overheard

jack cash: "how you gonna help people if you can't tell 'em the right story?"

record exec: "your fans are gospel folk, johnny. they're christians, and they don't wanna hear you singing to a bunch of murderers and rapists, tryin' to cheer 'em up."
cash: "then they ain't christians."

"people can really be healed. they are even some of 'em you can trust.but first you gotta take a risk, and tell 'em where it hurts." ~uncle bill, i'll never be normal (after this)

"don't lose me now
don't lose me now
though i know i'm not useful anyhow...
just let me stick around." ~okkervil river, black

albus dumbledore: "dark and difficult times lie ahead, harry. now is the time that we must choose between what is right, and what is easy."

jy, i suppose you're talking about the first quote. i guess that as long as they don't say "shit" or anything like that, it'll be ok.

I've been wanting to see that movie. I'm told an old college buddy of mine plays the role of one of Cash's early managers. He has one line...something about encouraging Cash to not play a certain song? I dunno.

rick,

not that i know of. i was introduced to them and the mountain goats by my friend chris. besides having his finger on the pulse of americana music, chris is also a thorn in the side of lightway. thus, we get along quite well.

i've finally started listening to lyle lovett lately. that's some good home cookin'.
