I don't know how I missed out on this bit of music trivia all these years but today I found out that the classic Johnny Cash tune "A Boy Named Sue" was actually written by American poet, singer-songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter, and children's book author Shel Silverstein.

At the same time I heard about Shel's controversial follow up to "A Boy Named Sue" called "Father Of A Boy Named Sue". I wouldn't even know where to start on this one so just listen for yourself below and leave a comment letting us know what you think.
