    Heard that for the first time this year. Gross on his part.

    Heard the “Fast Car” remake this year too. The guy didn’t change how he’s working “as a checkout girl”, which was spectacular.

    Being a woman is not shameful. Being a hypothetical woman’s mouthpiece is not shameful. Get it together Michael.

      The first time that I heard him sing that song was at his concert that I was dragged to by my ex-girlfriend. I don’t even like country but man he seems like such a great guy and has a good voice. Anyway, I think that changing lyrics that someone else wrote to fit an idea is pretty lame and is a stain on the original writer. Just sing the damn song dude. Who knows maybe it wasn’t even his idea but it’s still dumb

          I do prefer Reznor’s version still, personally, but I’m a huge fan of NIN. Regardless, Cash’s changes were perfectly fine and definitely make it more radio friendly too.

            It depends on my mood, but most of the time I prefer Reznor’s as well.

            I think there are some situations where it works is all.
