I DARE You Not To Be Moved By This
It was Johnny's last video, he recorded it just before he left us. Originally an Nine Inch Nails tune, that he made his own. Trent Reznor is notorious about not letting people cover his work (wouldn't even let Weird Al do a parody) but he was smart enough to know when the man in black comes knocking, you better answer the door.
The video was nominated for Best Video of the Year at the VMA's and by all accounts from the powers that be at MTV, no one could understand why it didn't win- even with all that, it wasn't even in the rotation. But, genius is genius.
Just like most of the gifts Johnny left us, the beauty is in the simplicity.
