  Yet, looking at these pictures, he looks simply amazing.  Cash’s style during this time, with his tight, slicked back hair and crisp, clean tailoring look unbelievable compared to the 1970s ‘bigger is better’ looks that were to follow. I will say though that once you get to 1965-66 — well, you can see that the effects are definitely starting to show on Johnny’s face.  All in all though, he had an amazing run even with all the crap going on, until it eventually caught up with him — and it always does.  God bless Johnny Cash.

I don't leave many comments, but I browsed some comments on this page "Johnny Cash!". I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be only me or do a few of these comments
appear like they are written by brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I'd like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your social networking sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you
get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin
or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.

I believe everything wrote made a ton of sense. But, what about this?
what if you typed a catchier title? I am not saying your
content isn't solid, however what if you added a post title to possibly get a person's attention?
I mean "Johnny Cash!" is a little vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news titles to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say.
Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

I think we've got a clear route to accomplishing one thing on Television this year. Saying that the activity experienced passed him by, and he did not have any respect for someone who failed to know the many matters he realized and couldn't acquire fights anymore.
It can be substantially less complicated and cheaper to
repair every little thing just before surveying the
boat than to pay for to own it accomplished later on on.
