Okay, so after seeing Walk the Line (and doing some independent research) I've had an astounding revelation: Alan Shore is Bob Dylan and Denny Crane is Johnny Cash.


From this site

After a while at that, l wrote Bob a letter telling him how much of a fan I was. He wrote back almost immediately, saying he'd been following my music since "I Walk the Line,'' and so we began a correspondence.

Mostly it was about music: what we ourselves were doing, what other people were doing, what I knew about so-and-so and he didn't and vice versa. He asked me about country people; I asked him about the circles he moved in. I still have all his letters, locked up in my vault.

It wasn't a long correspondence. We quit after we actually met each other, when I went to play the Newport Folk Festival in July of 1964. I don't have many memories of that event, but I do remember June and me and Bob and Joan Baez in my hotel room, so happy to meet each other that we were jumping on the bed like kids.

I don't really have much to say besides "OTP!!!"

AWWWW!!! That's fucking cute.

I wanna see that movie. I saw a preview and Joaquin Phoenix blew me away. He was dead on.

I'm not all that familiar with Johnny Cash (or his music, really) but I thought the movie was excellent. And when they performed "It Ain't Me, Babe" I totally recognized it before they got to the chorus.

He does a lot of singing, actually, which I found surprising because even in music documentaries they usually play a few minutes of the song and then just cut to something else. Anyway, I recommend it.

I grew up listening to Johnny Cash... oh man. My Dad loves him. And Vincent's father LOVED him. He always sang "Walk The Like" in the shower..

But anyway, yeah Dylan and Cash? I'm surprised the world didn't implode when they met. And I love the versions songs you posted too.

You know what I got from Walk the Line? Huge Cash/Presley vibes.

Actually, it's really just the one scene where Elvis and Scotty and Bill are doing "That's All Right", and Johnny stands behind the curtain and stares at him appraisingly for a really really really long time. Huh? Am I right?

So will Alan Shore be stalking me on the IMDB while pretending to be Johnny Cash?

WILLIAM SHATNER will be stalking you. Be afraid.
