Happy birthday, Johnny Cash. The fact that the man left us 11 years ago should not prevent us from celebrating his incredible life. If you want to send your birthday wishes to the Man in Black, or for that matter, throw your own Johnny Cash Birthday Bash, here are a few pointers.

Personally, I've gone so far as to throw a Johnny Cash birthday party complete with black birthday cake and a band doing covers of his tunes.

A few things to consider when throwing your birthday bash would include:

  • Decor - perhaps you could decorate your house like Folsom Prison.
  • Band - Country folk, Metal-heads, Punkers, little old ladies, even newborn babies, all love Johnny Cash. The man has more crossover appeal than Linda Ronstadt before she got chunky.
  • Food - any food or hors d'ouevres will do, so long as it's black.
  • Costumes - this is a no brainer.

Happy birthday, Johnny, and thank you again for a job well done.
