Not sure what makes you think I haven't studied the theory of evolution ...
Well, perhaps he wrote that because most your statements are simply repetition of common misconceptions.
For example, there HAVE been observed instances of one species evolving into another, both in the lab and in the wild. Just paste the previous sentence into Google if you actually want to do some research on this.
But hey, this really does have nothing to do with Johnny Cash. Sorry!
I shall offer my meager knowledge about evolution. A species CAN evolve, but only within its species. Fossil remains have proven to scientists that evolution from salamander to human does not exist. There are huge gaps between Darwin's theory (and why is Darwin's "theory" allowed as fact in schools while the concept of a Creator is negated?) of evolution and the archaeological discoveries that decry his theory. I do believe in evolution, to a point. Species were compelled to evolve as much as they could in order to survive the changes around them. Still - if carried to extreme, I shall cite the ever-popular posit: "If human evolved from the apes, why are there still apes?" And I'd carry it a step further: From whence did the apes evolve?
It's a deep, sometimes theological discussion, one not really suitable for this forum. I love it that the late Man in Black can still kick anthills. RIP, Mr. Cash. We'll probably be talking about your life, music, and beliefs for as long as we live.
I'm sorry if this comes across as mean (I don't intend it to, but it's difficult to get that across the interwebs), but your reply above shows that you really should go and read up on the theory of evolution. Also, the reason it's taught in schools is that there is evidence for it (and nothing that definitively disproves it). The concept of a creator is negated in (most) schools because it has no reliable evidence for it, and a whole lot against.
Great song tho :p
Agree with toomany - the original poster just needs to do a bit more research. Google will get you there, my friend!
I can't resist responding to one thing though. Darwin's theory is taught in schools as just that - a theory. It happens to be a theory with overwhelming evidence, so you might as well accept it as fact until some better theory comes along. That's about as close to a "fact" as you get in science, unlike what you may be used to in church. The reason "creation theory" isn't taught is that there's really no accepted scientific evidence for it. Sorry. Keep it in church, it's not science.
But anyway, the main point is that God and religion is a fine topic for a Johnny Cash song - I have no problem with that at all. It's just NOT a topic for science class.
You're all mad. Awful middle of the road over-worthy fake rock, perfect for the shallow consumerist western cultures that feed the bloated corporations Bono and his like suckle at the teat of. He is an utter prick.
Whether he's a prick sucking at a tit, I don't know....
But I do know I don't enjoy the song. Pretentious crap, in my not-so-humble opinion.
All of that person's posts have been on different days. If the song was played each of those times, it's fair game for them to comment I think. There haven't been many other comments so maybe noone else was interested at the time - again, fair enough for someone to comment, it's not their fault noone else happened to.
This song is the reason why I love Radio Paradise. I can't believe this song is 15 years old and I've never heard it until now! Needless to say, I just added it to my Amazon.Com Wishlist.
Well said, well said. (just had to outdo the other dude.)
When I was a kid I used to discover new stuff on "old grey whistle test". Times have changed! Anyone know what i'm t4lkn bout?
I think that Sax thing at the end is gonna be liked by people who are into music more in an intellectual way, but those of us who listen with our gut have a hard time with it. It kind of throws you off.
As a RP listener old enough to remember the early Neil Young stuff, I think this is timeless. So there.
Hey, I'm old enough to remember the early stuff too - back when Internet Radio was the stuff of science fiction. (Except even William Gibson couldn't predict something as cool as Radio Paradise.) Actually, I think Neil is great. Just my personal opinion that this song was lame.
Wow, can't imagine giving this a 0.
Well, it's certainly not for everyone. Doesn't do a thing for me. I keep waiting for the music to start...

Huh. I was a big fan back in their prime (Led Zep IV and previous). But this leaves me cold.

It sounds just like all the other crap they do.
Really, really hate them at this point.
You don't agree with my rating? Fine. Give it your own rating...
But....
Yeah. An 8.
