About this ebook
Interest in the Man in Black has grown since his death in 2003, with increased record sales, cover videos by groups like Nine Inch Nails, and the 2006 biopic Walk the Line cementing his fame. This book honors Cash by examining the many philosophical issues and concepts within his music. From the gender confusion of “A Boy Named Sue” to the ethics of "shooting a man just to watch him die,” philosophers who are fans of Johnny Cash explore the meaning and continuing importance of his work and legacy.

I chose not to buy or read this book based simply on the fact that the author incorrectly states that Nine Inch Nails covered Cash. Obviously, anyone that knows anything about Cash, knows he covered the Trent Reznor classic.
