Five Year Old Sings Folsom Prison Blues

fv

I discovered Johnny Cash somewhat late in my life. Not that my life is over, mind you. But I only started sampling the Man in Black around the time that he came out with his brilliant cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt.”

This kid, however, appears to have been exposed to Cash much earlier. Like five years old. Not only is he familiar with the music, he can sing Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.”

Do we really believe the little guy when he sings, “I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die”? No. But that’s OK. As Hannah points out over at Strollerderby, “After you check out little Wesley singing the Folsom Prison Blues at a coffee shop in Seattle, I think you’ll agree that this is far too awesome to be inappropriate.”

Here’s Cash doing the song himself. Watch both videos, then give me 500 words comparing and contrasting the two styles.

Reading is fundamental

Here’s what my allergy-filled eyeballs are looking at today:
* Thanks to Think Mama Think for linking to my Strollerderby post about Orgasmic Birth, specifically the video featuring men and women getting realllly excited during delivery.
* Wired tells us why we laugh (me, it’s because I’m watching old George Carlin videos.)
* If I ever get famous, I’ll be very happy I’m an only child.
* Ah, guys. (Originally found on Yahoo Shine.)

I really like how it was “popularized” by Yasser Arafat. Yes, ever since he starting dating that girl from “The Hills” he’s been quite a trend-setter.

It’s raining kids

Hallelujah, it’s raining kids…

Here’s the thing about cultural sensitivity: it’s good to respect other cultures but when it involves bodily harm, it’s OK to ask a few questions. Female circumcision, for example. For me, throwing babies off of a roof seems like a really bad idea. But hey, what do I know?

Kid suspended for taking call from soldier Dad during class

The second worst thing about this story is that it makes me agree with Fox News on something.
Dad was in IRAQ. I mean, come on.
