Also a bit of a jackass at times. Almost burned down a wildlife sanctuary because he broke down and decided to go fishing. Good music, though, and did serve his time.
Served his time? He never had a prison sentence. He had 7 misdemeanors and spent 1 night in jail for each.....He's not an outlaw and he didn't write Ring of Fire. He's a fraud and I love that Dewey Cox made fun of his daddy issues.

The video to his version of Hurt is among the saddest and most beautiful music videos ever produced

This is a great photograph

Just finished the new documentary about June Carpenter Cash. Highly recommend.

Thought her maiden name was Carter? Or is Carpenter her middle name?
QueefMalone
He was 6'2''. I don't know what that matters, but I always thought he was a shorter dude for some reason.

Huh. So did I.

He's dressed like he's going to a funeral.

“Maybe he is”

And the fact that he covered NIN's Hurt.
Tarmaccian
NIN covered Cash’s Hurt… they just didn’t know it at the time.

And when he heard Johnny Cash sing it Trent Reznor said "That's not my song anymore"

Cash's YouTube of Hurt is very powerful.

Only a great actor could play Johnny Cash, then later play Napoleon

I think I could do it. It would be terrible. But I'd do it!

Only an outstanding actor could play Joker THAT way and not lose his head.

Too soon.

I didn't know John C Reilly played Napoleon!??

I really enjoy his work as Napoleon. His Johnny Cash was great too.

I don't care what kind of music you like, Johnny Cash was a bad ass.

Some of the best people are broken and do stupid shit. I don't know if Johnny was that kind of person but everyone is complicated.
gnomedeplume
shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die I can forgive but endangering a wildlife sanctuary? you're pushing it, mister.
