"An oscar winner, thats for sure. If it's not, then it's fixed!" thats what my cousin said tonight after the movie.

I agree whole heartedly. For Joaquin Phoenix to have gotten all those little habits, the lip curl as he says a certain word or sound, the shrug of his shoulders when he hitches the guitar up a little more, swinging the guitar around to his back...well he must've studied Mr J.R. Cash's movements and speech patterns for ages. I applaud him. His singing was...superb, I couldn't believe that he actually sang everything himself it was so good, and so close to Johnny.

At First I didn't think Reese Witherspoon would make the cut for June Carter, boy did she prove me wrong. She's sure got some talent on her that's for sure. Now, the music clearly won't be to everyones taste but oh man, I was tappin' my foot almost the whole time.

What can I say? I'm a country music lover.

God, the things Mr. Cash went through in his life I couldn't imagine handling. I've had my fair share of tragedies, and heartaches and heartbreaks, but losing a sibling and being told it should have been me dead by my own father? *Shudders,* It was....sad and heart-warming. Interesting to see Elvis, and Waylon Jennings not to mention Jerry Lee Lewis all as they started out.

God can you imagine?

Walking up the rafters stairs, to listen and to watch this beautiful creature you've just met sing her voice away and to here a man say,

"She's sure got some voice on her," You look over and all you can see is the shadow of the man sitting on the couch. You can see the curl of hair pulled forwards over his forehead. Elvis Presley....

God it would have been, a ride that's for sure. A rush like no other. Of course Johnny wouldn't have known who Elvis would become. But just to be out there, doing something with your life, with others who are like you. Singing and talking to a crowd, driving them crazy everytime you open your mouth.

Christ, it's made me miss theatre, even just the amateur stuff...that ride afterwards is enough to keep you flying for hours.

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

The Ring Of Fire



She wrote it, He sang it. They were beautiful together.
