Classic country fans! Who is it about and who said it?


"I've often wondered if gangsta rappers know how little seperates their tale of ghetto thug life from ____________ tales of backwoods thug life. "

Quentin Tarantino, on Johnny Cash

"I've often wondered," Quentin Tarantino writes in his liner notes to Murder, "if gangsta rappers know how little separates their tales of ghetto thug life from Johnny Cash's tales of backwoods thug life. Cash sings tales of men trying to escape--escape the law, escape the poverty they were born into, escape prison, escape madness. But the one thing Cash never lets them escape is regret. Unlike most gangsta rap, Cash's criminal life songs rarely take place during the high times [but] after the cell door has slammed shut or a judge's gavel has condemned a man to death."
