Slowly but surely things are improving.  Not much going on right now.  Today i officially got my license back so woo hoo.  I was listening to Johnny Cash’s last album today.  I have to be in a certain mood to listen to it, because the two songs I wan’t played at my funeral are on there.  I don’t think it is morbid, I just see some sort of solace in a man looking at his oncoming death and able to choose any song by any artist as his legacy.  I love a vast majority of his music, but this album really invokes a different feeling.  If you don’t own it you should.

As a matter of fact in my own humble opinion, these are 5 albums that everyone in America should own:

1) Johnny Cash: American Recordings IV: When the Man Comes Around

2) Spearhead: Stay Human

3) Harry Chapin: Gold Medal Collection

4) Blues Traveler: Four

5) Grateful Dead: American Beauty

That’s just my list.  If I ended up stranded on a desert island, those are the 5 albums that in my opinion would best give me all aspects of humanity.  Each is chocked full of insight on the human condition and would provide me with a reminder of why life is beautiful and painful, but always worth it.

if anyone was wondering the two songs are his versions of “In My Life” by the Beatles and “We’ll Meet Again” by Hughie Charles.  The third song being “One Child Born” by Blood Sweat and Tears just to add some comic relief.
