This is a sad story, but should be interesting to anyone who loves home design or history. The home Johnny Cash loved, and Barry Gibb purchased after Cash's death, is now a lost piece of history.

After being the abode of the "man in black", the poor house couldn't stand being owned by a BeeGee and self-ignited......film at eleven.

If no one lived there isn't it a house, not a home?

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher...
Methinks the Johnny's ghost didn't like the idea of a Bee Gee living in his house.
A piece of history lost, certainly. But a rather poetic end if you ask me.

I almost said house, but reading the story convinced me this was still the Cash home.

That's really too bad. Johnny's legacy lives on, though. Hope it wasn't arcen for insurance.

What was Gibb's comment after surviving the blaze?
"Ah ah ah ah stayin alive, stayin alive..."

A fitting funeral pyre for a musical giant. 3 years late, but fitting.
At least the place can't be turned into some type of Graceland exhibit.
At 2.3 Mil I do hope it was insured.
