I believe it was at the Opry.  But I might be wrong.

To mention Cash and Zevon in the same sentence is a joke.
 
 Zevon and Ritter as equals, not Zevon and Cash...

Not really, one was an actor and the other a musician.
 
 Cash and Zevon were both musicians which would make them equals.....don't you think?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Cash was a top notch musician and an American icon.
 
 Zevon was a second level musician, with some talent, but not of star quality. Ritter was the same. Good tv actor, but not a movie star.

Why was he an icon, then. Was he an icon because the critics said he was, or because you said so?  Madonna is also an icon to some.  As is Justin Timberlake.  
 
 You DO treat the subject of Cash as a devout orthodox worshiper would treat a scrap of religious iconography.  As an icon, you hold him in secret reverance...and only you, or those so enlightened, can appreciate the aura surrounding Johnny's iconic image.
 
 I think you really meant to say, "Johnny Cash was an iconoclast."  But then again, I forgive you for not knowing the difference, what with you 'lording' your superior 'state teachers college' education over us mere mortals...it's clearly not your fault you're stupid.

Uh yeah, right. WE'll see if Timberlake's music holds up and is revered by fans, critics, and musicians 50 years from now. And if Madonna is held with any esteem 50 years from now, it will be for her sluttly behaviour which some people like to view as all enlightened and post-feminist and shit, rather than for her music.
 
    I never said I was smarter than anybody. I never said I went to a state teachers college. I went to a state university, because my family didn't have the resources to buy me a rich kids private education. I chose education for my Master's Degree because I wanted to be in a profession that helped children.
 
    Now go back to your cell and start dreaming of the day they let you out of the big house. You're such a demented fuck we can only hope they never let you out. And stop posting such asinine rubbish on the chatboard. Nobody gives a rats ass about your childish little posts, asshole.

You did refer to mankie's 'working class roots.'

Aha!  I see it clearly now.  You have an education in Education.
 
 FYI:  Before WWII, all state 'universities' were known as colleges.  The government thought that 'university' sounded more classy than college.

I don't see your point. My roots are working class as well. Sometimes people with working class roots tend to overcompensate in trying to hide them in certain situations. That was the point I was trying to make with him.
 
    Now go back to your cell.

You imply that by graduating from a teachers college you have managed somehow to transcend your roots.  You have finally arrived.  You are enlightened.

[jadetree]

from GBV email list, Cash and Ritter were connected
 
 "John's dad was Tex Ritter - famous cowboy singer and he was friends with Cash - they HAD
 MET when John Ritter was a kid."

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

That's the trouble with reading implications that were not intended into what someone says. You speak and think in cliches.
