"The Man Came Around

Steve Beard on Johnny Cash on National Review Online - An interesting article on the legacy of Johnny Cash.

"then the sherriff he come too, and he said, 'Sam, how're you?' And I said, 'Well sherriff, how are you? Damn your eyes.' My name is Samuel Samuel."

Okay, I think that song is just too funny!

Anyone have any insights on the allusions on the song, "The Man Comes Around"? I get the ladder, and the virgins, and I know the thornbush thing is from a dream he had while in England, and some of it is from Revelations. But I'm not too clear on a lot of the images. Each of you pick one and expand on it here please. This is for a participation grade. ;) leka friends. i'm done!
