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.

Full Episodes of Japanese Spiderman Series

This is weird, but also kind of fun.

Marvel.com has full episodes of the Japanese Spiderman series. As the song in the intro says, “Yeah Yeah Yeah WOW!”

Here’s a sample episode:

You can watch tons more, including “The Hero’s Shining Hot Blood” (which as far as I know is not X-rated) at Marvel’s Japanese Spiderman Movie Hub. They have English subtitles, but they don’t make a lot of sense. I mean, they do, but not really. It’s fun stuff, though.

Jane Fonda in Barbarella

They don’t make ’em like this anymore. They wouldn’t get away with it. Which is too bad. Because Jane looked hot in “Barbarella“.

Good Argument For Wearing a Rubber

I get the desire to avoid wearing the love glove. But for me, the risks far outweigh the inconvenience. Besides, when you’re a teenager, you’ve been carrying the damn thing in your wallet forever by the time you actually get laid. Be a shame not to use it.

Andrew WK Makes Faces on Fox News

Musician Andrew WK made a dopey face while a dopey Fox News anchor asked him a dopey question. At least someone is being honest on that channel.
