God, this picture just makes me sad. I know that at least no one was injured in the blaze, but looking at a picture of a burned-down house–Johnny Cash’s especially–just makes me feel like I’m looking at a depressing country song waiting to happen.

The Tennessee home of late country icon Johnny Cash burned down on Tuesday as renovations were under way for its new owner, Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, a local newspaper reported.

Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived together in the three-story, wooden lakeside house in Hendersonville, Tennessee, about 20 miles north of Nashville, from 1968 until they died within months of each other in 2003.

Perhaps the house was simply rebelling against the affront of going from country to disco. And, I know what you’re thinking: “Where’s the ‘Ring of Fire’ joke?” and quite honestly, I have more taste than to resort to that. But just barely.
