Was this written for the magazine, or the Web edition? Web-based journalism makes the time crunch even worse. The deadline is no longer at 11 p.m., or on Tuesday morning, in the case of a magazine. It's as fast as you can get it out.

I can understand sloppy writing for print more easily than for the Web. If the piece has to be to the printer by a certain time, or not make it into print, then that's a deadline. Items can be posted to the Web at any time, so why not take another 15 minutes to read it over and realize it's not well done? And don't they have editors?
Maybe the writer was just not at his best when writing this. Maybe he doesn't even like Johnny Cash's music, and his insincerity resulted in clumsy writing :-).
