This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Speaking of Johnny Cash:

Quote from: BBC
Fire destroys Johnny Cash house

The lakeside Tennessee home of late country music superstar Johnny Cash has been destroyed in a fire.

It burned down on Tuesday while renovations were being carried out for its new owner, Bee Gee Barry Gibb.

The interior of the house, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, was used in the video for Cash's final hit, his 2002 cover of Nine Inch Nails' Hurt.

Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived in the house from 1968 until their deaths, months apart, in 2003.

'Sanctuary and fortress'

The cause of the fire has not yet been identified. According to the Associated Press news agency, one firefighter was hurt tackling the blaze.

The agency said the fire spread quickly because construction workers had recently applied a flammable wood preservative to the exterior of the house during renovations.

After a few hours, little remained of the house except its stone chimneys.

"So many prominent things and prominent people in American history took place in that house - everyone from Billy Graham to Bob Dylan went into that house," country singer Marty Stuart, a neighbour, was quoted as saying by AP.

"It was a sanctuary and a fortress for him," Stuart said. "There was a lot of writing that took place there. The Folsom Prison prison record came from there, the San Quentin record, The Holy Land, the Man in Black book came from there."

Another neighbour, Richard Sterban of country and gospel band, the Oak Ridge Boys, is quoted by the AP news agency as saying the fire may be "the good Lord's way to make sure that it was only Johnny's house".

Given a choice between having his house burned down or having it owned by a Bee Gee, Johnny probably would have settled on the latter because that's the kind of guy he was.  But I'm sure he would have thought about it for a long, long time...

So... this was God's way of saying 'you don't have to be THAT nice, Johnny. Here, let me sort this out for you.'.

Johnny Cash, so cool even other Icons (or is that.... Anti-Icons) can't follow in his footsteps without getting burned.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

See, I'm cool with that too. Roasting for all the sins he couldn't expaiate, he reaches out of Hell in one last act of vanity... to god damn Cool to allow anyone else to tread his turf.  Even the Deevil can't keep the Man in Black down....

Of course: I'm still waiting for Droog to reveal that 'A boy Named Sue' was about him, and what he SHOULD have done, what Daddy expected of him, but he failed to even attempt. And he's bitter about it, so very, very bitter.

Poor Sue.
