Cash and burn

Johnny Cash's old house in Hendersonville, Tennessee - where he filmed the video for Hurt - has had a touch of the Windsor Castles. Now in the ownership of Barry Gibb, the place was razed during construction work:

According to the Associated Press news agency, one firefighter was hurt tackling the blaze.

The agency said the fire spread quickly because construction workers had recently applied a flammable wood preservative to the exterior of the house during renovations.

Obviously not that bloody good at preserving wood, then.
