no wants to hear this, but Johnny Cash is overrated and his cover of that song is waaay overrated - it's funny, about 5 years ago liking Johnny Cash wasn't cool at all and now he has all this street cred 'cuz of the film and Rick Rubin. He wrote repetitive rockabilly music - Rick Rubin's production is the only thing responsible for making him sound current or "edgy"

He was a good lyricist, I'll give him that, but that song was a NIN classic - and a cover can never remotely stand up to the original
