Every now and then, an artist pops up and "steals" the show. Jamiroquai did that at the 1997 VMA's...they had a fantastic video for "Virtual Insanity" that put everything else at the time to shame.
Even though Cash is indeed The Man, beloved by young and old alike, he's the underdog in this setting. MTV is dominated by hip-hop and R&B right now, and here comes this old man doing a folk-country version of a song by one of the most successful "rock" bands of the 90s. It's brilliant...and I hope he wins all 6 awards. And just by being nominated and in the public spotlight, I hope more people will go back and see what an incredible career and music catalog this man has given us.
