I Love You, Johnny
Today is Johnny Cash’s birthday. I love that man like crazy and it got me thinking about how he actually makes me proud to be an American. Growing up I wasn’t very patriotic. I wasn’t anti, I was just…ambivalent, I suppose. But thinking about it, there are a few things that definitely make me proud to be American. Here’s the short list:
1. The existence of NYC
2. Specifically, the existence of Brooklyn
3. Johnny Cash
4. Hip Hop
5. Pop art and culture
There are probably a few more things, but those are the first ones I thought of. And I know I’m not alone in being so proud of Johnny Cash. It’s practically un-American to not like him. NOONE talks shit about Johnny Cash. Or Elvis. And that’s how it should be.
Happy birthday, man. We miss ya. XOXO

For now here are two…
Reason number 1
Reason number 2 aka “Masked Self Portrait”
