I might not go quite that far, but I'm sure there are a lot of similarities in some songs.

the subject matter may often be similar - desperate men living on the edge of society, addicted to drugs and alcohol, being violent and disrespecting women - but the endings and message are different and that's what matters.

In Long Black Veil Cash's protagonist chooses un unjust execution rather than betray the confidence of an adulterous woman.

If Ice-T wrote it, he would have shot the b!tch, the judge and the cops and left town to set up a cocaine empire.

Completely off topic- Ice-T has vending machines in his house because he was sick of people coming over and mooching all his food and pop.

I must admit after seeing your comments I scrolled thru most of the rest of the thread because I was quite sure that someone would post this picture.

**I don't mean to say that to you.**

Ice-T has his points but there are vast differences as well as similarities.

Is that a 12-string?
