Hello, I'm a Johnny Cash Poster

It's still hard to believe he's gone, but the music of Johnny Cash will remain with us for a long time

I have always thought that Johnny Cash posters are pretty cool. There are lots of popular music posters with more flare and pizzazz than Johnny Cash posters, it is true.

You will find no fancy graphics, no special effects – none of that window dressing.

What you will find, though is the compelling visage of Johnny Cash, an American hero, and a man with depth. And a man of depth and talent is worth a million different cheap artistic works.

Anyone with the money can hire fancy graphics, but you can not “hire” an honest and soulful face like that, no matter how hard you try.

The first Johnny Cash poster that I ever had was in college. It actually belonged to my roommate in my freshman year dorm room. He was the one to get me into Johnny Cash songs in the first place.

At the time, I had the popular opinion that all country music was just there for ignorant rednecks and hicks, and so was shocked by the Johnny Cash posters on the wall, but boy did he show me how wrong I was.

We would stay up all night listening to Johnny Cash music, and talking about, well, just about anything and everything that there was out there to talk about. 

 

It wasn't long before I had a few Johnny Cash posters of my own, and from that day forward, every wall of every house that I have lived in has been adorned with the face of Johnny Cash.

 

The man has become practically like an American idol to me, and I do not find idols easily.

 

I have ordered Johnny Cash posters off of Internet sites such as Amazon before, and that is all right if you are just looking for one image or two to spruce up your room nicely. But for the pure collector, nothing in the world beats actually inspecting the merchandise for yourself.

 

You can say what you want, but going out to poster shops and getting vintage Johnny Cash posters is, for me, one of the most pleasant of all possible pastimes.

 

There is simply nothing better than discovering originals which I though would be forever out of my reach in convenient locales.

 

I do not want you to think that I am obsessed with Johnny Cash posters – far from it. It is just simply that I know what I like, what inspires me, and what adds joy and happiness to my life every day.
