Let's root for Johnny Cash in tomorrow night's MTV awards

Post by **BlueChair** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 5:53 pm

Johnny Cash is nominated for 6 MTV Video Music Awards tomorrow night. The 71 year old country singer/songwriter's latest video, 'Hurt', which was directed by One Hour Photo director Mark Romanek, has been getting a lot of attention in the past several months.

This should be an interesting event to watch. I worry that Johnny will get swallowed alive by the likes of 50 Cent, Eminem, Justin Timberlake, and Missy Elliot, but the fact that he is even getting nominated by a channel that prides itself on flavour of the day is a huge, huge deal.

Although it will definitely be hard to stomach the obnoxious performers and presenters they have lined up.

I like the video very much, even though I thought One Hour Photo was shite.

I hope Johnny kicks butt.

I bet you he'll win and I bet you he'll be there. Big emotional tv, that's what we need.

It's an astonishing video.

Popular culture is dead.

johnny cash's album (american iv) was better than probably every other album/song nominated put together. if there is any sense of fairness in the descision making process he'll win all six. but i fear fitty cent is just too "good" to beat. besides, a man who has been making amazing music for forty years has nothing on that guy who m & m gives props to.

popular culture isn't dead. popular culture is like a black hole. a wonderful place once but, now it's just a pit of nothingness.

Popular Culture is transient by nature. It's like the weather in Texas; if you don't like it, wait two minutes.

ONE lousy award out of 6! nominations:

Best Cinematography In A Video

Johnny Cash, "Hurt"

Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, "Work It"
No Doubt, "Underneath It All"
Radiohead, "There There"

I mean, think about it!! The award went to the Cinematographer, not Johnny.

Sucks.
