I believe he would have allowed it.

There actually is a song by Johnny Cash that the title of is my first and last name. It's about a vagabond who is always getting into trouble. Blew my mind when I heard it 4 years ago. I'm a big classics rock and roll fan, not a fan of country but Johnny was in a class of his own. He was really, really a great music artist!!!

txntv2016,
I do too, my Uncle was in jail the same time as Mr. Cash. for moon shining. Was told that he was a strong and kind man. He enjoyed working on his music and helping others. This is what I was told so anyone that has any rude comments please keep them to yourself. Just thought I would share some family trivia.

June Carter wrote the song with Kilgore as co-author. She wrote it about the agony of loving Johnny Cash but not wanting to involve herself, her daughters, or her famous family with a drug addict. June’s sister recorded it first. When it never became successful Johnny re-recorded it adding the Mexican band to it that was not in Anita‘s original version. The song was truly an amazing testimony to the great love
those two had for each other that lasted many years until they both passed away.

As a child my family lived in New Mexico in Santa Fe
They were working on some movies starring Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash. My sister was in a number of movies as an extra. She met Mr Cash as well as other movie stars. She said he was one of the most friendly and courteous stars she'd ever met

Hell No! Johnny would not sell out!

It's an insult to the legendary Johnny Cash and also there are plenty of examples, in the past, where good decent songs are put into ads and when persons hear these wonderful songs with the ad, they're reminded of ill trade off in remembering...that song not for the first reasons why it was produced in the first place...but for an irrelevant ad

I was on an elevator with Mr. Cash and his wife June once. He was not well, but June's look of unadulterated love for him left a big impression on me. I believe this was in 2001 or 2002.

There's a fire crew that travels around the schools of London that plays "Ring of Fire" as they travel the streets.

Player #Brat22585134, The movie was called The Gunfighter. I have it. It was a great movie and I have no idea why more people don't know about it. Cash was a good actor. he showed that also when he was on a Columbo as a killer.
Lisa
Donovan, I want to know too!
Marteen
Bjach, That is SO cool! And you are right, Johnny Cash did not fit into any one genre. A true original!
