Johnny Ca$hed in?

http://mexicaninstituteofsound.blogspot.com/2008/10/hip-online-johnny-cash-remixed-to-be.html When was the last time you heard a Hip Hopper reference Johnny Cash? 25 years ago, me and me mate Lennie was swappin' Cash LPs to bootleg for each other. Nobody was interested in Johnny Cash. Not even the Rockabillies. Too country. "How high's the water Mama? 6 feet high an' risin'." Koops.....
