Primarily a musician, Cash's biography appears on the canoe.ca web site along with his discography. Do you feel Cash's active musical background provided him an insight in "Rebels with Sponsors" to which others would not be privy? Cash plays "20 Questions" with Exclaim!, ranging from his current (2000) project to his views on tax cuts – not the type of information one usually finds in a biography.
Reviews of Cash's solo music and his collaboration with his brother can be found across the Internet, including such web sites as MusicEmissions, Creative Loafing Atlanta, and SXSW Citysearch. The University of Regina's Student Union homepage includes an article about the reaction of anti-smoking activists to sponsorship by tobacco companies. Does this student's article reflect Cash's position on the subject?
Cash's article, "Tough love", like "Rebels with Sponsors", touches on music. How is the approach of these articles different in their inclusion of music as a topic? In what ways does his style differ in these two essays? How do you think this relates to the subject matter? Cash's article, "Cuba low down" in NOW does not touch on the topic of music or the music industry. Do you feel this alters Cash's writing style? If so, how? If not, why not?
