Interesting.
I certainly was not aware of this regarding Johnny Cash.
But of course hollyweird wouldn’t show any of it anyway.

“Believers and nonbelievers alike know such struggles. That’s what attracted so many people to Cash’s music: his humility and his empathy.”
Cash said this: “I’m not a Christian artist. I’m an artist who is Christian.”

It was like seeing the remake of Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh a few years ago.It was a brilliant and subtle conversion story and they took all that out.So the movie made no sense and I almost stood up in the theater and yelled what the real story was.So frustrating.

Hey, I read something interesting from a State friend about Johnny Cash. He was arrested in Starkville back in the 60’s for picking flowers from a lady's garden. He spent the night in jail. I was there at that time but I sure do not remember that.

Back in the 50s and 60s doctors handed out amphetamines and barbiturates like candy. If you complained about low energy they gave you Dexedrine or Benzedrine, if you couldn't sleep they gave you Seconal. A lot of people figured it was OK if their doctor gave it to them and ended up addicted. How does that mean someone is or isn't sincere in their faith?

His last album I think it was American IV Has a song "When the man comes around" he wrote. He's reading from The Revelation in the beginning and end of the song. Some seemed to know Cash more than others and wrote about him. Kris Kristofferson wrote at least two songs inspired by Cash one was To Beat The Devil and the other The Pilgrim Chapter,33 written in part about Cash.
Cash struggled with his own demons and was honest about it. As far back as the 1970's he did a movie called The Gospel Road about the life of Christ narrated by Cash and June was also in it. I'm assuming he likely wrote most of the songs in it.

Very few people know Hank Willams Sr had an Open Spine and was in constant pain. Hank penned some great Gospel songs in his short life.

Interesting. I certainly was not aware of this regarding Johnny Cash. But of course hollyweird wouldnt show any of it anyway. Even Robert Duvall could not get funding for his movie "the Apostle." And despite "The Gospel Road" Cash did being a 20th Century Fox studio film, evil hates the light and so such is not well known.

I think the Carter family helped Cash become a better man. Certainly not perfect.

the true story of cash is that of faith and redemption. Cash doing a concert at a prison was not a publicity stunt but an honest attempt at ministering to those who were lost.
