I feel bad that I never knew who John Ritter was. I blame myself because I don't watch a lot of TV anymore (usually less than 30 minutes a day on the weekdays before I go to school, and nil on the weekends or off weekdays).

However, I have known of Johnny Cash for quite a while. My mother has been a fan of him and his music for a very long time, and I have come to enjoy his music, as well. When I first saw the footage of him being played this morning on TV, I took a deep breath and realized what had happened before I even heard anyone say anything. Then it was on my mind for most of the day.

Johnny Cash AND John Ritter...sad sad day in the entertainment business...on a lighter note jack tripper's testicle popped out on three is company as he jumped over a couch n some guy in minesota had freeze frame on n saw it so now they play two versions of that episode now...oh well just sayin

well, johnny cash slipped away peacefully in his sleep at 1:00 AM this morning, so, we know hes in a better place, but he lived a full and happy life, lets celebrate what cash and ritter did, they both were brilliant, cash was an old southern man, and ritter was....ritter, which is a good thing. they were both fathers, married, but cashes wife june carter cash passed away this spring. they both did great things. i gotta say threes company was so damn funny, in the cheesiest way, that it was funnier! cashes music was deep, thoughtful, and very emotional. may both these men go on to a great place.

RIP johnny cash!!

-sheds a tear-

Yeah..i heard about that on conan o'brien. The lengths some people go through for attention..

john ritter was so amazing.....he will be sorely missed

I most certainly dont mean to show any disrespect for the man (Johnny Cash) but i mean jeez, his re-made version of the NIN song "Hurt" is terrible. He sings off-key, and shaky...he pauses in the wrong spots, and he replaced the term "crown of shit" with "crown of thorns" what's the problem with "shit" its not a huge curse-word, and besides, if the dude's gonna re-make something as good as a NIN song he shouldnt change any lyrics or shit like that. It just kinda bugged me how he re-did the song and it sucked...but i'm sure he was a great influence on the america music industry and a great man, and i hope he's in a better place, possibly with his wife ;)

well just so you know, NIN's Trent Reznor liked the song very much. and in my opinion, the song was extremely good. A lot of feeling went into it. but i will agree with you and say his singing was a little "shaky".

sad news..fucked up news

shut up, that was an amazing song, hurt is so much better when cash sings it than when NIN sings it, so shut your ass up, NIN is good but cash can make any great song better, so please, don't make an ass out of yourself.

we're gonna miss u mr.cash farewell and good luck

its a sad day indeed.someone got to make tributes to em both.they were both great artists in there own field and i'll miss em.

Hell-Raiser

LARGER than life characters don't come much larger than Johnny Cash.

His gravel voice and his rough, tough looks reflected his rip-roaring, rebellious lifestyle.
The Man In Black was certainly no saint.
But he'll know by now if he's gone to Heaven.
Or whether he's waking up with a burning Ring of Fire.

I heard about it ,Johnny Cash was awsome he should of won the Mtv video awards for best video fuck missy elliot or whatever her fucking name is that over grown sea cow bitch.Threes Company was a very good show to bad John had to die.):

yeah dude, I agree Johnny Cash deserved every award he was nominated for...goddamn rap luving youth..HURT rules!!!

Its weird how they were both named john died on the same day and died within an hour of eachother but I guess thats the way god made it happen. John Ridder Died of a heart problem that happens really quick without warning, johnny cash just died of old age maybe they were suppose to meet in heaven or something and one day make a difference as new lives

I Was A Big Fan Of John Ritter His Comdey Was Very Good 3's Company Was A Great Show My Mom Loves That Show I Guess Thats Why I lik The Show Too I Also Like This Show From John Ritter Were He Plays A Father And If You Know John Ritter Like I Do Then You Know The Show Am Talking About Its Called 8 Simple Rules For Dating My TEnnage Dauther It Is A Great Show One Of My Faves I Will All Ways Remember John Ritter,And Johnny Cash Well I Never Knew Him But I heard About Him For The First Time At The MTV VMA Awards He Was Nomminated For Alot Of ThemIt Was Great But He Dident Win But He Was In The Hosplital That Day So Anyways Alot Of Rappers And Artist's Knew Him And His Music I Guess I Should Have Listened To His Music More But I Dont Know Why I Did But When He Was Nomminated I HErd One Of His Songs 'Hurt' And That Song Was Great I Liked It Alot So Even Though I Dident Know Him As Much As John Ritter I Hope That John Ritter And Johnny Cash Are In A Better Place Now And They Will Never Be For Got (John Ritter 1948 - 2003) (Johnny Cash 1932 - 2003)

Farewell to two legends..

Cash and Ritter...goodbye, and see you on the other side...both were men of legend in their respective manners.

sad indeed....sad indeed

alright, first off, the reason why he changed the lyrics from "crown of shit" to "crown of thorns" is because after his wife died he became a DEVOUT christian and swore off all vices and immoral behavior. And besides who has went through more pain and suffering more than jesus? and seeing that i havent been in a church in years and sometimes blaspheme and question religon that means alot. I personally believe that he was right in doing that and besides who says all covers have to be as good as the original? (not that i am saying cash's version is worse it is just different) if you need more proof listen to the cd "kiss my a**" and that is how its spelled ill say ass if i want to. most of those suck but some dont they are just different, and another reason, the man was 70 when he made that song when you are 70 send me something with you singing on it and we'll see if your voice isnt shaking

What a pity. No more 8 simple rules then huh?

this story,as sad as it may be, has gotten old and exploided by the media too many times in the day that has passed n i dont really wanna talk about it anymore RIP 2 famous dead johns n the 2 million johns that arent famous that died.....its only sad cuz they were famous anyway

As sand falling through the hour glass, so the time of our lifes fall. With every breath, every blink the sands of time push against us like the unearthly passion of fire. We at phlashko inc would like to hold a moment of silence for the loss of 2 greats.....................................................................
. thank you
