You all know that I am a big fan of JC. He attracted countless followers, yet remained quite humble. He fought through personal adversity to become a shining example to all of us. He performed many miracles before enormous crowds, and his words taught a simple message of love, a meaningful life, and forgiveness.

You know who I’m talking about:

That’s right! Johnny Cash. You should follow his example. How should you feel toward your spouse? You should tell them, “I walk the line, because you’re mine.” Should you take that vacation? You should be able to say “I’ve been everywhere, man.” Do you want to be stuck in Folsom Prison? Well, then shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die. Wait. Not that one. But you can definitely wear black. And you most certainly ought to get rhythm when you get the blues.

After reconciling with the dirty mangy dog who named you Sue, you really ought to name your son Bill or George– anything but Sue. Don’t ever apologize to the Yankees if everything is done with a southern accent where you come from. Remember love’s been good to you. And for goodness sake, don’t take your guns to town.

Listen. Learn. Achieve Nirvana.
