I remember 3 or 4 times they didnt think he would make it, and at least one time was prior to cutting that album and making that video. There is a reason it was so popular, and you are missing it.

I love nine inch nails, and I have always loved johnny cash...but the song fit SO_WELL into johnny cash's life at the time he sang it...and when he sang it live at that awards show, oh fuck, I lost it....everyone knew he was about to die, and half the audience was in tears
I will tell you this, and realize i do like nine inch nails, but johnny cash is one of the greatest entertainers of our time, he touched more lives and sang from his heart more than any whiney trent reznor ever did...
