The Johnny Cash Project

Eight years ago we lost "The Man in Black."Johnny Cash in my opinion, was the coolest artist ever. He was more than a song-writing genius, he owned his brand. Cash only wore black on stage, he performed in prisons, and overcame dark days of addiction, all of which contributed to his nickname, "The Man in Black." Even though he was a devout Christian man who was married for 35 years, he had an edge about him that was missing from the Country world. His last single was called "Ain't No Grave" has an iconic line for his fans in light of his passing,"There ain’t no grave can hold my body down." To honor Cash, Google Chrome came out with The Johnny Cash Project. It allows fans of "The Man in Black" all around the world to design a frame of his last music video. It is such a beautiful way to connect fans virtually to have a personal part in Cash's last work of art. I love this idea, and I hope more artists join in virtual tributes for their fans.
