Totally agree. Just a pity we need a Rick Rubin to make people like Diamond and Cash 'fashionable' again. That's not a criticism of Rubin by the way, it's a criticism of the pigeon-holing of music and the narrow parameters of what the music industry tells people is 'cool'.
Nobody gave a f*ck about Johnny Cash in the 80's, now Hurt's everyone's favourite video. By the end of the year I'm sure I'll be able to sing 'Cracklin' Rosie' without getting slagged!

Was brought up listening to Diamond, my mums all time favourite.
Cracklin Rosie is one of my favourite songs of all time, enough to make me name my daughter Rosie.I used to sing it to her all the time, but she gets a bit pissed off with me now.
As for Cash, there was some cracking stuff on BBC4 last night.
