Dear Johnny Cash,
You have been my idol for most of my life. I’ve always been in love with country music, but you are the founder. There is a legend for every genre, Michael Jackson for pop music, Ella Fitzgerald for jazz, John Mayer for singer songwriter… you are the king of country. Your wonderful genre has developed and changed so much throughout the years, but every once in awhile i’ll hear a new artist that reminds me of you. I went to see your museum in Nashville last year and it was a truly memorable experience. You live on in everyone's memories through your music, image, and love for June. Your image of the man in black and all you stand for shows how passionate you were about the problems in society. You always wore black to remind people that there are still bad things happening in the world and you swore ti never wear a suit of white till the world was a better place. If you were still around i'm sure you sadly would still be wearing black. Your love for June Carter was so strong in your music that it has lived on through the years and there are still many references to "a love like Johnny and June" in so many songs. I wish I could have met you! I think we would have gotten alone.
