That is perhaps the best way to describe Johnny Cash's cover of the NIN song "Hurt". Yes, I'd heard enough about the Man In Black's cover ... and having been a secret country music fan (the old stuff, thank you) since childhood, I had to indulge. :)

Besides that, I have a CD by a group called Bowling For Soup. It almost reminds me of my initial reaction to BNL's Gordon - Interesting band name, quirky song titles ("Surfing In Colorado", "The Girl All The Bad Guys Want", etc.), it's all there. Never heard of them before tonight, when their CD caught my attention in Target. So, yeah, I had to pounce. From what I've heard, I'm glad I did.

And today is my dad's birthday. :) He's 39 (and holding). Today, I realized that despite my past history with him, I'm glad that I inherited my sense of humor and sense of direction from him. He can take back the allergies and sinus problems, though. Even though he doesn't read this ... Happy Birthday Dad!
