june died and johnny was soon to follow, he was in and out of the hospital, yesterday he was released and he died in bed.


im almost in tears about this, what do you say---everyone loved johnny cause johnny had balls.
johnny told the record labels to fuck off, told the good old boys to crawl in their holes, told nashville to listen, to mother maybelle and waylon jennings. he told the world to straighten out.

johnny told us about ira hayes and jesus christ.
johnny kept the light coming, because he knew that if he didnt darkness would come.
johnny heard the yearning for humanity and god in will oldham, made a funeral prayer out of i see a darkness.
johnny heard the anger in trent reznor and made it the anthem of his work going forward .

on the floor of heaven today, june, johnny and all the carters are singing will the circle go unbroken.
