Country Song of the Week: 'Man in Black'

Johnny Cash's ex post facto explanation of his wardrobe choices came via his 1971 protest song, "Man in Black."

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

Election Day is tomorrow!
