He had a rather traumatic childhood I think. His brother died and he seemed to be the favoured son and was going to be a preacher so I think John felt somewhat obligated to promote God since his brother was not around to do it.
@@AnnaLVajdaNot only did he lose his beloved older brother Jack (whom JR loved very much and looked up to), but he visited his brother, who was basically sawed in half, in the hospital when he died. And in doing so, saw his mother in her worst moment. God bless
Brian Diaz Apparently it was taken down due to a claim by "Experience Hendrix, L.L.C." so I guess the family didn't like it or PBS didn't have a license or something.
@@EQOAnostalgia That’s not what I meant at all. I mean I can’t think of anyone who can BE another Johnny Cash. Sure, addiction and depression is common and it will probably be common for a long time. I still think his personality and his way on reflecting back and talking about his problems are his own words. I feel I can relate to him and his music more than anything else I am aware of.
Him wearing black for all those who were wronged and didn't know anything but the wrong way in life is the most christian thing on this planet. He felt their pain spiritually while acknowledging his own vices and made a point to share it. That's one of the many reasons why I loved Johnny Cash since I was a kid. He was the first Christian artist to not make his religion everything like Chris Timlin and still relate to people, way before Under Oath and As Cities Burn did it.
christian really? Ask his 1st wife and daughters that he left, a real man doesn't do that. Per their daughter, June the other divorcee was addicted to drugs because, wait for it, Johnny's philandering ways.
Johnny Cash was a true man of God - humble, somber, and devoted to helping the poor and downtrodden. He offers a valuable lesson for today's so-called "Christians."
roomie4rent It's obvious to anyone reading your post _on this public forum._ Since your reading/writing skills aren't very good, i'll tell you. You didn't actually compliment johnny cash, you just judged Cash to be a better Christian than most. That isn't a compliment. It's a judgement. eg. _Wow. you are much better looking than your ugly mother._ If someone said this to you, you'd know this isn't a compliment...
No one man can help you feel better about the pain than he can. He is truly a treasure to this country and to this world. The man was here for pure unadulterated love and music. And good lord did he succeed, regardless of the pain.
Love all the Blank on Blanks that I've seen/heard. JC's insight expressed at 3:57 is profound wisdom for those with chronic problems (this from one in that business).
#pbs I must give you props for this series #blankonblank . You have artfully accomplished a delicate procedure; creating visuals that compliment the narrative but do not compete. Excellent. #1guy2be #johnnycash #gospelmusic
Being from Rison Arkansas (the town right down the road of Johnny Cash's birthplace of Kingsland) I hear a lot of stories from when he would visit family in the 70s. Risons mayor was his bodyguard a time and he has stories about Johnny. It feels weird when I think about walking the streets he did and going on the football field where he sang. He was born in Kingsland and raised in Dyess, but he was close to Rison too. And Arkansas will always proudly display his footprints.
basically the first blues/emo(not really emo not tryna set yall of) rock artist. dam he really impacted a huge genre that he doesnt even know about like kurt to lil peep. If you look deep and research into it u can see WAYYYY clearly abou the resemblance.
My dad used to play Johnny Cash and his music really always stuck with me even though I'm not Religious. His music spoke to my exprances as a working class kid whos family didn't ever have enough. I think in a lot of ways he's part of the reason I wear black all the time. Because it just feels right.
Everybody talks about Hurt because of how emotional of a cover it was but when the man comes around is the real hard hitter for me,also I wish they kept up doing this series
I used to wear black at work for almost 40 years, back when I worked as a printer - that was the color I dealt with the most, along with all the dirt. BTW, this was a cool video, I'm gonna check out more.
boygirl studios I just sat here for about 2 minutes trying to say something but all I can do is sit, be proud, smile, and keep stumbling over my own thoughts. You genuinely left me speechless with your love for freedom. People can learn a lot from that one comment you just wrote.
I love how Cash is man enough to admit that he’s in nearly constant pain as well as the fact that he’s not brave. Dude was a real man’s man.

"I just hope and pray I die with my boots on." - Johnny Cash on The Gospel
Where can we see the Hendrix one ?
Brian Diaz Apparently it was taken down due to a claim by "Experience Hendrix, L.L.C." so I guess the family didn't like it or PBS didn't have a license or something.
We hope to have it back up soon. Stay tuned...
I really hope so because it was a great video. Keep up the good work man
what's the song at 3:37?? It's not listed...
Really the only country singer I will listen to in my free time. The man was Metal af
Nah man. He was a punk.
An example, Cash played at Folsom prison, later, the Cramps played at Napa state mental hospital
If you dont know murder by death youre cheating yourself
Nate Landherr me and him are related
Johnny Cash is Rockabilly.
One of the coolest guys to ever stand in front of a microphone, no doubt.
What about adolf Hitler
A musician who thinks he's a legend is probably not. Johnny Cash is a legend
Idk, Freddie Mercury was pretty Flamboyant about his Rock Star status and he’s considered a Legend by many.
@@jjolq5977 Well, that's why he said "probably".
@@jjolq5977 He was a legend because he worked to make himself one.
And what about the rest of the Highwaymen?
@@cokehayes2739 Of course they're legends but, Johnny Cash was another level
The "John Wayne of rock and roll". That's cool!
He was country though!
+Stephen Morris Debatable. Many would say that he would do both. Either way he was great.
+7Sinai7 I think he's the only/first person to be inducted into both halls of fame
Johnny Cash is, in many ways, a true hero. Wayne just played one.
MrMortsnarg Elvis is in country, gospel, and rock ‘n roll
Just can't help but love the humble nature of this truly legendary artist. RIP Mr. Cash.
Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down!
Well do we have a special surprise for you!
Jeff Carroll -what do you mean,son?❣
Jeff Carroll -ps-you might be the one in for a surprise I reckon❣
Goddamnit, what a man he was. Truly need more people like him in this day in age. His mindset and act and overall look on life was one of a kind.
Yeah because none of us are sinners who have struggled with addiction and depression before... his mindset is not unique, his sound was definitely.

Johnny Cash. You we're sure something and an inspiration to me. R.I.P. Johnny.
Prove it, learn about Jesus.
Johnny was a great man and musician, and he brought honesty to everything he did
None are great, all have fallen short of the glory of God and Cash would concur.
"I'm not brave after what I've been through, I just know how to handle it." how eloquently humble of him
Im not religious in the classical sense but Cash seemed to embody all the good parts of Christianity
@@kraigmartin901 ?
I agree!
Amen
I've never been religious and I think he represents the very same things
Well, Christianity hasn't any bad parts.
"I'm not being brave at all after what I've been through, I just know how to handle it." Man, there's a life lesson there.

Jesus can't you say something nice without being a judgmental shithead?

Are you talking to Jesus or me?
roomie4rent you

Very cool use of graphic medium to portray interview...
Frances Swaine so true
What he said about being ordained or called by God to preach or to sing, this is a very wise statement. Nobody can just decide to be a real preacher
what a real humble and wise man
Every bit of it came from God.
The entire reason I got into guitar was because I used to listen to Folsom Prison Blues, and Walk The Line when I was younger. This man is my hero.
I like Johnny Cash and I always will
They broke the mold when he made this man RIP Johnny
The Man in Black!
Johnny was the outlaw. He came, he performed, and then he was gone. To this day, we still know the legend.
I dig these. I would love to see one with Nick Cave.
+Sweet3532
YES!!!!
PBS digital is one of the most important things on the Internet today.
Favorite Musician of all time God Bless Johnny Cash
What a great guy. I always loved Johnny cash
"Gospel song is a ministry."
How, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for Johnny and Elvis singing gospel in the dressing room before a show!
I really love Johnny's answer to the question on how he sees himself!
He had such a manly voice. Ass soon as you hear him you know it's Cash.
RIP johnny cash love your music you are an inspiration
No one man can help you feel better about the pain than he can. He is truly a treasure to this country and to this world. The man was here for pure unadulterated love and music. And good lord did he succeed, regardless of the pain.
WE NEED A WILLIE NELSON ONE
He was always on top. From 1955 until his death. He was at the top. If anything, his stardom grew even higher by the time he left us.
Real superstar.
Johnny cash thought he wasn’t brave. He thought he wasn’t. A legend. Eh could probably run for president and say he wouldn’t deserve it
Just the coolest artist. I could listen to him talk all day! Miss you so much!
4:14 This right here! You can really hear Johnny come alive at this question!
Love all the Blank on Blanks that I've seen/heard. JC's insight expressed at 3:57 is profound wisdom for those with chronic problems (this from one in that business).
In a world of stardom, where everything is about image and posturing, there is much to be said for the man who is humble. 😌
Great memories - Johnny will live forever through his music.
4:12,
That shot! Aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really did this series.....I'm addicted now....thanks so much!
This man... This man speaks straight the heart.
#pbs I must give you props for this series #blankonblank . You have artfully accomplished a delicate procedure; creating visuals that compliment the narrative but do not compete. Excellent. #1guy2be #johnnycash #gospelmusic
Thank you for the kind words. We try to thread that needle. Stay tuned for more!
what he said about Pain.... just make the last song he performed "Hurt" that much more potent !
He had a massive impact on music, one of the biggest yet he stays humble he's just J.R Cash
Johny cash was my hero
Thank you for sharing this, the world doesn't know enough about Johnny Cash. amen.
I love his singing voice his talking voice EVERYTHING!!! lol
His Gospel album is so good

Great interview, and very well animated, just like the rest on this channel.
"I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on." Chills.
Again and again. This channel never dissapoints
Some made me cry😭
It’s cool because Johnny cash grew up so close to my grandpas childhood home
Johnny cash é maravilhoso ❤
Boss: Man, your lunch break was really long!
Me: 0:34
Brilliant series, perfectly curated and animated.
I'd love to see one on Miss Lily Tomlin.
Reporter: what do you think happens to us when.. Johnny: When we die? Well...we all wanna get into heaven.
God bless Johnny Cash!

Excellent again. Time for the Elvis interview.
I fully agree with the singing gospel statement. Not really religious but went to an sda summer camp. Boy , yea.... it can lift you up.
My dad used to play Johnny Cash and his music really always stuck with me even though I'm not Religious. His music spoke to my exprances as a working class kid whos family didn't ever have enough.

The Ballad of Ira Hayes is a beautiful piece.
Elvis Presley Presley please
"He's not in my mirror"
i love this stuff, keep it up!
"It's MY pain"
amazing interview
you guys should do Merle Haggard
Agreed!
Johnny Cash is my biggest Idol for all the right reasons.
one of the bigger inspirations in my life. truely.
The Greatest Musician of All Time.
I LOVE CASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I only just now stumbled upon your channel, and its pure 🎆🎇🎶💥!! I subbed right after I saw the Beastie Boys! This is great! Keep it up man!

Everybody talks about Hurt because of how emotional of a cover it was but when the man comes around is the real hard hitter for me,also I wish they kept up doing this series
Cash was the Hendrix of country.
I love his music
Can’t wait to jam in heaven with father Johnny cash.
Big Man Big Voice Big Icon Big Music
🌸🧡
Love these videos...ever think of doing one on Sinatra? Dave Matthews would be cool too :)
I used to wear black at work for almost 40 years, back when I worked as a printer - that was the color I dealt with the most, along with all the dirt. BTW, this was a cool video, I'm gonna check out more.
Incredible
what a wonderful soul
These videos are awesome....
anybody know the name of the song that comes on briefly at 5:15? really liked it
I love Johnny Cash
Trade him, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain for all the Kardashions
Juicy Strong
I don't believe in that. Live and let live. Simple.

Kurt Cobain wasn't a good poet
I think that's very selfish
you should do bob Dylan :)
Carolina Rodriguez He did Bob and it's brilliant.
Johnny Cash he said that 6 months ago
+Mad Dog he said that four months ago.
I love cash not many people can say that around these days
I had a dream where I talked to Johnny cash.. it was amazing
Excellent video
you were amazing
What a beautiful dude
THE POWER OF MUSIC!
