Johnny Cash “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” Video

Johnny Cash has been one of my favorite musicians for many years now and his death was a very sad one. Johnny had one hell of a life, worked with a great many talented musicians, had a loving family, devoted wife and legendary career. Johnny Cash and his music will be remembered for many years to come, which is more than can be said about 99% of today’s music.

Johnny Cash’s last album “American V: A Hundred Highways” featured one of his best songs to date, and just recently the music video has found its way online. “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” is the quintessential Johnny Cash song and brings to the forefront his obvious love for the church, his religion, and, most importantly, his undieing love for gospel music.

The video features a number of celebrities, musicians, actors and other stars that all have at least one thing in common, their love for Johnny and his music.

America’s Got Talent Winner Bianca Ryan Releases Album

Anyone that has been reading dingoRUE for a while likely knows just how I felt about Bianca Ryan winning America’s Got Talent, though my thoughts on the 12-year-old vocalist were widely unshared. Ryan has since been picked up by Columbia/SYCO Records and is now releasing her debut album today – November 14th.

In an effort to pump up album sales and to get her name back into the media again, Ryan will be making a number of TV appearances.

Find out when and where you can see Bianca Ryan after the jump.

Remembrance Day Long Weekend

For those of us in Canada, this weekend is Remembrance day long weekend, which is basically the Canadian equivalent of Veterans Day in the U.S. Since it’s a long weekend, my wife and I are taking the opportunity to head to Vancouver Island, more specifically Port Alberni, to visit with some family and, it just so happens, said family has no computer. So, there will be no more updates until Monday night, maybe Tuesday morning.

I really need to get myself a laptop for just such occasions.

Since I won’t be updating, and I know you’ll be wanting your Reality TV and Celeb dirt fix, I highly recommend checking out the following:

Have a great long weekend everyone! And take a moment to remember all the soldiers that have given their lives in the line of duty. I personally don’t agree with the war, or any war, for that matter, but I do recognize that soldiers are giving their lives everyday for what they think is right. Pay some respects for past and present fallen soldiers. Canada alone has lost over 40 soldiers to the “peace keeping” mission in Afghanistan. Don’t forget them.

Survivor Cook Islands: The Non-Recap

Unfortunately I will be slacking off again tonight and won’t be watching Survivor Cook Islands. The Circle Craft Fair opens in Vancouver tonight and tonight is the only night my wife and I will be able to go, so we’ll be getting crafty while Survivor is on.

If you’ve never heard of the Circle Craft Fair, and you live in Vancouver, I highly recommend checking it out. Even if you don’t like crafts, it is a fantastic event. Artists, Crafters and Foodies of all forms pack into the Convention Centre, to the tune of about 250+ booths, to sell their hand-crafted awesomeness for only four days every year.

It’s a little pricier then you average craft fair, but it has so much more to offer, and it’s still not that bad, especially since they have some pretty sweet coupons.

Get your Circle Craft Fair Coupons here.

For all you Survivor addicts out there, you can get your fix from any number of sites, though I have a few favorites that are worth a look.

Global TV Reporter Shot With Taser Gun

Thanks to the guys over at Gawker.com for digging up this wonderful piece of footage.

For whatever reason, Edmonton Global TV News Reporter Olivia Cheng decided demoing the effects of being shot with a taser gun would make for a great segment. Unfortunately, she was right, but only because she steps up and takes the hit herself.

Cheng volunteered to take a hit from the taser gun, though elected only to take a 1/2 sec burst, as opposed to the usual 5 sec burst, and considering she can’t weigh more than 120lbs, the 1/2 sec shot was plenty.

I don’t know what it is, but there is just something gratifying about watching a reporter get nailed with a taser gun, even if it is only for a 1/2 sec.

Watch Oliva Cheng get shot with a taser gun after the jump.

Biggest Loser Recap and Info: Two New Contestants

The Biggest Loser: Season 3 – Episode 8 Recap

November 8th, 2006 – As a result of some confusion, I ended up watching America’s Next Top Model and missing half of tonight’s episode of the Biggest Loser. I swear I do not remember them mentioning that tonight’s episode would be a 2-hour episode. So, since I missed the first half of the show, I can only recap the last half – but everyone knows that’s when all the important stuff happens anyways. So read on, and find out what happened in episode 8 of the Biggest Loser.

Amazing Race 10 Winners: Team Kentucky

Though Team Kentucky, consisting of Dave and Mary Conley, aren’t your typical Amazing Race winners, especially since they didn’t actually win the competition, they’ve won big for just being on the show.

Rosie O’Donnell and the girls at The View were such big fans of the Kentucky team and how they played the game, that they showered them with a multitude of equally awesome prizes. For being such a respectful, friendly and just generally awesome team, The View awarded Dave and Mary Conley with:

  • $1,000 Carhartt gift certificate (for Dave to get some mining clothes)
  • MacBook computer
  • Canon Digital Rebel digital camera
  • 3 separate, 1 week vacations to San Diego, Disneyland and the Grand Canyon for their kids
  • Cruise (for them, The Cho Brothers AND Team Alabama)
  • Eddie Bauer edition Ford Explorer
  • and, last but not least, a brand new 3-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, 1,800 square foot house on their land back home in Kentucky (on the condition that they give their trailer home to a family in need)

How awesome of a prize list is that? They may not have scored the Amazing Race top prize of $1-million that is awarded to the winning team, but they sure cleaned up.

Watch the video from the View after the jump.
