I appreciate about John and Cash's lyrics is the directness and the simplicity [G] of it.
For the same reason I [Em] like John Lennon.
I mean, so much of Cash's emotional structure
is burned away by his real life, you know, and his real life sorrows that there's like a pristine austerity
about his, everything he says that comes from some place that's obviously been there, done that, you know.
And so as a lyricist and somebody alive, a human being, whatever, it's inspirational because that's what, you know,
I think as you grow as an artist, what you try to do is become more and more like that, more and more direct.
There's something about every word that he says that carries an emotional weight of life that's been lived, you know.
And that's, to me, that's the essence of blues, that's the essence of, I mean, obviously rock and roll and Sun Records
and guys like John and Cash, so God bless you.
