LOL Award winner "Best Blog Comment Of The Week"! Reminds me of that somewhat recent news article about bands getting covered in pigeon poop at that one outdoor venue. Back about 1980 I was taking a tour of Carlsbad Caverns and an anglo tour guide was trying to explain to a busload of Japanese tourists how tons of guano were extracted in the early days after the cavern's discovery. He was really struggling to get the mesaage across!

I think it's in part because Cash presented a consistent, mysterious, mythic persona. Bare changed in a way that made it look like he wasn't sure what he was supposed to be. In some clips he's the bearded "Outlaw". Here, he looks like the character he plays in "Lincoln Park Inn".
