Legend Would’ve Had a FINAL #1 HIT but Mainstream Radio SCREWED HIM OVER! | Professor of Rock

- Struggling to stay faithful to his wife while on the road, the Man in Black, Johnny Cash wrote her a mournful love ballad backstage at one of his concerts to clarify his feelings he called it Because You’re Mine but it later turned into I Walk The Line. However, when he got the song to the studio, his producer increased its tempo, turning it completely on its head. And Cash hated it. Well, that is until he saw how audiences reacted to it. His fans went crazy for it. And with his deep baritone voice rumbling like a train down the tracks, it’s no surprise this song shot to #1. Today we’re not only giving the story behind this legendary hit but also interviewing another Icon who teamed up with this Johnny Cash to record an entirely new version of this track and we get a historic account of that recording that was a guaranteed #1 Mainstream Radio screwed him over. This untold story will blow your mind. It’s all coming up… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

So it’s time for another edition of our series The New Standards. This show takes an in-depth look into songs that transcend genre, decade, and fads - songs that are monumental touchstones in our culture and society. On previous episodes we have covered Something by The Beatles, Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley, and The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.
Today is an absolute no-brainer… As we walk in the footsteps of The Man in Black… the great one… the incomparable Johnny Cash… and give you the story behind one of his most beloved songs ‘I Walk the Line. Stick around for an exclusive interview that will blow your mind on a story not well-known about this legend… So after being honorably discharged from the Air Force in 1954, Johnny Cash married his sweetheart Vivian Liberto. The two settled in Memphis, Tennessee where Johnny enrolled at the Keegan School of Broadcasting… aiming for a career in radio. While going to school, Cash also got a job selling appliances door-to-door. But it wasn’t a good match. Johnny was no slick salesman… and he didn’t have the heart to pressure clients into buying his wares.
Johnny would soon discover his calling thanks to his brother Roy. Roy worked at an Automotive Sales Garage and two of the mechanics there were novice musicians. Their names were Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant. Roy made some introductions and the three hit it off, deciding to put together a band… all of them playing acoustic guitar. But Cash soon realized that if they wanted to get anywhere, they had to diversify. So Luther took up the electric guitar and Marshall upright bass. And Cash stuck with rhythm guitar since he did most of the singing. After a few humble public performances, Cash set his mind on recording a record with Sam Phillips of Sun Records. - บันเทิง

Poll: What is your pick for the greatest early rock songs from the 50s or 60s?
Buddy Holly - Everyday
“Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley & His Comets
Runaway by Dell Shannon
I'll nominate "Houng Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel" by Elvis Presley.
Everyday, Buddy Holly
Johnny Be Good, Chuck Berry
Jail House Rock, Elvis Presley
I Want To Hold Your Hand, The Beatles
I’m just want to say that Cash capped off his career spectacularly with his “American Recordings” with Rick Rubin. His version of
“Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails prompted Trent Reznor to say, “It’s just not my song anymore. It’s Johnny Cash’s now.”
Have you seen our piece on Hurt?
@@ProfessorofRock I always think that Depeche Mode are lucky that Johnny covered "Personal Jesus" rather than "Walking in my shoes". He'd have stolen that song from them as effectively as he did Hurt from Nin.
I think just about everyone loves Cash's Hurt. It is just so beautiful. Especially with the music video.
Well I don’t agree. That cover album was one of the worst albums in history for me. But, to each his own.
@@ProfessorofRock Absolutely loved that episode. So powerful.
All these years later Country radio is still letting us down. Props to Rodney Crowell. RIP to the Man in Black.
You call that "country"?
I never appreciated Johnny Cash until I got older. He really did have some truly amazing songs. And nobody sounds like him then or now and probably never will. He was a true pioneer of music. ♥️
I agree with you. Like a lot of music, I appreciate it more now than I did when I was a kid.
I like when Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" from NIN.
Cash was a one of a kind - broke the mold after he was born. Always was cool to the country folks and the rockers.
Johnny Cash and OneBadPig
Man in Black
One never knows what he/she has until it's gone from their life.
I saw Cash at an outdoor fundraiser for the Nashville Symphony back about 1994. In a crowd of about 500, you felt like he was singing straight to you. His stage presence was like no one else I’ve ever seen. His legend is truly earned and well deserved.
Johnny Cash is the glue that brought my dad, myself and my son all together. He was a master storyteller, and could do so much with just 3 chords and the truth.
The worst kept secret about radio is how awful, petty and contemptuous the gatekeepers are about who and who doesn't get played, regardless of the quality of the song. Radio now dying a slow death with the internet, streaming and people's personal digital librares is now their payback for showing contempt to artists AND fans alike. Radio had it's heyday but they have brought about their own downfall with their hubris.
I miss all the great things about radio, but I have to agree -- it had it coming.
Beautifully said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾….imagine if we had the internet of all musical genre’s during the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s & 80’s…..OMG
There are some negatives to our streaming culture. The new songs, not only have to compete with other new songs, but also all the songs from history. There have been classic radio stations and programming that includes older music, but now you create your own list that includes favorites and the new stuff gets left out.
And it's gotten worse over the decades --- pretty much killed creative rock n roll.
@tiffanysandmeier4753 good point, competing with new & artists of the past...never thought of it that way...
I'm a metalhead and I absolutely LOVE Johnny Cash!
Johnny Cash represented the heart and soul of America. He sang the country's praises and called out its faults with great sincerity and compassion. He is sorely missed. I wasnt aware of the shadow ban, thank you for the story.
Cash was always a favorite in our household. Phoenix was wonderful in the film. But I remember at the end of the movie we actually hear Johnny Cash's vocal and I said to myself "yes...the difference betweena singer singing and an actor singing."
It’s unfortunate that an executives grudge against an artist would lead to the suppression of a song that might have otherwise been a hit. I didn’t even know this version of walk the line existed, and I was listening to country radio at the time the song would’ve been released. It makes me wonder how many other great songs we’ve missed out on hearing because somebody decided not to give them the exposure.
Johnny Cash is my favorite!!
I am a baby boomer and was very fortunate that my parents took me to see Johnny at an unadvertised concert at Madison Square Garden in the early 70s.
Of course Johnny was a legend in country music. But thank you for including him for his contribution to Rock and Roll!!
John sang "I walk the line" at every one of his concerts...
Not the greatest singer or guitar player, but the man had a style and presence like none other. With memorable songs Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues and A Boy Named Sue, to name a few, he was instantly recognizable! Shame on that radio consultant, indeed. Thanks, Adam!
Thanks Robster. Always a pleasure my friend!
Johnny always sounded a bit raspy and slightly out of tune (part of what made him great) until he sang base in a gospel tune. He was a a low range baritone and did a base line very well, always on key and no raspy sound. ;-)
One of the greatest musicians ever.
One of the truly legendary artists of all time, and is woefully forgotten by today's music artists.
Have you never heard or watched Johnny in the 50s and early 60s? Not raspy at all. And he could pick a guitar great. You must be thinking of the older Johnny Cash. I grew up on him in the 60s.
Thank you for covering Johnny Cash!!! I’m 62 and grew up with parents and grandparents listening and dancing to him. I’m a huge lover of rock music 🎶 and thank goodness I had parents that also listened to my music with me ❤❤❤ my 87 year old mother can name off all kinds of rock bands, and I can name of all kinds of her era of music 🩷
Johnny Cash's life is a testament to overcoming pain and adversity...Over and Over Again...In his faith and in his Music it shows...A great man with a humble spirit...The One and Only....Johnny Cash.
What an incredible story and interview. Such a shame that a single individual could have such animosity that he'd spitefully hurt artists by refusing to air what he knew would be a hit record. Thank you so much for another great episode, Adam. You are truly one of a kind. Have an excellent day!
No kidding. It's upsetting. thanks Jill!
I wanted to comment, but I can't say it better than you did. 👍🏻
What a monster.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980, indeed. I hope karma got him.
@@jillwklausen Instant karma’s gonna get you 🎶
I'm thankful that I saw him live in San Francisco. He played a song, then came "Hello. I'm Johnny Cash." Gave me chills.
Nothing can get to Johnny Cash as far as him cementing himself as a great. Truly one of a kind, someone who made the most of music and its storytelling
What's your favorite Cash song?
@@ProfessorofRock Maybe Walk the Line. His catalog is so immense and rich.
There will never be another like the Man in Black.
It has to be "Sunday morning comin' down."
Cash is King and always has been for me since I was a kid. Now my son loves him too and that says it all!
I remember the 'finger' ad, and humorously, I remember the local country stations kissing the Man in Black's backside after his death, playing 'Hurt'. A day late and a dollar short, Country music. He's a Rock hero now- you had your chance and blew it!
I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, I've always been more of a Rock and pop fan but certain country greats have been favorites too! Great story Professor! Thanks for sharing it with us and thanks for keeping the music alive!👍
I grew up listening to Johnny Cash due to my dad listening to him. My parents were big, old time country music fans. While I became a hard rock and New Wave/ Punk fan, old time country, Cash, Williams, Flatt and Scuggs to name a few, shaped me and my love of good music.
Cash and Williams are unbeatable.
That ad is gold! And earnt! Johnny Cash deserved more respect!
I grew up with country music musicians in my parents. My mother was a singer who could rival the likes of Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells & all the others. I loved Johnny Cash's music! My father who was tone deaf could tune his guitar, & sing (Yeah I know!) had a near Cash's strum. We would drive to Idaho Falls, Pocatello or Blackfoot & have our mother sing country songs the entire way & even our friends would enjoy the impromptu concerts. His version of "Hurt" still gets me in the feels...
Fascinating story! I've been a Cash fan since I was a kid watching his musical variety TV show with my folks. But MUCH of this was news to me. Thanks Professor!
Very cool! What's your favorite Johnny song?
I enjoyed this story.
I loved the Johnny Cash show back in the day, even though I didn’t care for country music. He was an entertainer that transcended the country genre.
I'm 41 years old and I would get made fun of for the fact that I liked country music as well as other types of music I could go from listening to Johnny Cash and George Jones all the way to Metallica Pantera Marilyn Manson & Korn. One of the greatest concerts that I ever got to see was the Man in Black himself. It just proves that music is music & it will all remain timeless to someone. I didn't discover I Walk the Line revisited until about 12 years ago & when I first heard the song it was one of those moments that stuck with me because it had taken something that was already iconic & did the impossible of elevating it further. Great episode & awesome story!
Fabulous Interview, Adam... wow. My dad took me to see Johnny Cash in '72 in Holmdel N.J.
I grew up with his music. Thank you for this story.
Rodney looks Great!!!
Love what you do. More country legends please. This was great.
Really enjoy your channel and content. I have learned some amazing things from what you do. So happy to see this episode on the Man In Black. Would love see more content on country artists and the influence they had on Rock and Roll. I think there may be many Rock artists and bands these people have had an impact on. True musicians recognize true musicians no matter the genre. Thanks again, love your channel.
Listening to him singing "Hurt" and then the original writer and singer stating how blown away he was hearing Johnny Cash singing his song was amazing.
Thanks as always, Professor. You truly unearthed a gem of a story on this one. Good work.
Great video about one of the greatest artist's that ever lived. I was blessed enough to see him live when I was about 12 in a theatre in the round. If I remember right June came out and did the last two songs with him. It was quite a memorable experience
WOW!!! What an incredible interview!!!
Great job, Adam.
My mom used to play Johnny and his contemporaries all the time when I was a kid in the 70s. I always loved him and I'm grateful to have seen him and June in 97. Great video! Thanks!
Brilliant story! I'm a huge Jkhnny fan, and I've learned something new today! Will definitely be checking out Walk The Line Revisited 😁👍
Great video! Great song! And great Rodney song and story!
I have been playing guitar for 55 years. I toured in a club band for several years. We never hit the big time, but we paid the bills and had lots of fun. The very first song I ever played on my guitar was "I Walk the Line" Thanks for sharing this story
Thank You for Sharing this. JC is the Pinnacle of Music of His Era and is the Bar. Loved it Brother.
What a story -- THANKS Professor
Wow, seriously awesome story. Great job as always, keep it up!!!
one of your best videos .. and that's saying a lot!!
Great history lesson. Thanks again Prof.
I loved JC ! I have a picture of him giving the finger and the thank you note , hanging from my music cabinet! Love it !
As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate far more about the music and genres that preceded me. Johnny Cash holds a large spot in that space of appreciation. He definitely blazed a trail that few have repeated or ever will. Walk The Line and Ring Of Fire are two of the greatest songs of all time . . . and THIS is coming from a person who never listened to country music and grew up with rock-n-roll in my veins!
One of the best and true vocal stylist that ever breathed in a breath of air. RIP John Cash.
Yes yes yes! The man in Black! The great Johnny Cash! I've been waiting for this one bro!! It's about time!!💯❤👍👍😎
What an excellent episode. Thank you for this.
Great Video, Adam. Thank you so much.
What a story! Thanks for sharing these insights. Cheers.
Great show..Love most all Cash songs
Great story! He was a such an amazing artist his entire life and remained true to himself and his fans no matter the content, collaboration, or genre. He is the OG
POR
Great story, in 1970 I turned 14, parents gave me the Best of Johnny Cash album. Exams a fan early, parents listened to him, I grew up with him. Still listening, he was an Icon. Saw him twice in concert and one more time with the Highwaymen.
If you live in the Midwest, go see Terry Lee Goffee, does a tribute to Mr Cash, he is the consummate Johnny Cash tribute artist! Thanks again professor, another great segment.
I’m going to go listen to the “Wreck of the Ol’ 97”
Incredible story. Thanks for sharing.
My mom had a bunch of Johnny Cash LP’s when I was a kid in the late 60’s and early 70’s, I grew up hearing JC every weekend when my grandma and all of my aunts and uncles would get together and drink and play 42 dominos, they would play his records and all of the other classic country music on our old Curtis Mathis console TV and high-fi stereo record and 8 track player that dominated our living room, it probably weighed about 600lbs and could be heard a couple of blocks away when it was cranked up!!! I fell asleep many, many times listening to Johnny’s music and Loretta Lynn, Porter Wagner, Bill Anderson, Gene Watson, Willy and Waylon, Merl Haggard, Conway Twitty and too many others to list here while my family played dominoes until dawn, I’ll never forget that time and when I hear these songs today it brings back all those great moments of my childhood, Walk the Line is one of my favorite movies of all time, right behind Coal Miners Daughter!!! 😆😆😆
Thanks, Adam! This story really torques me off! If there ever was an artist that transcends music genres, it’s Johnny Cash! Rock and roll, country, gospel, punk, all music owes a debt to Cash! I remember watching that whole story play out. A local Americana/Red Dirt Radio station played the h*ll out of Cash, Crowell, and “Revisited”. Never heard it anywhere else.
Been a Cash fan for years. Love his voice and music
Nicely done!!! Love Johnny
I have always loved Rodney's music! He is still putting out new music and this was a great song that deserved to be on radio. Country music turned into country pop and it is dying fast! When Taylor Swift came along is when it was over and guys like Alan Jackson, George Strait and Rodney Crowell who had 5 #1's on one album could not get a song played on country radio!
..yeah, it's so bad now, even Shania Twain would be considered hardcore old school country....
Frack Taylor Swift and the 🐐she rode into town on.
I am hard pressed to listen to modern country period because of this. It has gone to far into pop and forgotten its roots.
click-pop and hip-hop/rap...I never could stand rap, and now every genre is infested with it...same with the clicky-clicky "pop" stuff..I don't even consider that stuff pop...pop to me was 70's-80's mainstream radio stuff, some of it wasn't too bad...@@Denozo88
I love your podcast as I learn more about the music and the people behind it. ❤❤❤❤
Great story (and great channel!). Just listened to the song (for the first time … and second … and third ) and … umm … yeah …. Thanks for helping me start my day on a high.
I'm always learning something new on your channel. You are phenomenal!👍😉
Happy to hear that! Any requests?
Thanks Professor 👍🏼
Just watching this now a day late, but I couldn’t wait. Until the ‘90s, I knew Johnny Cash only by name, that distinctive voice, and maybe some TV appearances I’d seen in the ‘70s. Yet I never thought of him as being country; the best, most memorable artists defy genres. Along w/Ray the year before, I loved the movie Walk the Line. Both films gave me an even greater appreciation for their music and understanding of their lives, such that I still think of them now and again. Anyway, “I Walk the Line”, “Ring of Fire”, and his version of “Hurt” are resonant, thanks to RR for bringing The Man in Black back to the forefront. And thanks to you, Prof, for another amazing interview. As w/most of your subjects, Rodney seemed to enjoy sharing this story w/you - and us. Namedrop Bonnie Raitt all he wants, I love her, too!
*Wow, “payback, brother”? Fact: No one remembers that pissant country radio guy on his little power trip, but everyone who loves American music knows “I Walk the Line”.
Somehow, I had never heard this song before. After watching The Professor's video, I searched for it and listened beginning to end. Now it will be on my playlists for a long time to come. What a cool song and story. Thanks, Professor!
Man, you gotta watch the movie!! Its one of the best movies that represent the true story of Johnny and June!! If you like love stories, of two people who loved each other so much that they went throughHell, and stayed together till they died. If it was made up fiction, i would have never watched it. But knowing them, (AS a fan, of course, ), i was totally engrossed! Great performances by Reese witherspoon, and Joachim Phoenix. Ive always been a sucker for true love, REAL,true love!
Great story POR! I couldn’t figure out why I had never heard about Rodney Crowell’s Walk the Line Revisited. I knew about the Rick Rubin ad, but not the Rodney Crowell part. Thank you for that info!
I loved Johnny Cash, had all of his records at one and I even saw his brother Tommy in concert and bought his album which he and his whole band signed after the show, since then it has been MIA. Anyway both Cash brothers were wonderful people and I still enjoy their music at 70 years young. Thank goodness for you tube.
One of my favorite singers
It's amazing to me how JC transcends country music. People who don't even like Country like Cash. I wonder why.
It's the shows like this , that have me LOOKING forward to next1 THANK YOU proveser peeps and you expecialy you Adam ya-all have a nice day eh' : ))
Fabulous story and interview. It is now 2023 and I had never heard I Walk The Line Revisited until watching this video.
Like most kids growing up in the early 1970s, my first exposure to music was listening to my parents records. My dad had Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Roy Acuff. My mom had Elvis and the Beatles. I still listen to Johnny Cash and the Beatles on a regular basis 50 years later. Thanks for the memories and this great segment.
Mr Crowell, a class act. Amazing story/video. Thank you for what you do sir ❤
In many ways,, when experiencing one of your Master Classes, I get so much more than expected- and this is a good example. The history of the songs featured, the pettiness of the industry to which Mr, Cash contributed so much... Honored profesor: Thank you again so very much. My curiosity is peeked now my MR Crowel''s days as (wht was it?) a pipe manufacturer or something... What were his days an dnights like in the piney woods when his mind and soul were captivated for those momths is took him find then build his dream...- Your grateful student - Gordon
The first time I heard Rodney Crowell sing 'I Walk The Line", I was riding around with my girlfriend promoting a small music festival in Dallas. I went and bought the CD right away at Tower Records in uptown Dallas, the whole album is great! Best episode yet!!
That was excellent!! Nice job.
Thank you kindly!
I always felt as if Johnny Cash was an anti-establishment artist. He did want he wanted to do and didn't give a damn what other people thought. We kind of through around word legend around but Johnny Cash is definitely a legend whose legacy will live on forever.
Amazing story !! Good to hear from Rodney , another musical genius who has never gotten his due . Thanks POR
So true!
I love your show and watch everyday. Look forward to it actually. I never comment though but I actually want to ask you Professor if you could or would one day do a video on Dr. Hook. They truly were an amazing band and highly underrated. It certainly would mean the world to at least this ol' boy from Tennessee. Either way thank you for your AMAZING videos and thank you for keeping this music alive in a time where music is less than sub-par.
Great story/interview. Thank you. The first version of "I walk the line" has been released on several boxed sets (Sun). Cash has been one of the guiding musical spirits in my life since I can remember. I remember his TV show - remember seeing Linda Ronstadt on stage with no shoes! Rodney is a great songwriter/singer and I appreciate his insights.
Thanks for sharing!
He had a fun show.
When i was 14, 1989 1990, my mom came home from work with two tickets and asked me if I wanted to go to a concert that night, I asked who it was and she said "Johnny Cash." At the time, I hadn't gotten into country music at all, but of course, I knew who he was. BUT, I'm 14 years old, and far too cool to go to a concert with, of all people, my mother, let alone some old codger from the 50s. So I politely turned down her offer to see the Man In Black. I'm a month away from my 48th birthday day now, and to this day I still kick myself in the butt for not just sucking it and going to a concert with my Mom. She ended up calling her sister and they enjoyed the show very much. Of course I'm a huge fan now and have been for decades.
Another thing, my mom didn't. Even like country either, but she knew a legend when she heard one.
Here's the greatness of Johnny Cash, people from all walks of life love him, metal heads, rap fans, old, young. Without trying, Johnny Cash made you love him.
What I love about your channel, is that I am constantly learning new things about subjects I had no idea there was more to be learned! This was a remarkable segment, thank you for sharing it with us!❤
I'm so glad! Thanks William... Any requests?
@@ProfessorofRock I haven't seen you cover The Who, or The Carpenters. Then there are The Pretenders. These are a few groups I haven't seen you cover, but I may have missed those segments.
I saw him play in November 1991, and it's the gig I'm most happy I saw.
Johnny Cash is one of my favorite legendary artists probably my favorite songs by him are one piece at a time, I love his version of hurt I walk the line and highwaymen featuring The Highwaymen one of the best super groups ever created.
Still have Johnny on my pandora playlist. Those were the songs you could drink a few to with your best buddies.
How generous of him to participate in an alteration of his great homage of his love for June. How unfortunate to hear of the behind the scenes and literally a story and song I've never heard before. Evoked a range of emotions, but Thank You. Might be your best.
My first time hearing him was with my older sister who loves classic rock and country musicians like Dolly Parton, Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn. She was in her room listening to Johnny Cash and I knocked on her door to find out what she was listening to. Since then I've been a big fan of his music.
I’ve always loved Jonny Cash’s music! What a class act when Rodney there at the end said shame on you instead of stopping to the hatefulness of that programmer!! I thought for sure he was gonna fly the bird at him!! Lol!!! Of course doing so is a class act also because it lets everyone know one will never take what someone is negatively dishing out by simply lying down and allowing it to happen!!!
Great interview!!!
❤❤ I meet him and June in an elevator at a hospital. Gal was with me wanted autographs. I told her to leave them alone, he sick! June mouthed thank you to me! It's important to me to have respect as human 1st, then the fame last! Hope all a blessed and beautiful day!
What? So cool.
Amazing! Such a nice lady.
The man in black is the king! He was rock n roll in his day!
Cash has such a unique place in music history that few are able to share. The Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Cash, Prince, Willie and even Ozzy to an extent. And that place is that those artists are able to cross genre lines and have success and acceptance. To a lesser extent, Lady Gaga has done it but it's such a rare thing in these times.
Well said. Few can do what he did and take rock songs and make them in a way all their own and both versions are loved.
My favorite!!!
Love your Music News. 😊👍🎉🇺🇸
Johnny Cash was one of my two favourite country artists(the other one being Marty Robbins) while growing up in Jamaica. I enjoyed his music for decades but was never fortunate to see him live in concert. (I did see his daughter Rosanne many times in various concert settings.) I still enjoy his work and still listen to his last albums.
(I believe he occasionally lived in Jamaica.) R.I.P. Johnny Cash and R.I.P. Marty Robbins, two country guys that broke the country mold.
I've listened to country music growing up then got into pop in high school but landed on hard rock and metal (and some contemporary Christian) after high school and it stuck but I always loved johnny cash no matter what. He was the Man in Black!
thank you for doing this one. just shared this with my dad because Johnny Cash was, is and always will be a huge influence on his music. dad is in his late 70s and still rocking all thanks to the man in black.
Awesome story Professor!!🤘🔥
Thank you kindly!
I didn't know about the print ad. Johnny Cash was one of my dad's favorites. My sister got us tickets to see him at - I thimk it was - the Greek Theater but the show was canceled. He passed away so we never saw him lives. 😢
Great episode! Such a shame that the song didn't get the backing it deserved. I don't know if there has ever been a true Country Great that wasn't on the outs with the Country Music machine at some point. Cash is eternal. His art has been respected for decades and will be for centuries. Anyone who has pushed down on him has only made that reputation stronger.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
JOHNNY CASH!!!
Can never get enough of the Man In Black!
I Walk the Line.
Folsom Prison Blues.
Thank Goodness Rick Rubin helped resurrect his career in the 90s.
And wonderful interview with Rodney Crowl! Great find Professor!
Thanks for another great one today, Professor! And I slayed the Matrix today. Have a great Wednesday.
Thanks for watching my friend! How do you get done so quick?

I take my vitamins and say my prayers! 😂
