Johnny Cash was another matter. I didn't care for him for years.

 
My room mate at Uni played his records incessantly!
Cash never sang in tune with the "white keys" nor the
"black keys" but always on the cracks in between.

There are those who sing other people's songs well and those who write
their own songs but fall down one the voice part.  My wife hates it when
I play John Prine. I know his voice was not great but his lyrics are
great.  I have heard Leonard Cohen songs sung beautifully by other
people.  One problem I have with a lot of modern singers is that they
can't seem to hit a note accurately and hold it. Instead they warble
their way up and down the scale singing through notes. Just listen to
the way they do national anthems these days. I cringe all the way
through them.

What kind of idiot listens to national anthems?
