KS. My parents bought me the San Quientin alblum when I was a boy. Loved him ever since. That was the first time he ever did A Boy Named Sue!
He's a great story teller. One of the best.
He can sing a song a million times and on the million and oneth time put the same passion into it the first time he ever sang it. Few performers out there have ever sang country and rock. Few if not any country performers have ever played in hard rock bands or been on MTV.

There will never be another like him.
He truly was for the working man.
A humble man.

I wonder how [the three Johnny Cash fans] are doing right now.

If I figure correctly, their listening sessions would've been around 1970 when Johnny was at the peak of his renewed career with Folsom Prison Blues and his TV show. As A&E pointed out, after his TV show went off the air in 1971, his new career sank as quickly as it had risen three years earlier. So it would be interesting to know if the three ladies continued their interest in him over the years, particularly with his more recent critically acclaimed CD releases. And what do you suppose happened with their "straight-laced" approach to living during the 1970s and beyond?

I enjoyed Johnny Cash's TV show back in the days when TV seemed to be more fun than it is now, even with the extra hundred or so channels. And I enjoyed seeing him with the Highwaymen group (with Waylon, Willie & Kris) at the Astrodome back around 1990. Great show.

Hope you're having a good weekend.
