Red headed stranger or the man in black?

i'm a big fan of willie nelson and johnny cash - two of the all time greats, in my opinion, who span genres and influence many.

just wondering which one of these two greats my fellow audiogoner's prefer and which one you think has been more influential. no real reason for this question, just a bit bored on a sunday night.

and by the way, i'm leaning towards the man in black on both accounts

Awfully tough question. Love them both, tremendous artists, true ground breakers. I guess I'll give Willie the nod if only because he has done something like 10 farmaid concerts. He also recently created his own brand of bourbon, the raw materials are purchased only from small local farms.
Musically its a wash, no way to say which was more influential, talented, etc. Cash was MORE influential into the other genres he ventured into, while Willie ventured into more.

Tom,
I highly recommend seeing Willie in concert. I have seen him twice and he is very good. He has amazing energy for a man his age, he often goes from one song right into another without pause, and will do it for hours.
