Johnny Cash, God’s gonna cut you down!

I was familiar with the Blind Boys of Alabama version of God’s Gonna Cut You Down, an old traditional folk song. But when I first caught a whiff the Johnny Cash rendition in the trailer for True Grit, I said “Wow! That’s bad!”



Now, I see the song being used in a lot of commercials that have nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.

From Wikipedia

The lyrics are a warning to sinners that no matter how hard they try, they will not avoid God's judgment; in the chorus, God tells the narrator of the song to
“
Go tell that long tongue liar,
go and tell that midnight rider,tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
”

You best believe that!

In any event it’s a killer song that Johnny puts his special imprint.

Watch These Gay Guys Play "Flight Of The Bumblebee" On Beer Bottles

These guys have to be gay (not there's anything wrong with that). First of all, there's no way in hell they drank all those beers, unless it took like a year. As a matter of fact, I think there might actually still be beer in those bottles. These are not your typical hard chargin', ragin' college frat boys. You know why? Because they'd never play some silly ass song like this. You pound a bunch of beers and you set up some Metallica or Pearl Jam or AC/DC tune and go to town. But not our future florists here. "Hey, how 'bout something classical?" Hey, how 'bout growin' a pair, callin' some chicks over and suckin' down of few of these instead of playin' with 'em? Bang. Pay attention!

Bill Simmons - The Sports Guy - Writer, Commentator And Musician?

I never knew. I mean Simmons is a talented writer and I know he has a special place in his heart for Boston sports teams, but a virtuoso on the keyboard? Wow, knock me over with a feather....

Stunning Video: Legendary Jimmy Buffett Hospitalized After Falling Off Stage

CBS News reports that singer Jimmy Buffett was rushed to the hospital after falling of stage at the end of a concert in Sydney Wednesday.

Australia's Daily Telegraph reports that audience members saw the 64-year-old fall face first off the stage and hit his head.

"We were in the 10th row and it looked like he did a massive face plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up,'' audience member Dan Bateman, 30, told the newspaper.

Another concert-goer told TMZ that Buffett appeared to be unconscious for five to ten minutes and had a large gash on his head.

Sean Fogarty, who also sat in the front row at the show, recalled to the gossip site that Buffet was doing a solo and was walking along the edge of the stage when a "a huge flash of light" appeared, making it impossible to see and what led him to fall. Fogarty says he later heard Buffet's head strike metal as he fell off stage.
