“I am not afraid to make difficult decisions. I know that with leadership comes responsibility. For the past 20 years I have taken care of my employees and their families and have learned that leadership means personal sacrifice. It means putting the needs of others before your own. I am going to bring that same mentality to Baton Rouge. As Commissioner of the Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, I will bring the entire experience of my career. I will lead the effort of expanding Louisiana’s reach and creating economic diversification through what is uniquely ours.”
- Today marks the debut of JohnnyCash.com Radio. The member newsletter says that the broadcast will feature interviews with Cash family members, associates, friends and fans.

I’m listening right now and they’re playing a version of “Ring of Fire” that Johnny Cash is singing in Spanish.
