What I care about is that, to the end, he searched for the truth and sought to do what was right. I think that he was successful in much of his search and efforts. I respect the man and hope that I do as much to be respected when I am gone.
Something to consider when we think about the class of Johnny Cash versus other entertainers' venom spewed daily:
When asked what he thought about President George W. Bush, early in the President's first term, Johnny Cash replied, "I didn't vote for the man. Let's leave it at that."
He expressed his reservations, but he did not attack the man or attempt to undermine his work. If only those that walk in his shadow were just as classy.
I meant to type, Johnny Cash made a few comments that would lead me to believe that he believed in quite a few FDR New Deal philosophies. Like many in his generation.
