With the highly anticipated release of Where The Wild Things Are just around the corner, We Love You So has been set up as a way of sharing the varied influences of the film. While it’s fun to read though each post, I especially enjoyed the posting that included this clip of Shel Silverstein performing on the Johnny Cash Show.
Shel Silverstein with Johnny Cash is such a contradiction but then again a sung verse hits a universal chord in all of us. The message is always the end result, no matter where it originates from. Be it children’s literature or country music. A Boy Named Sue would be a wonderful idea for a children’s book. The cross contamination of ideas is really a healthy one when ideas flow freely and merge over to other genres. Here is a perfect example of this. This year there was a book called:
A Boy Named Shel: The Life and Times of Shel Silverstein. Ideas just flow freely like a tapestry of entwined string of thoughts.

“Babycrow” illustrated a very nice comic version of a Boy Named Sue – see it here: http://www.babycrow.co.uk/index.php?/comics/a-boy-named-sue/
