Her life was saved by rock 'n' roll

"‘I wish I could love,’ cried Dorian Gray, with a deep note of pathos in his voice. ‘But I seem to have lost the passion, and forgotten the desire. I am too much concentrated on myself. My own personality has become a burden to me. I want to escape, to go away, to forget.’"
―
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (via atothelison

“I’d rather die than retire,” Johnny Cash told Rolling Stone in November 2002. “Like a shark — got to keep moving.” This portrait, taken in Cash’s home by Martin Schoeller, captures the fierce optimism of The Man in Black, who passed away eleven months later. “He doesn’t hide from his age or illness,” says Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine. “He faces the camera with all he’s got left. It’s as honest a portrait as I’ve seen, and somehow, lurking in the wrinkles and lines and cloudy eyes, there’s a great amount of humanity and humor still burning strong. That’s Cash.”
