Sam Stone

Excited when I first saw that Johnny Cash covered Sam Stone. Then I heard how he left out what is probably the most powerful line in the song; "Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose."
I wonder why he did that. Did the show's producers make him? Was he in his Jesus phase? You haven't heard that song till you've heard John Prine do it.
One more criticism, an odd one; JC does too much singing in his version. Prine delivers it more conversationally, like a talking blues, without the humor. That seems to work better for this tale of woe.
