I think it's safe to say that anyone on 1001 has a passion for music and a shared disgust for the marketing machine. The industry that controls access, dictates what we should listen to and often steals from artists is abhorrent and easy to hate. Truth be told tho, I wouldn't have given Johnny Cash any attention without the marketing machine in the 90's. When Rick Rubin started working with Cash, a movie was developed and suddenly Cash, a relic of the past, was cool, relevant and wow, a badass. "Mistakes are beautiful," my daughter often reminds me. Cash's direct address to the crowd, the hooting and hollering, the cheers, the missteps and imperfections are refreshing. Cash's live prison recordings are remarkable because of how personal, simple and real they are. This music seems as far from the machine as you can get.
