The Man In Black On MySpace

July 6th, 2006

More than The Man In Black -- The Man.

The latest Johnny Cash album was released July 4. Part of the marketing involves the MySpace page over here.

As a lifelong Cash fan, I’m happy to see that there have been more than 2.3 million plays of the songs posted on the page. It’s a little weird to see that Johnny has “104850 billion friends” on MySpace and to read a posting by “June Carter,” but the comments people have posted about Johnny and his music (6,331 as I write this) are, for the most part, flattering and on the mark.

All this from simply posting a few streaming songs and a notice of the release date. Not too shabby.
