Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

That's interesting. Any similarity to Depeche Mode's song of the same title? Marc

Absolutely - it's a cover version, and as such an excellent one. It catches what made the original songgreat AND adds a unique voice to it. Johnny Cash isn't much "my" music, but the Album it's from - American IV: The Man Comes Around - has three excellent cover versions: Hurt from NIN (the one he'll probably be rememberd for by <= my age), Bridge over troubled water, and Personal Jesus.

Have you heard Johnny Cash's cover of U2's "One?"

The first time I heard Hurt, it snuck up on me listening in the car. I suddenly realized that it was Johnny Cash singing a NIN song. Who would've thought (NIN and Depeche Mode) being redone by him. Brilliant.

nothing, but I just finished watching King Kong[^] :suss:

Thanks for that link. Never heard Hurt or Personal Jesus before (far too old). A real treat to listen to Cash & the original versions. Thanks again.

That is one of those few songs that I like the second version better. I also prefer Cash's version of Hurt.

It's sundown: tree frogs, some kind of bird and lots and lots and lots of toads / frogs in the pond and swampy area out back. It's kind of nice to listen to, particularly on a rainy night with the bedroom windows open, all you hear are zillions of frogs ribbiting all night.

The first time I ever heard Depeche Mode Personal Jesus was as a young lad fresh out of high school, on my own and at a strip bar in Ottawa Ontario, it made quite an impression and I can still visualize it all to this day. ;)
