Nashville treated Johnny Cash like trash for 30 years. If he’d meant so much to the Left when he was alive, they would’ve been championing him.
It is “safe” to like Johnny Cash now.
Just like when Bruuuuce Springsteen and others got on stage to sing some Clash songs at the Grammys AFTER Joe Strummer had died and the Clash had been disbanded for 20 years. The industry only like to make money off your corpse.
safe to like Cash like it’s safe to like Ol Hank.
