Johnny Cash and his music were long ago - weaved into American folklore.
(NATSOUND MUSIC 19:34 stock footage tape)
"BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE, I WALK THE LINE."
He was known as the man in black.
(Song from humanitarian award tape ) "
I WEAR THE BLACK FOR THE POOR AND THE BEATEN DOWN, LIVING IN THE HUNGRY
HOPELESS SIDE OF TOWN AND I WEAR IT FOR THE PRISONER"
Cash sang about the common man--something he told Kurt Loder of MTV News
in his last televised interview.

"I WOULDN'T LET ANYBODY INFLUENCE ME INTO THINKING I WAS DOING THE WRONG
THING ABOUT SINGING ABOUT DEATH, HELL AND DRUGS CAUSE I'VE ALWAYS DONE
THAT AND I ALWAYS WILL."
Cash's biggest hit came in 1969 with a funny song about a boy with a
girl's name.
"SOME GAL WOULD GIGGLE AND I'D TURN RED. AND SOME GUY WOULD LAUGH AND I
WOULD BUST HIS HEAD I'LL TELL YA LIFE AIN'T EASY FOR A BOY NAMED SUE."
He won 11 grammys and.was inducted into the Rock and Roll and Country
Music halls of fame.
He was honored with the Humanitarian award.
And most recently was recognized by MTV for the Nine Inch Nails song
Hurt.

Ritter made Threes Company a smash hit in the 1970s and staged a

Ritter graduated from Hollywood High School and years later, found a

Johns star was placed next to his fathers Western film star and
country musician Tex Ritter. All morning, fans have been coming by to
leave flowers and other things to remember him by.

The vote was unanimous, though the United States and France abstained from voting.
A deal was reached this week to partially compensate relatives of the victims of a French airliner bombing in 1989. It was that agreement that cleared the way for today's vote.
The move was really only a symbolic gesture, because the sanctions had been suspended indefinitely --after Libya handed over suspects in the bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland a year earlier.
