Johnny Cash, God’s gonna cut you down!

I was familiar with the Blind Boys of Alabama version of God’s Gonna Cut You Down, an old traditional folk song. But when I first caught a whiff the Johnny Cash rendition in the trailer for True Grit, I said “Wow! That’s bad!”



Now, I see the song being used in a lot of commercials that have nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.

From Wikipedia

The lyrics are a warning to sinners that no matter how hard they try, they will not avoid God's judgment; in the chorus, God tells the narrator of the song to
“
Go tell that long tongue liar,
go and tell that midnight rider,tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
”

You best believe that!

In any event it’s a killer song that Johnny puts his special imprint.

Stunning Video: Legendary Jimmy Buffett Hospitalized After Falling Off Stage

CBS News reports that singer Jimmy Buffett was rushed to the hospital after falling of stage at the end of a concert in Sydney Wednesday.

Australia's Daily Telegraph reports that audience members saw the 64-year-old fall face first off the stage and hit his head.

"We were in the 10th row and it looked like he did a massive face plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up,'' audience member Dan Bateman, 30, told the newspaper.

Another concert-goer told TMZ that Buffett appeared to be unconscious for five to ten minutes and had a large gash on his head.

Sean Fogarty, who also sat in the front row at the show, recalled to the gossip site that Buffet was doing a solo and was walking along the edge of the stage when a "a huge flash of light" appeared, making it impossible to see and what led him to fall. Fogarty says he later heard Buffet's head strike metal as he fell off stage.
