Thank you now I know.Grand Barong wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 4:21 pm Yes, Looks like theirs a bit of truth in that urban myth... Visited University on weekend & wrote song in a few days.
"Man in Black" (or "The Man in Black") is a protest song written and recorded by singer-songwriter Johnny Cash, originally released on his 1971 album of the same name. Cash himself was known as "The Man in Black" for his distinctive style of on-stage costuming. The lyrics are an after-the-fact explanation of this with the entire song as a protest statement against the treatment of poor people by wealthy politicians, mass incarceration, and the war in Vietnam. In the intro to his first performance of the song, Johnny Cash revealed he had talked to some of the audience members from Vanderbilt University that weekend, and was inspired to write "Man in Black," revising it a few times just before the concert on Wednesday. He performed the song using cards with the just-revised lyrics. At the end of the song he received a standing ovation.

Re: What Music Are You Playing Tonight?
small world. I just looked this up after listening because i liked it and I know one of the dudes who owns it. I actually did some music on his label
Definitive Jux was a record label based in New York City. It was co-founded in 1999 by El-P and Amaechi Uzoigwe.[1]
Amaechi is a cool ass dude. He used to have a big loft by the south street seaport. He put a few of my songs on some compilation cds.
