And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire.
It must be more than ten years since I was sitting in a scummy hotel bar in Plano, Texas listening to some EDS mainframe geek lie not all that convincingly about how he wrote "Ring of Fire" for Johnny Cash. I didn’t know until I read Danny Miller’s review of "Walk the Line" this morning that it was actually June Carter’s song .
"Walk the Line" stars Joaquin Phoenix as the man in black, and Reese Witherspoon as his inamorata. I am not ashamed to say that Ms. Witherspoon captured me with her filmic tour de force, "Legally Blonde," and I look forward to seeing what she can do with a role as a brunette.

There it is again…the Nashville connection. Always a Nashville connection. Besides The Man in Black his-own-self and June Carter Cash, Reese W. is also a Nashville native. Happy T-day, Frank.

Ahh yes. There’s always a local angle. Or three.
