CSI is slipping away, third watch gets hurt

the cover of by johnny cash came out on the opening sequence of the nbc drama tonight, during which officer sullivan weighed the recent events in his life leading to his alcoholism and attempted suicide. it was the perfect song for this great episode, which signaled both an end to sulli's depression and addiction, and the beginning of his healing.

Writing from the future, Josh tells us:

"Tonight 04/02/2003 on CSI: Miami, the song Slipping Away, off of the “Things Falling Apart” album was played during the “discovering evidence” scene. About a min of the song was played, with the lyrics left in, “I Keep slipping away”"
