HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. - Johnny Cash's longtime lakeside home, a showcase where he wrote much of his famous music and entertained U.S. presidents, music royalty and visiting fans, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday.


Disco Inferno connection:
The property was purchased by Barry Gibb, a member of the Bee Gees, in January 2006. Gibb and his wife, Linda, had said they planned to restore the home on Old Hickory Lake and hoped to write songs there. They had not yet moved in to the home.

"The cause is unknown, but Steele said the flames spread quickly because construction workers had recently applied a flammable wood preservative to the exterior of the house. The preservative was also being applied inside the house." :eusa_doh:

That house had one more guest for dinner on several occasions, me.

Very sad to see it go. It was such a peaceful place, with a great history.

But the studio survives, so part of Johnny's vibe in a place survives. A wonderful man and a wonderful family. Johnny's brother Tommy, who sold the house for the family, was in tears tonight in an interview I saw on the tube.

 

[Story]

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you...
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned,
But all of it's gonna burn.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
You know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time burn your mind.
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you've done.
Fire, to end all you've become.
I'll feel you burn!

What has this to do with the loss of the Cash' house?

Glad you caught that. Remarkable screw up, eh? Fire dept response was immediate but it supposedly burnt down in 5 minutes.

If I'm not mistaken the house was sold, I hear law suit in the winds, stupid construction workers here (flammable wood? good grief :eusa_doh: )
I'm just glad Johnny Cash didn't witness this.
