exactly. trent penned the song at the nadir of his addiction, his youthful self involvement collapsing into itself. johnny sang the song as an old man looking back and regretting the people he hurt and recognizing the foolishness of his own youthful self pity. "crown of thorns" is kind of self aggrandizing and silly on its own, but coupled with "on my liars chair" it neatly underscores johnny's take on the song

i don't want to denigrate the greater achievement of actually writing the song; i'm just saying i think cash's version is improved

(in general, singers get too much credit and songwriters don't get enough)

I have two women friends who work in neuroscience and they have horrible stories about horrible co-workers. Sorry!

I can share with you instead this lovely factoid:
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2015/08/26/3695728/virginia-shooting-workplace-homicide/

quote:

Women are far more susceptible to being murdered at work than men. While women have a lower workplace fatality rate — there were 302 fatal workplace injuries involving female workers in 2013 — 22 percent of them involved a homicide, making it the leading cause of death. For men, just 8 percent related to a homicide. That’s thanks to the fact that for victims of domestic violence, who are overwhelmingly female, the workplace is an ideal target for an abuser, given that it’s often a public and easy-to-find place. A woman is killed by an intimate partner at work about twice a month.

ultimately i agree with your point but i think both versions are excellent in their own ways. making qualitative judgements on one vs. the other is not worth the bother in my mind, it's apples and oranges

my initial reaction was similar, but on further thought the coupling with "liars chair" makes it a brilliant self deflating jab, whether it was done intentionally or not

it only does streaming so it doesn't really need storage for anything other than the firmware

i really like the audio chromecast, the stereo i use for music doesn't have a tv attached to it so the chromecast is perfect for it (before i would just plug my phone into one of the line ins)

yeah. it's still streaming

lots of apps support it, so you can get your netflix, spotify, google play (obviously), hbo go/now on there, even podcast apps i think

only notable omission is amazon video
