Very good, but care to explain to a pinhead like me the Johnny Cash ones?

He once started a forest fire that nearly wiped out a significant chunk of California's condor population, and was later nearly disemboweled by an ostrich. Which makes him the antagonist of condors, forests and ostriches.

I may have another set of Point/Counterpoint before I know it, thanks to all of you!

Reno, the "Valentina"/"Mustang Sally" and "Andy Warhol"/"Valerie" match-ups are inspired! (I admit, I had to do a little research to understand the latter pairing.)
