Dear America,
Technology is wonderful. It has vastly changed the world in which we experience today. It is possible to shop, date, and play, all from the comfort of your own home.

There is no dispute, Johnny Cash was, in every aspect, a badass. He wore all black on stage, sang about bar fights, doing drugs, and prison. The man actually sang "Folsom Prison Blues" at Folsom Prison. His music, image, and lifestyle was that of a rough, individualistic cowboy.
