A few weeks back, I told you The Man In Black was in the hospital. Well, Johnny Cash was just released from a two-week stay for bronchitis.

Now, for our younger readers - those who might suffer from the delusion that Britney Spears is actually a real singer, or that Fred Durst is actually a bad motherfucker, let me introduce you the genuine article: Johnny Cash has put out over 150 records on 7 different labels, spanning over 60 years and a religious re-awkening or two.

And that doesn't even mention his top rated CBS variety hour, and what is easily the best of the 'Live at San Quentin' albums. And even though he has been suffering from a degenerative nerve disorder for the past 5 years, he just cut another album with Rick (Beastie Boys / Red Hot Chili Peppers) Ruben producing.

Now THAT'S a bad motherfucker.
