According to BBC News, the family of the late Johnny Cash have vetoed use of the song Ring of Fire in an advert for haemorrhoid-relief products. Cash’s daughter Rosanne said:

The song is about the transformative power of love and that’s what it has always meant to me and that’s what it will always mean to the Cash children.

Predicatably I thought the song was about a dodgy vindaloo. And it’s not even Friday.

Super Furry Kraft: Hot on the heels of Colly’s review of Super Furry Animals in Nottingham, I once more had the pleasure of seeing SFA at London’s Brixton Academy. It certainly wasn’t the mellow gig that Colly saw; this was SFA rocking away in big style.
