Driving to Cornwall with a mate today, we was talking music and videos, and I was saying how much the Johnny Cash video Hurt shocked me.
I had pretty much grown up with Johnny Cash in my household, my father sang his songs round the clubs, he had met him a few times etc, that I knew his songs so well it was part of me.
Then the video came on TV when I was reading or something and I dropped my book, as at first I could not believe who it was. Then the look in Cash's eyes as he stared at the screen, you could see that he knew there was not much time let, yet he looked so defiant and strong willed despite his physical frailty.
Anyway here's my selection.

Bob Dylan recently quoted someone who had said (I paraphrase) a voice didn't have to be beautiful to be a great singing voice, it just had to convince you it was singing the truth, which applies to Johnny Cash in spades.
In many ways I feel like he was a living expression of the more interesting parts of the human condition.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
Not any one in particular, but the old Tool videos like Sober and Prison Sex.
I love stop-motion animation in general, but it can be extraordinarily creepy, disturbing and powerful when done right.
