I’ve been really sick this week with both an ear infection and a cold. I absolutely never watch television, this week being the rare exception. While watching “Half A Mile A Day,” a biography of Johnny Cash (whom I adore) I learned that the beloved poet Shel Silverstein (whom I also adore) wrote my favorite Johnny Cash song: A Boy Named Sue. The song was first recorded at San Quentin and became a huge success. As you can see from the video above, Shel Silverstein’s talent does not lie in his ability to entertain musically.
