Johnny Cash has been gone for just less than 3 years. When it is that fresh, there is a massive renewed interest--people show up in droves to buy albums, I heard that the movie was fantastic, etc. Don't forget, that before John was shot, 'Double Fantasy' had already started to fall chart-wise, but when he was killed, it shot up to Number 1 for weeks. Vigils held around the world. A massive outpouring. That does not discount Johnny Cash's musical contributions, but they have nothing in common except they are both gone. If you are going to compare anyone to JL, pick one of his contemporaries like Elvis. They are probably neck and neck in merchandise available. People stand outside and light candles outside of Graceland, they do the same at the Dakota/Strawberry Fields. I have to admit, I'm a bit prejudiced. I don't think they will ever find an actor who has John's mannerisms or speech patterns. The videos I've seen are so contrived, it's sickening to watch. To Wit: "Two of Us". Unbelievably horrible. I don't know where you come up with this stuff Wayne (I know, I know, I'm a Liberal idiot and so on).
