Man in Black: Birthday Boy (Feb. 26, 2010)

I read in this morning's Tennessean that the folks over at American Music (producer Rick Rubin et al.), who just released Johnny Cash's posthumous album "Ain't No Grave," are urging fans of the Man in Black to wear black clothes in his honor tomorrow.

Johnny would've turned 78 on February 26, 2010. Here's a lyric from that classic Cash country song:

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's okay
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
Till things are brighter, I'm the Man in Black.

("Man in Black" copyright 1971 by Johnny Cash, 1932-2003)
RIP, John.
