"Why Men Bond with the 007 Theme...
The manly 'James Bond Theme' hits a psychological note; feelings of invincibility, memories of Dad"

So... in anticipation of next year's Hulabilly theme let me share my childhood story of James Bond vs. Johnny Cash. In the early 1970's our home only had one television set and so the family always had to compromise on what to watch in the evenings. One particular night, I was really looking forward to one of the Sean Connery Bond films. To my dismay, my father preempted my selection with his choice of a Johnny Cash TV special. When I protested, commenting that country music was lame and that Bond was cooler, my father responded "Listen I grew up 'Grapes of Wrath' poor, fought in WWII and Korea, and you don't know shit !!".

Yes, the Bond theme is cool but when compared to songs like "Folsom Prison Blues","I Walk the Line", and "Man in Black", James Bond is a metrosexual poof. :D

Old dad was right !!
