Johnny Cash’s Home Sold to Barry Gibb

It is amazing how weird the world can be. The mere fact that Johnny Cash’s estate is selling his home to another singer makes perfect sense. The fact that the singer is Barry Gibb, leader of the Bee Gees, makes it down right weird.
You have to think that Johnny Cash was a man’s man when it came to singing. Seriously, he had it and made a guy feel good about himself. Now that same home is being owned by Barry Gibb. The Bee Gees. The band that makes any non metrosexual cringe. Even those living in the disco era deny any knowledge of the band. And now Barry Gibb will be sleeping where Johnny Gibb did.
That is just wrong.
The Tennessee house where Johnny Cash lived for 35 years has sold to singer-songwriter Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
Mr. Gibb and his wife, Linda, paid $2.3 million for the property, according to Robert Sullivan, an attorney who sold the site on behalf of the estate. The 4.6-acre property — in the town of Hendersonville, about 15 miles north of Nashville — includes a pool as well as the seven-bedroom, lakefront home with five full bathrooms. The property first went on the market in June 2005 with an asking price of $2.9 million, later cut to $2.5 million. Tommy Cash, the singer’s surviving brother and a real-estate agent with Crye-Leike Realtors in Hendersonville, had the listing and says the sale included several antique furnishings, such as the couple’s bed.
In 1968, Mr. Cash, who was moving back to Nashville from Los Angeles, came across the home while it was under construction and asked the builder if he could buy it, according to Tommy Cash. The builder outfitted it according to the singer’s wishes. Johnny Cash wrote many of his songs at the house, the only property he and his wife, June Carter Cash, ever shared. The property served as the Cashes’ main home up until the death of Mrs. Cash from heart-surgery complications in 2003. Her husband died from complications from diabetes resulting in respiratory failure four months later. (The makers of the 2005 Cash biopic “Walk the Line” substituted another house, which played an important part in the movie.)

I didn't realize all of the various haunted houses in the Columbus area. It really is the dead zone. 
There are a large number of great looking and expensive properties where Montecito Real Estate is concerned but Cleese’s home ...
This happening is a clear illustration of how hard times have struck everyone. It's one way of making the most ...

Spoken like a real ingnoramous! The fact that Barry Gibb bought the house of a “man” is a propos as many “female” fans can tell you..Barry was no slouch in the bedroom..I doubt Mister Cash could have had te energy to follow him…on any day…as his life can attest since meeting Lovely Linda & the hordes of fans…who still follow him everywhere he goes..not little old ladies but young 16 year old girls. who can spot “sex on his forehead” he still has tons of charm. Linda and 5 kids later not to mention grandkids are proof positive he is a “man” a real one! As for the rest of the Gibb, well ask any of their fans.. Barry has more sex appeal than any man in the business! He has nothing to prove to you, in the future please do a bit of research before you open your big mouth on a subject!

[…] Johnny Cash’s Nashville home that had been sold to Barry Gibb burned to the ground today. The home was being treated with a wood preservative that was very flammable and contributed to the home burning in mere minutes. […]

Who is the indolent simpleton that wrote the article about Barry Gibb? Johhny Cash was a fine singer and songwiter, but Barry Gibb is the most prolific songwiter of the modern era. Barry is working on a country album there will probably be a stampede to record most of the tracks. Whilst we are on the subject let us not forget the album he wrote and produced for Kenny Rogers. The crictics are just jealous men of straw, who snipe at genius, mongrel underlings nothing more.
