The legend in country music



Johnny Cash is one of the best country signer that has ever been through music history. He was born during the depression on February 26, 1932. He was brought in to this world in Kingsland Arkansas. Johnny's brother died at the age of 14. During this time johnny was only 12 years old.When Johnny Cash graduated he decided to go in to the Air Forces. He used the name John because, the are force would not use initials. His first band was started when he was stationed in Germany. After the war he sold appliance door to door. Before getting into the music career. "Walk the line" was Johnny's first number 1 hit. Johnny wear black because every one else was wearing rhinestones and sparkly clothing. During 1992 he was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame. In 2003 Johnny died at the age of 71.

Johnny Cash will always be a musical legend. He is one of the best country artist. Most people still listen to him even though he passed away. Most kids to day do not know him. Even the older teens don't know him. And its very said to me because most of his songs are about the really life. And i think that it will help a lot of teens and kids realize what it was like to live in the past.























Music becomes personal and childish

As a child Emmanuel Jal hated the fact that he was alive. All he wanted to do was die. It was like he was married to hatred and war. He is a originally from Kenya. He moved here to get a better life and to start over. When he raps he puts his past into his songs to let people know.

It's so sad that kids don't have families that care about them and take care of them. It's a really good thing that he was able to start over. Most people don't get that chance. Everyone needs to get help as long as they are willing to get off there butts and work hard then I don't have a problem with them getting help. But it sounds like he did a really good job at putting his feet on the ground.

The band Rascal Flatts is a very good band. The songs that they sing always seem to have a very good meaning. Some of the songs that they sing "Life is a highway", "Me and my gang", I can only imagine", and "Feels like today". They are American Germany award winning country music group. Also they will be in the Hannah Montana movie.

To me they are One of the best bands in country music. They seem to get along really well. I have heard a lot of there songs, and the best me is "Me and my gang". To me the song is telling how well they get along or even they way they get along with other people. Other then that I think that it is a shame that they are showing up in the Hannah Montana movie. I have nothing against Mily but i don't really like her. I sometime watch her show due to my little sisters. But grown adults should not do little kids movies. To me it will be a down grade to Rascal Flatts.

Can you Duet

Can you Duet is a TV serious is about taking two people and putting them to gather to see if they can duet. This TV show started with CMT teaming up with American Idol to find the next big stars. This TV show is ran basically just like American Idol. Each team will preform in front of three judges. At the end of each show one team will be eliminated, until there is one team left.

Personal I think that this is stupid and that people need to do it the old fashion way. Look at all the big stars from the past like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and Reba McEntire that didn't have these TV shows to help them get started.They took the hard way and finally got what they wanted. Know there are so many music artist that get to be on TV and start out with help which most of the older country and other artist didn't have. So to me it like cheating or even sleeping your way to the top. And then when the times get hard they will not know how to deal with it. So the lose all their faith and plummet to the ground and there goes their fame. Nothing good ever comes out of taking the easy way to the top. If you are always taking the easy way you never learn how to deal with the hard times.

Message board

Taylor Swift album. The songs on theTaylor Swift album all deal with being hurt by the boys she dates and how she feels about them. And then some of them deal with her having to break up with them, or letting them go when she doesn't want to. When she wrote "Tim Mcgraw" she was in high school.

In the CD I fell like she put all of her emotions into the songs on the CD. The song that meant the most to me was "stay beautiful". The reason that song meant a lot to me is because if my boyfriend and I break up, I really would want him to come back to me.

Then the next song would be " You should have said no". The reason I picked that song was because it shows that she will not be taken advantage of by anyone. And it shows that you hurt the people that you cheat on.

The way that it might change is people would realize how bad it would hurt someone. And that its not right to do that to someone no matter who it is, and how mad they might have made you.

Present Artist

Right know there is a lot of teenage kids that like Taylor Swift and a lot of little kids.

Taylor started writing at the age of 12. Her parents would take her to Nashville so she could make demos. But she started singing at the age of 10 years of age. she has been around music a lot due to the fact that her grandma was an opera singer. When she was only 11 she preformed in front of thousands of people while singing the National Anthem.Taylor's most first hit song was "Tim McGraw". Even though she wrote that song in high school people loves that song. She put how she felt and it got her a lot of money in the first week the song was out.

To me she is a very good writer because she puts what she feels in to her music and doesn't care what other people think about it. She takes the pain that she has from breaking up and puts it to use to make her even better then she is at that time. Also she gets to rate on the people that hurt her. When I got my CD of Taylor Swift for my birthday from my friend LeeAnna. And when I read the letter at the back of the CD what she wrote when she ended the letter was very good. She basically said that the boys thought they would break her heart didn't and she wrote about them and got a lot of money and became a lot of girls favorite singer due to the fact that they can relate to what she writes.

country music of the past

Johnny Cash is one of the best country artist. He is also know as The Man in Black.

I believe one of his best songs is "God is going to cut you down". This song to me is very true. If you are doing things against the law. It will come back to bit you in the butt, just like the music video shows.
Even though he passed away (September 23, 2003) doesn't mean that know no one listen to his music. Very many people still listen to him. To most people he is a legend in country music and will always be one. Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, and Man in Black, these are just some of the songs that Johnny Cash has.
