It was Sam Phillips of Sun Records who told Johnny to do some sinning and start living a life that was worth a damn to write about.
I think he made the comment on that documentary that was made about Sam Phillips and Sun Records a few years back.
The stanzas I am thinking about are:
” I wear the black in mournin’ for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.”
“And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen’ that the Lord was on their side,”
My point is that who knows how Johnny would have voted, and to let the man rest in peace. Thankfully for him these are no longer his problems. He is with June in a much better place.
If there was ever anyone that knew about sinning, it was Sam Phillips and his bunch!
