They had a tribute night for Johnny. The juke box was playing mostly old punk but when Cash came on (especially during Folsom Prison) the place went nuts. People were yelling and throwing beers, singing along. Then, later on they switched off the box and after some yelling by the bartenders, a tattooed punk with bagpipes played Johnny home with 'Amazing Grace'. I've never seen so many punks, skinheads, and greasers all well up and forget all of the stupid tough guy bullshit. A very suitable evening to remember Johnny.
