Re: A Boy Named Sue. As a young girl named Sue in the 60s, I was NOT fond of that song! Every time I was introduced by someone by my parents, the first thing out of their mouth was "My name is Sue! How do you do!"
I can relate! Although I mostly went by Susan or Susie, there are always people who try to shorten your name. To this day I have a fit if somebody tries to call me Sue. That song had a lot to do with my negative feelings about it. Other than that, I loved Johnny's music. The world has lost another great talent.
