Factcheck! This isn’t Cash’s first #1. According to Billboard, his San Quentin live album topped the charts in ‘69.

Well Rolling Stone….WAKE UP…not only do you report more stupid rap stories than rock, but you just wrote that Rise Against’s “The Sufferer & The Witness” is their 3rd album, but it is actually their 4th…
Do your research and stop worrying about what Chingy is doing at the club…

It looks like you’ll need to cut and paste the link above for the Cash V tribute song and for my story, above to get the links to work. Sorry.
