"He represented the best of America" Johnny Cash funeral near Nashville Tuesday, September 16, 2003 Posted: 1:25 AM EDT (0525 GMT) HENDERSONVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Family, friends and musicians gathered at Johnny Cash's funeral Monday to pay tribute to a giant in American music. "He represented the best of America; we're not going to see his like again," said singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson, who wrote Cash's 1970 hit "Sunday Morning Coming Down." More than 1,000 people attended the private two-and-a-half-hour service at First Baptist Church of Hendersonville, about 15 miles north of Nashville -- the same church where Cash mourned the death of his wife, June Carter Cash, in May. Cash, 71, died Friday of respiratory failure caused by complications from diabetes. He had been in declining health for years. "I can almost live in a world without Johnny Cash because he will always be with us," said Cash's daughter, singer Rosanne Cash. "I cannot begin to imagine a world without Daddy." Among the celebrities attending were country singers Vince Gill, Hank Williams Jr., Travis Tritt, Dwight Yoakam, George Jones, Ricky Skaggs, Ronnie Dunn, the Statler Brothers and the Oak Ridge Boys. Other celebrities in attendance included rock-rapper Kid Rock, actress Jane Seymour and former Vice President Al Gore, a native of Tennessee. Kristofferson called Cash "Abraham Lincoln with a wild side" -- a man always willing to champion the voiceless and downtrodden, "whose work in life has been an inspiration and salvation to so many people around the world." The Rev. Franklin Graham -- son of Cash's friend, the Rev. Billy Graham, delivered the sermon, calling Cash "a good man who also struggled with many challenges in his life. He was a deeply religious man." Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow sang the gospel hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross" and Bob Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand." Cash, known as "The Man in Black" for his preferred attire, said in a hit song that he wore the color in honor of the poor and oppressed. He was buried in a black coffin with silver handles. As the service came to end, country singer Larry Gatlin addressed his own son, Joshua Cash Gatlin, from the pulpit: "Son, this man fed your mama and me when we couldn't afford food. He paid rent for us when we couldn't pay rent." For more than four decades, beginning in the 1950s as a peer of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Cash specialized in earthy songs about hard times and brooding love songs. His hits range from the rockabilly anthem "Get Rhythm," to the comical "A Boy Named Sue," to the recent "Hurt," about the ravages of drug abuse. Cash rose to fame in his late 20s, but his career was nearly derailed by an addiction to pills. He credited his wife, Carter Cash, whom he married in 1968, for helping him beat the addiction. His commercial peak was from 1969-71 when he had a network television show with guests including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Kristofferson. After a dip in record sales that lasted nearly two decades, Cash partnered with rock-rap producer Rick Rubin and recorded four critically lauded albums that found him a new, younger audience. After the death of Carter Cash in May, Cash spent most of his time recording, leaving more than 30 songs yet to be released. He had planned to attend the MTV Video Music Awards shortly before his death, but couldn't because of illness. His video for "Hurt" won an award for cinematography at that show, and he has four nominations at the Country Music Association Awards in November. The funeral program listed the active pallbearers as country singers Gatlin, Marty Stuart and producer Randy Scruggs. Honorary pallbearers included Kristofferson; Rubin; singers Rodney Crowell and Willie Nelson; Marshall Grant, who played bass in Cash's original band; and his brother Tommy Cash. A public memorial was also being planned. http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/15/cash.funeral.ap/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 10:42:26 -0400 From: "Steve O'Hearn" Subject: The Boss, Walking the Line at FedEx By Joe Heim Special to The Washington Post Monday, September 15, 2003; Page C05 There was little doubt that Bruce Springsteen would play a Johnny Cash song at his concert at FedEx Field [in the Washington, DC suburbs] Saturday night. The loss of the country music giant, who died Friday, was clearly on his mind as he and the E Street Band -- all dressed entirely in black -- took the stage. Without a word to the crowd, the 53-year-old rocker strummed a few chords on his acoustic guitar, and a melancholy, haunting version of "I Walk the Line" took form. ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11001-2003Sep14.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 11:39:05 -0500 From: "Barry" Subject: something to talk about Everyone may already know each other's answer to this question, but I really am curious and I thought it might get people talking just a little. What part of the world do you call home? You can answer by telling where you currently live, where you were born, all of the places you've lived, or all of the above. I am from the United States. I live in the city of St. Louis, in the state of Missouri. It's basically right in the middle of the US. I have lived in this general area all of my life. I have been to most of the states, to Mexico, and to Canada. I plan to start travelling a lot in the next couple of years. My first destination is Ireland. From there I will explore as much of western Europe as I can. Next would be South America, then Australia, Africa, and Asia. Basically I want to see as much of the world as I can! That's a little about me. How about you?

Grew up in Central California (Stockton area) Went to college in San Francisco and haven't left the Bay Area since. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I was born and raised in southwestern Colorado very close to the "Four Corners" area - Dove Creek, Colorado. I went to Albuquerque, New Mexico to finish high school and did not get away from there for nearly 23 years (except for a couple years in Dallas, Texas for college). I finally got to move back to Colorado and now reside in Berthoud, about 40 miles north of Denver. World travel is something I'd love to do, but am a bit apprehensive about since Americans are not entirely loved abroad; I've been to Mexico multiple times, but not the interior or "real" Mexico. I've been to Grand Cayman once and loved it very much. I am extremely concerned with the rest of the world and wish I knew more of it firsthand; I'd be glad to learn anything secondhand from folks ilving there. Best regards, /jan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 18:44:01 -0700 (PDT) From: "Desianto F. W." Subject: Test Testing my network.

Subject: Re: something to talk about First, sorry for the test, it seems that our sent address has worked properly again. I was born in Solo or also called as Surakarta, a city in the Central Java Indonesia. Solo is the center of Javanese culture beside Yogyakarta. But frankly, I know not much Javanese culture, including speaking with its language with 9 degrees of politeness. I 'used' Solo as the place of birth. Then my parents moved to Sukoharjo, about 10 km. South of Solo. Next, we moved to Salatiga in 1986, to Wonogiri in 1989, and finally to Semarang in 1994, all are in Central Java. I've traveled to many places in Java and Bali, e.g. the Bromo Caldera, the most beautiful caldera in the world IMHO, where I rode a horse for the first time but made everybody in the group surprised because I could handle the horse well. The asked me, where did you learn riding a horse? Then to Bali, well it's beautiful, indeed, but did not impress me too much. Also to Dieng plateau, it's said as the second highest plateau in the world, to see the ancient temples there. Still many places that I've visited but this place will be not enough to carry all. My desire, to visit as many places as possible in Indonesia by car, from West to East, North to South. To go abroad? Maybe, if I have the opportunity and of course the money..:-) But right now, the nearest 'destination' is to finish my study, find a job or make it by myself, save some money, etc...etc.. Desianto F.

I have no idea why you'd have problems sending a message larger than 9k. It may just have been some temporary flaw in the system. See if it you continue to have the problem. I'm also a bit curious about the address. You said you send to basia-digest@smoe.org but when I send email I send it to basia@smoe.org I am wondering about the different addresses, why there are different ones. I know reasons why they could exist, but I've never seen the digest version. I would suggest sending mail to the second address, the one I use. See if that makes a difference. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. I used to run some lists with the same software used for this list, but it's been years and I don't remember much about it.
