“Johnny Cash Makes 'Em Hurt [1]”

I came close to tears myself watching the video [2]; it's that powerful. And
he just doesn't cover NIN “Hurt,” he owns it.

I then played the original version done by Trent Reznor [3] and both Spring
[4] and I agree: Johnny Cash owns this song; Trent just doesn't come close.
