The Greatest Love Story of the 20th Century

I finally saw "Walk the Line" last night. Joaquin Phoenix is amazing as Cash, catching all the facial tics and vocal depth. And Reese Witherspoon is equally great; she captures the professional cheeriness and inner depth the Carter family is known for. It's got the HJ stamp of approval!

It reminded me of Sarah Vowell's story for 'This American Life.' She calls June and Johnny's relationship the "Love Story of the 20th Century." Go take a listen and decide for youself. (Link is on the side of the page, and Vowell's part begins around 47 minutes in)
