A remarkable man. I once saw him and June grocery shopping together at Kroger’s in Hendersonville. I froze, he noticed me and just smiled. That smile will live with me forever.
I met Rufus Thomas once in a Krogers when I about 16 and I knew who he was because my grandparents liked his music and I do and he saw me looking and said everything gonna be alright.I will forget that.Just for those who don't know who Rufus Thomas was he he was a singer song writer from Memphis who recorded at Stax,he had songs like the Funky Chicken and Just Walkin The Dog.
When we lived in Hendersonville, we never once saw Johnny Cash or June Carter! We drove by their house about 3 times, and Roy Orbison's, next door, when we were going to or coming back from picnicking at Cages Bend. I saw Roy Orbison and his family out shopping, probably 3 times; we used to see Dolly Parton all the time at Star Fabric Center and Maxwell Drugs (probably buying her hot pink lipstick for the Porter Waggoner Show, we figured). I remember waking up the morning after Roy Orbison's beautiful, cedar house burned, and his sons were killed. My best Hendersonville High School friend, Debbie, was killed in a terrible auto crash, with Helen Carter's son, another boy, and her closest friend from toddlerhood, Cyndi, who was by all reports, a wonderful young woman. Cyndi's grandparents went to my grandparents' church. My cousin attended school at Two Rivers with her. Also, I have reason to believe that Johnny Cash was kind to a friend who was in terrible trouble, and genuinely liked him. The thing is, more important than people's stardom, is the fact that they are human: fellow human beings, created in the image of God. I think that this reality, and a basic, godly humility, are secrets to Johnny Cash's lasting appeal. He impresses us as real, aware of, and respecting the most important things of life.
I can't believe he literally died 20 days after this interview... Yeah, he was heartbroken because of June. Lived a tough life in general... I hope he is reunited now with June.
I met him in Brisbane airport in 94, he was touring and was on the same plane as my parents and I asked him for an autograph for my Mums boarding pass, he said no problem Sir and signed it with love and I thanked him and he said no , thank you Sir. To this day I tell everyone Johnny cash called me Sir. A true claim to fame. A great and humble man.
A family member of mine is a nurse and had an older gentleman come in when COVID hit. They knew he was going to pass soon and asked him what kind of music he liked and he said Johnny Cash. They said they sat with him for 4 hours with their phone on his shoulder listening to his music up until he passed. Incredible how Johnny Cash has changed so many of us. His work will live on forever.
@@budfoucher2704 who asked you? It's funny how people like you complain about others talking about religion but won't hesitate to talk about what you don't believe in, if you don't believe why should you care if others do?
An excerpt from Aristotle’s Parts of Animals: Now that with which the ancient writers, who first philosophized about Nature, busied themselves, was the material principle and the material cause. They inquired what this is, and what its character; how the universe is generated out of it, and by what motor influence, whether, for instance, by antagonism or friendship, whether by intelligence or spontaneous action, the substratum of matter being assumed to have certain inseparable properties; fire, for instance, to have a hot nature, earth a cold one; the former to be light, the latter heavy. For even the genesis of the universe is thus explained by them. After a like fashion do they deal also with the development of plants and of animals. They say, for instance, that the water contained in the body causes by its currents the formation of the stomach and the other receptacles of food or of excretion; and that the breath by its passage breaks open the outlets of the nostrils; air and water being the materials of which bodies are made; for all represent nature as composed of such or similar substances. But if men and animals and their several parts are natural phenomena, then the natural philosopher must take into consideration not merely the ultimate substances of which they are made, but also flesh, bone, blood, and all other homogeneous parts; not only these, but also the heterogeneous parts, such as face, hand, foot; and must examine how each of these comes to be what it is, and in virtue of what force. For to say what are the ultimate substances out of which an animal is formed, to state, for instance, that it is made of fire or earth, is no more sufficient than would be a similar account in the case of a couch or the like. For we should not be content with saying that the couch was made of bronze or wood or whatever it might be, but should try to describe its design or mode of composition in preference to the material; or, if we did deal with the material, it would at any rate be with the concretion of material and form. For a couch is such and such a form embodied in this or that matter, or such and such a matter with this or that form; so that its shape and structure must be included in our description. For the formal nature is of greater importance than the material nature. Does, then, configuration and colour constitute the essence of the various animals and of their several parts? For if so, what Democritus says will be strictly correct. For such appears to have been his notion. At any rate he says that it is evident to everyone what form it is that makes the man, seeing that he is recognizable by his shape and colour. 22 And yet a dead body has exactly the same configuration as a living one; but for all that is not a man. So also no hand of bronze or wood or constituted in any but the appropriate way can possibly be a hand in more than name. For like a physician in a painting, or like a flute in a sculpture, in spite of its name it will be unable to do the office which that name implies. Precisely in the same way no part of a dead body, such I mean as its eye or its hand, is really an eye or a hand. To say, then, that shape and colour constitute the animal is an inadequate statement, and is much the same as if a woodcarver were to insist that the hand he had cut out was really a hand. Yet the physiologists, when they give an account of the development and causes of the animal form, speak very much like such a craftsman. What, however, I would ask, are the forces by which the hand or the body was fashioned into its shape? The woodcarver will perhaps say, by the axe or the auger; the physiologist, by air and by earth. Of these two answers the artificer’s is the better, but it is nevertheless insufficient. For it is not enough for him to say that by the stroke of his tool this part was formed into a concavity, that into a flat surface; but he must state the reasons why he struck his blow in such a way as to effect this, and what his final object was; namely, that the piece of wood should develop eventually into this or that shape. It is plain, then, that the teaching of the old physiologists is inadequate, and that the true method is to state what the definitive characters are that distinguish the animal as a whole; to explain what it is both in substance and in form, and to deal after the same fashion with its several organs; in fact, to proceed in exactly the same way as we should do, were we giving a complete description of a couch. If now this something that constitutes the form of the living being be the soul, or part of the soul, or something that without the soul cannot exist; as would seem to be the case, seeing at any rate that when the soul departs, what is left is no longer a living animal, and that none of the parts remain what they were before, excepting in mere configuration, like the animals that in the fable are turned into stone; if, I say, this be so, then it will come within the province of the natural philosopher to inform himself concerning the soul, and to treat of it, either in its entirety, or, at any rate, of that part of it which constitutes the essential character of an animal; and it will be his duty to say what this soul or this part of a soul is; and to discuss the attributes that attach to this essential character, especially as nature is spoken of in two senses, and the nature of a thing is either its matter or its essence; nature as essence including both the motor cause and the final cause. Now it is in the latter of these two senses that either the whole soul or some part of it constitutes the nature of an animal; and inasmuch as it is the presence of the soul that enables matter to constitute the animal nature, much more than it is the presence of matter which so enables the soul, the inquirer into nature is bound on every ground to treat of the soul rather than of the matter. For though the wood of which they are made constitutes the couch and the tripod, it only does so because it is capable of receiving such and such a form. What has been said suggests the question, whether it is the whole soul or only some part of it, the consideration of which comes within the province of natural science. Now if it be of the whole soul that this should treat, then there is no place for any other philosophy beside it. For as it belongs in all cases to one and the same science to deal with correlated subjects-one and the same science, for instance, deals with sensation and with the objects of sense-and as therefore the intelligent soul and the objects of intellect, being correlated, must belong to one and the same science, it follows that natural science will have to include the whole universe in its province. But perhaps it is not the whole soul, nor all its parts collectively, that constitutes the source of motion; but there may be one part, identical with that in plants, which is the source of growth, another, namely the sensory part, which is the source of change of quality, while still another, and this not the intellectual part, is the source of locomotion. I say not the intellectual part; for other animals than man have the power of locomotion, but in none but him is there intellect. Thus then it is plain that it is not of the whole soul that we have to treat. For it is not the whole soul that constitutes the animal nature, but only some part or parts of it. Moreover, it is impossible that any abstraction can form a subject of natural science, seeing that everything that Nature makes is means to an end. For just as human creations are the products of art, so living objects are manifest in the products of an analogous cause or principle, not external but internal, derived like the hot and the cold from the environing universe. And that the heaven, if it had an origin, was evolved and is maintained by such a cause, there is therefore even more reason to believe, than that mortal animals so originated. For order and definiteness are much more plainly manifest in the celestial bodies than in our own frame; while change and chance are characteristic of the perishable things of earth. Yet there are some who, while they allow that every animal exists and was generated by nature, nevertheless hold that the heaven was constructed to be what it is by chance and spontaneity; the heaven, in which not the faintest sign of haphazard or of disorder is discernible! Again, whenever 24 there is plainly some final end, to which a motion tends should nothing stand in the way, we always say that such final end is the aim or purpose of the motion; and from this it is evident that there must be a something or other really existing, corresponding to what we call by the name of Nature. For a given germ does not give rise to any chance living being, nor spring from any chance one; but each germ springs from a definite parent and gives rise to a definite progeny. And thus it is the germ that is the ruling influence and fabricator of the offspring. For these it is by nature, the offspring being at any rate that which in nature will spring from it. At the same time the offspring is anterior to the germ; for germ and perfected progeny are related as the developmental process and the result. Anterior, however, to both germ and product is the organism from which the germ was derived. For every germ implies two organisms, the parent and the progeny. For germ or seed is both the seed of the organism from which it came, of the horse, for instance, from which it was derived, and the seed of the organism that will eventually arise from it, of the mule, for example, which is developed from the seed of the horse. The same seed then is the seed both of the horse and of the mule, though in different ways as here set forth. Moreover, the seed is potentially that which will spring from it, and the relation of potentiality to actuality we know.
@VoidOfThought the reason God made these terms, is so that heaven is a place of peace, love and joy. If heaven accepted anyone just because they occasionally do good stuff then heaven won't be a safe and peaceful haven to relax in. Heaven is a place where no one has to fear, have anxieties or doubt. Only the truly righteous people can go there, which is why none of these listed will exist there :) no one is excluded from getting there :) all of the instructions are right before you, in the Bible.
Me too outlaw brother Bob he,s been on an amazing journey life itself rest on brother Johnny we all love and miss you so very much well peace everyone😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
SO you love the fact he was a wife beater a bar fighter alcholic and womanizer get real.Loving his music is one thing.Its important though to seperate fame from of a person as an individual. In his personal life he had all of the flaws I just named. When you say you love everything about him it is a flaw within itself.
I can still see and hear him walking across the Madison Hospital floor near Nashville Tennessee in 1970. He was dressed in black with cowboy boots. That’s when and where June had her baby son and I worked then as a ward clerk. I’ll always remember that.
I never turned my back on God I never thought that He wasnt there Hes my counselor Hes my wisdom All the good things in my life come from Him Johnny your closing words of wisdom have made me reflect on the good things in my life I want to turn around now before its to late and grab hold of Gods out stretched hand of Salvation You have left me with a cherished legacy of hope in those closing words Thank you so much
JESUS CHRIST SAVES....my father had 4 surgeries since November...ventilator for a total of 6 weeks....no brain activity for over a week....less than 30% chance to get through his last two surgeries....less than 5% to make it when they removed his ventilator 2 weeks ago...the night before we went to say our goodbyes, I went in the garage and my grandpas old Bible was up on this shelf....something was telling me to open it....I randomly opened it , as soon as my eyes looked at it, there was a verse about The Lords righteous right hand renewing hearts and breathing life back into the weary....Dad comes home June 4th....has been doing physical therapy now for a week and every Dr, nurse, etc, said they’ve never seen such a miracle...I just told the Drs, etc, then you don’t know Jesus Christ...and whether you do or don’t believe, HE believes in you and loves you so very much. God bless you all
Secret to a happy marriage?? I can't believe this question was asked of a man who walked out on his wife and children. Man in Black should have been Man in Sack cloth and ashes. May God have mercy on his hyppocrite soul.
@@fjordike Men change, Johnny made mistakes just like the rest of us if you're a true Christian you would forgive him. Man in black isn't an honorary title it's one of shame and guilt...he walked out from his wife not his daughter's. He felt that pain and if he could he would probably take it all back Johnny made mistakes and he tried to redeem himself because of those mistakes.
@@authorrichards7633 , 'men change'. Yes he changed. He make solemn marriage vows before God and his family to his wife, to be her husband/protector/friend/father of their children- until death do they part. You seem to have had access to his head and heart but I doubt that. One's success on the stage cannot atone for his abandoning his children's mother (and by extension - them). There are THOUSANDS out there who may feel that their abandoning their families isn't so bad - look, Johnny did it and 'everybody' loves him! I don't envy him in eternity. Just sayin.
@@authorrichards7633 M'friend, Johnny tried to redeem hisself - a mistake you both may reminisce about together in hell. Only Jesus can redeem any of us. I know this for myself I pray you will learn this before you ever see Johnnee...in...you know where!!! Of course he could have finally got it right and put down his gitarr and hit his knees before the Throne of Grace but since he never shared this I doubt it. Jussayin his life was a horrible example for any man, any true American, to follow. Leaving his kids to Welfare ....what a pity and shame!!
@@fjordike Johnny was a man of faith, throughout his life he never doubted or gave up on his faith. Johnny isn't burning in hell like you claim he's in heaven. He made mistakes and sinned just like the rest of us and he asked jesus for forgiveness and he tried to be a better man.
Yes. Looked much older than his 71 years. Could have passed for 90 years old here. Probably because he must've suffered a pretty severe stroke. (Also Johnny had lived a very hard and as he said here, a crazy CraZy life!!)😉
Try touring on the road year after year, eating fast food and living in hotel rooms. It’s not an easy life my friend. I’ve done it many times as it will kill you
The greatest ever. My son was a Goth. One day, all his Goth friends came to our home. When they saw my Johnny Cash cds, there was a rush to play their favourite song. No other singer could transverse, such a wide genre.
@@lf2052 I have always found my son's friends to be polite , respectable and responsible. My son still is a goth, though slightly toned down being a Dad ! One of their friends was in hospital so they met at our house as we were near the hospital. They were all supportive of their friend and, so polite to my husband and I. Never judge people by first impressions or a misplaced bias. All the best to you and your family.
One of my favorite Johnny quotes is “ well we all ought to go to heaven .” Truly a man that was born in bad times and always stayed humble through it all! R.I.P. Mr. Cash ☹️😢
I always loved Johnny Cash. He lived a Hard life. Only 72yrs old. Yes, he had multiple serious health issues. Stroke, Parkinsons, and being in hospice, well I believe Cancer and COPD All took him in the End. He was such a handsome, strong empathetic man. For sure, I believe he's in Heaven singing feeling young and well and happily in the presence of our Lord Jesus. Listen to his Last Song 🎵 Hurt. He doesn't Hurt anymore in Heaven,!
"...And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..."
Daniel Brooks Dont worry, for a 71 year old he was extremely beat up and honestly in this video he seems more like he’s 91 than 71. You have to keep in mind he is saying this from the point of view of a man who beat himself up for 50 years with drugs, alcohol, and living the rockstar life. Unless you ALSO lived the same life as Johnny Cash I think you will have TONS of time left haha. Even if you did half of what he did, you’ve got time left. He went HARD.
@@rodniki14 I'd be ok if I went to sleep tonight and never woke up. I'm already tired of the bullshit that is living so, I will think the same thing at 71 but I will be happy because it will FINALLY be close to ending!
Erik Halverson, whenever I hear a guy talk like that I feel I’m in the presence of an honest man, or at least a man who isn’t fooled by all the pretty nonsense that people use to kid themselves that life is anything but tragic in its essence. I felt that way already as a teenager and now I’m 68. But, like Johnny, I found the reason to keep going and make sense of it all. I haven’t changed my opinion about life, in fact I think my outlook on the future of mankind is more bleak than ever but at least I know the Truth. And I take comfort in that.
I am not a country music fan. Not saying they are not talented but just not for me. However; Johnny Cash was someone that I could always listen to and still do today. Talented man.

Yeah that’s something you should believe as fact and truth...just don’t be a dick. You’ll get there. If it’s there and you don’t come back as a bug smashed on your grandchild’s windshield one night. Lol
I am from India but grew up on country music , thanks to my late dad. I listened to everything from Hank to Charlie Pride but Johnny Cash stole my heart with his raw renditions and the simplicity of his music inspite of great lyrics. He's long gone UP I'm sure and is surely belting out his hits for Our Maker and the angels and saints...and I still miss someone...❤❤❤❤
I'm also 52 yrs old and I remember the Intire family would sit in front of the TV on Sunday night after church. Dad would put some coal in the fireplace and mom would make popcorn and we would wach heehaw. Johny cash was his 2nd favorite and hank Williams was his favorite singer. 🙏 👪 🇺🇸 🔫 ✌👍☺
Actually his official biography it says that he invented that story, he didn’t understand Russian and he just had to write the codes he heard, it also says he liked to invent stories to make stuff more interesting, also other things too
Lotta miles on John. I am sitting here smoking a Cigar and drinking a beer and just realized he is but 7 years older than I am... No matter your age. We need to get out more and enjoy what time we have left because it is less than we perceive That clock just keeps ticking faster and faster

TMB247 that’s some tons of bricks outta ya now, man. Glad to come across that one, as some of us would rather hide them bricks- or it ain’t us. I gotcha, sir, well and clear. 👍🏻
Johnny Cash made mistakes and learned many lessons during his life. A very wise, intelligent, and talented man that found his calling and we all benefitted.
I just buried my grandmother last week in Mexico, Johnny cash song "on the evening train" is really helping through these tough sad times I'm having. R.I.P Johnny!!!
Greatest ever. I managed to pass his musical heritage and his great personality over to my son. Next year we shall visit America and see his grave. RIP Johnny Cash.
@@danielkerr4100 Ever heard of risk factors? Some are genetic, some are behavioral. Smoking cigarettes increases your risk for a stroke. This does not mean smokers will have a stroke and non-smokers will not. Save the "dumbass" line for a topic you actually know something about.
Your father's in two places your heart and in heaven bless you brother Steve and sorry for your lost 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Steve Thwaites Yep, their music always makes me think of my dad too. He took me to his concert many yrs ago. He would of liked this last song of his “Hurt”. This one really gets under your skin. But they’re all up above us together now..
Still so sharp. He had the same breathing patterns as my mother before she passed from ocpd complications. You can tell timing his breaths during conversation was a challenge. It was a lot like listening to my mom and her final days.
I may be giving you some controversy but everybody goes to heaven though not necessarily right off the bat....there is a time for reflection in the darkness. Being "christian" isnt any kind of requirement. All religions lead to god as well as no religion at all. God is in everything and everywhere in this vast huge universe. The spirit world, heaven, is our home, where we live as spiritual beings and it's much like earth with an exchange of the physical matter with and energy base. We are here on earth in physical form to experience and learn and we return many times.
@Fashfrog 14 Lord Jesus Christ was an important spiritual being. Evidently he really existed and yes he got just a little bit more of god in him than the rest of us but he was still a spiritual being that was on earth. We all have god in us. God is everywhere. We are all from god and one point in time after our time we will again be unified or merged again with that tremendous source of energy.
The last song I listened too with my father before he took his own life was "Ain't No Good Chain Gang." Johnny Cash is simply the best. Weither you're a Punk, MetalHead, or a lover of Country you cant deny his music. R.I.P. Dad R.I.P. Cash
I teared up when he said: "I've never been angry with God. I've never turned my back on to God, so to speak, I never thought that God wasn't there, I knew...he is my counsellor, he is my wisdom, all the good things in my life come from him". Wow. What a nice man. In contrast, I've been angry with God most of my life, I know I'm never alone, I know that, God is always with me, but I'm not as nice as Johnny Cash. He didn't blame God for taking his brother, but I did. I blamed God for taking my mother. I'm teary again. Will have to listen to more of Johnny's interviews. I'm sure he is in heaven now.
Sissi I hear your pain. God took my husband of 42 years at the beginning of this year. Grief spans every emotion. I have blamed myself, the doctors, even my husband for dying, but never God. That does not make me nicer than you, you are in pain, and pain manifests in many ways. All I know for certainty is God loves you and me and is there for you. He is trying to help you, just talk to Him, and He will reply. Pray you have peace.
There can be no blame, I have experienced loss, early in life and all to often. There is no such thing as light , without darkness. God gave us free will to come to him on our own, not programmed.
I love how June respected Johnny enough to give him constructive criticism on what he was doing. They were honest with each other and deeply in love. They were soul mates. God bless Johnny and June. I hope they are together now in heaven 🙏 ❤️
Listening to him talk about June as if she were in the other room. This was a man of absolute belief and her death was of no consequence because he knew he'd see her again quite soon. Talk about strong faith
@katy bourassa John cheated on Yoko. Paul cheated on Linda, FDR cheated on Elanor. Even Reagan cheated on Nancy. Cheating is a terrible thing to do to a partner but many a person has cheated on someone they deeply love. Especially in a marriage where one partner is in the spotlight constantly. Doesn't make it OK but it doesn't make me doubt how much Johnny loved June
My son fell in love with Hurt not long after we lost his mum , I have collected a lot of his later recordings, he was like vintage wine he just got better with age . I hope future generations don’t forget him.
My son was a goth . One day, a group of his friends came to my house. When they saw my collection of Johnny Cash CDs there was a rush to start playing them. I stood looking at these lads dressed in black with body piercing and remarked that no other musician could appeal to such a diverse audience. Cash was unique.
Johnny was a class act and absolute gift to the world. Not just as a singer but as a great person. Full of wisdom and inspiration. His voice even in the last times of his life was and always will be always music to my ears. I have always loved this great man.
He wasn't the best guitar player. He wasn't the best singer. He was just a really good person with a pure heart. And he was an original who had "IT." I still listen to his music and miss him.
My dAd was in his 80's when he discovered Johnny Cash. When we would go to visit him at his home, Johnny's music was always playing nonstop. So when he passed away last August, we had a cassette player playing all Johnny Cash sons in the funeral home parlor. We knew he was looking down and thanking us for giving him the perfect funeral by including Johnny!!
He did a lot of drugs in his early years. And he was just an older looking guy in general when he was young. Seeing Johnny at 22 is pretty crazy, because he looks 36 lol.
You’re right, but just remember that this was 20 days before his death. When people are dying, their bodies collapse rapidly. I don’t know this for sure, but it’s possible that he didn’t look quite so rough at age 70, if that makes sense.
I love this man, his music and his legacy. The world was better with him in it than without. Godspeed Mr. Cash. So true is the cliche you’ll never know just how much you’ll miss someone until their gone.
I used to watch the Johnny Cash show back in the 60's. He was my inspiration to learn guitar, sing, and start writing my own songs. John has always been one of my favorite musicians with a unique sound totally his own. He will always hold a special place in my heart. RIP John; I know I will see you some day in the future.
He didn't have any boundaries when it came to his guests either artists like Joni Mitchell, Credence Clearwater Revival, and Stevie Wonder were on there as well.
A family member of mine saw him sitting alone at the airport one day. He sat next to him and started talking. He said he was the most humble human being he ever met. They sat and talked for a few hours like old friends.
A lot of older people seem to lose touch with the outside world as they get near the end - even if they're still alert and sharp, they seem to be in their own reality. Not Johnny, though.
71 years old and he looks 91 and thats because he lived and loved full speed ahead. No regrets. A full, glorious and amazing life. As Neil Young once said, "its better to burn out than to fade away." Thank You Johnny for everything.
Humble, a lot of the musicians nowadays should take notes, most could only dream of having a career like his, yet they talk about themselves like they're god's gift to music.
This world was lucky to have you. This man is a true legend and American icon. We will never have another Jonny Cash. Thank you for your contributions to music. RIP JC.
Your comment is very beautiful and heartfelt, especially being from a nonbeliever; it means so much more for you to say that. But I must point out one small thing that might change your life--science and math have proven God already. Look up Dr. Jeffrey Long here on TH-cam or elsewhere and Chris Langan's CTMU (Cognitive Theoretical Model of the Universe). Furthermore, you can look into NDEs and hospice nurses experiences for anecdotes as well.
That's the best interview I have ever seen with a musician. Johnny Cash was concise and quick to give great answers to all of the questions he was asked. Genuine class and humility a very rare combination.
Trent Resnor wrote and initially recorded "Hurt", but said that Johnny's rendition was what the song was really meant to be. Listen to the original track from "The Downward Spiral", then listen to Cash sing it. The emotional content he puts into that song is staggering...so much that it actually hurts.
You know when your soul mate goes that your life isn't long to be over too. When they go, half of you goes with them & the other half of your soul is just winding down to stopping. John & June Cash are proof of this. RIP.
It’s so bad now and I don’t like modern country It’s kind of dumping how it did in the early 90s when they brought drum machines in with songs like man I feel like a woman
I feel that way with all modern music. Country, pop, metal... It's hard to find any "soul" on the radio, and every genre's hits tend to sound the same.
We all will sister Sandra all of us together I pray peace to you rest on brother Johnny c we all Love you so much😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
People don’t think about that Clear Lake was going to be a defining moment for music no matter what. Either rock would change forever or country would. Buddy or Waylon.
A remarkable man. I once saw him and June grocery shopping together at Kroger’s in Hendersonville. I froze, he noticed me and just smiled. That smile will live with me forever.
He was in our local Walmart 1 day as well
Thats fucking amazing. I would of probably died
I met Rufus Thomas once in a Krogers when I about 16 and I knew who he was because my grandparents liked his music and I do and he saw me looking and said everything gonna be alright.I will forget that.Just for those who don't know who Rufus Thomas was he he was a singer song writer from Memphis who recorded at Stax,he had songs like the Funky Chicken and Just Walkin The Dog.
When we lived in Hendersonville, we never once saw Johnny Cash or June Carter! We drove by their house about 3 times, and Roy Orbison's, next door, when we were going to or coming back from picnicking at Cages Bend. I saw Roy Orbison and his family out shopping, probably 3 times; we used to see Dolly Parton all the time at Star Fabric Center and Maxwell Drugs (probably buying her hot pink lipstick for the Porter Waggoner Show, we figured). I remember waking up the morning after Roy Orbison's beautiful, cedar house burned, and his sons were killed. My best Hendersonville High School friend, Debbie, was killed in a terrible auto crash, with Helen Carter's son, another boy, and her closest friend from toddlerhood, Cyndi, who was by all reports, a wonderful young woman. Cyndi's grandparents went to my grandparents' church. My cousin attended school at Two Rivers with her.
Also, I have reason to believe that Johnny Cash was kind to a friend who was in terrible trouble, and genuinely liked him.
The thing is, more important than people's stardom, is the fact that they are human: fellow human beings, created in the image of God. I think that this reality, and a basic, godly humility, are secrets to Johnny Cash's lasting appeal. He impresses us as real, aware of, and respecting the most important things of life.
“He looked at me,and I saw him smile.”
Wow. You can see in his eyes, he still has a sharp mind, but he is frustrated by the limitations of his body.

A family member of mine is a nurse and had an older gentleman come in when COVID hit. They knew he was going to pass soon and asked him what kind of music he liked and he said Johnny Cash. They said they sat with him for 4 hours with their phone on his shoulder listening to his music up until he passed. Incredible how Johnny Cash has changed so many of us. His work will live on forever.

An excerpt from Aristotle’s Parts of Animals:
Now that with which the ancient writers, who first philosophized about Nature, busied themselves, was the material principle and the material cause. They inquired what this is, and what its character; how the universe is generated out of it, and by what motor influence, whether, for instance, by antagonism or friendship, whether by intelligence or spontaneous action, the substratum of matter being assumed to have certain inseparable properties; fire, for instance, to have a hot nature, earth a cold one; the former to be light, the latter heavy. For even the genesis of the universe is thus explained by them. After a like fashion do they deal also with the development of plants and of animals. They say, for instance, that the water contained in the body causes by its currents the formation of the stomach and the other receptacles of food or of excretion; and that the breath by its passage breaks open the outlets of the nostrils; air and water being the materials of which bodies are made; for all represent nature as composed of such or similar substances.
But if men and animals and their several parts are natural phenomena, then the natural philosopher must take into consideration not merely the ultimate substances of which they are made, but also flesh, bone, blood, and all other homogeneous parts; not only these, but also the heterogeneous parts, such as face, hand, foot; and must examine how each of these comes to be what it is, and in virtue of what force. For to say what are the ultimate substances out of which an animal is formed, to state, for instance, that it is made of fire or earth, is no more sufficient than would be a similar account in the case of a couch or the like. For we should not be content with saying that the couch was made of bronze or wood or whatever it might be, but should try to describe its design or mode of composition in preference to the material; or, if we did deal with the material, it would at any rate be with the concretion of material and form. For a couch is such and such a form embodied in this or that matter, or such and such a matter with this or that form; so that its shape and structure must be included in our description. For the formal nature is of greater importance than the material nature.
Does, then, configuration and colour constitute the essence of the various animals and of their several parts? For if so, what Democritus says will be strictly correct. For such appears to have been his notion. At any rate he says that it is evident to everyone what form it is that makes the man, seeing that he is recognizable by his shape and colour.
22
And yet a dead body has exactly the same configuration as a living one; but for all that is not a man. So also no hand of bronze or wood or constituted in any but the appropriate way can possibly be a hand in more than name. For like a physician in a painting, or like a flute in a sculpture, in spite of its name it will be unable to do the office which that name implies. Precisely in the same way no part of a dead body, such I mean as its eye or its hand, is really an eye or a hand. To say, then, that shape and colour constitute the animal is an inadequate statement, and is much the same as if a woodcarver were to insist that the hand he had cut out was really a hand. Yet the physiologists, when they give an account of the development and causes of the animal form, speak very much like such a craftsman. What, however, I would ask, are the forces by which the hand or the body was fashioned into its shape? The woodcarver will perhaps say, by the axe or the auger; the physiologist, by air and by earth. Of these two answers the artificer’s is the better, but it is nevertheless insufficient. For it is not enough for him to say that by the stroke of his tool this part was formed into a concavity, that into a flat surface; but he must state the reasons why he struck his blow in such a way as to effect this, and what his final object was; namely, that the piece of wood should develop eventually into this or that shape. It is plain, then, that the teaching of the old physiologists is inadequate, and that the true method is to state what the definitive characters are that distinguish the animal as a whole; to explain what it is both in substance and in form, and to deal after the same fashion with its several organs; in fact, to proceed in exactly the same way as we should do, were we giving a complete description of a couch.
If now this something that constitutes the form of the living being be the soul, or part of the soul, or something that without the soul cannot exist; as would seem to be the case, seeing at any rate that when the soul departs, what is left is no longer a living animal, and that none of the parts remain what they were before, excepting in mere configuration, like the animals that in the fable are turned into stone; if, I say, this be so, then it will come within the province of the natural philosopher to inform himself concerning the soul, and to treat of it, either in its entirety, or, at any rate, of that part of it which constitutes the essential character of an animal; and it will be his duty to say what this soul or this part of a soul is; and to discuss the attributes that attach to this essential character, especially as nature is spoken of in two senses, and the nature of a thing is either its matter or its essence; nature as essence including both the motor cause and the final cause. Now it is in the latter of these two senses that either the whole soul or some part of it constitutes the nature of an animal; and inasmuch as it is the presence of the soul that enables matter to constitute the animal nature, much more than it is the presence of matter which so enables the soul, the inquirer into nature is bound on every ground to treat of the soul rather than of the matter. For though the wood of which they are made constitutes the couch and the tripod, it only does so because it is capable of receiving such and such a form.
What has been said suggests the question, whether it is the whole soul or only some part of it, the consideration of which comes within the province of natural science. Now if it be of the whole soul that this should treat, then there is no place for any other philosophy beside it. For as it belongs in all cases to one and the same science to deal with correlated subjects-one and the same science, for instance, deals with sensation and with the objects of sense-and as therefore the intelligent soul and the objects of intellect, being correlated, must belong to one and the same science, it follows that natural science will have to include the whole universe in its province. But perhaps it is not the whole soul, nor all its parts collectively, that constitutes the source of motion; but there may be one part, identical with that in plants, which is the source of growth, another, namely the sensory part, which is the source of change of quality, while still another, and this not the intellectual part, is the source of locomotion. I say not the intellectual part; for other animals than man have the power of locomotion, but in none but him is there intellect. Thus then it is plain that it is not of the whole soul that we have to treat. For it is not the whole soul that constitutes the animal nature, but only some part or parts of it. Moreover, it is impossible that any abstraction can form a subject of natural science, seeing that everything that Nature makes is means to an end. For just as human creations are the products of art, so living objects are manifest in the products of an analogous cause or principle, not external but internal, derived like the hot and the cold from the environing universe. And that the heaven, if it had an origin, was evolved and is maintained by such a cause, there is therefore even more reason to believe, than that mortal animals so originated. For order and definiteness are much more plainly manifest in the celestial bodies than in our own frame; while change and chance are characteristic of the perishable things of earth. Yet there are some who, while they allow that every animal exists and was generated by nature, nevertheless hold that the heaven was constructed to be what it is by chance and spontaneity; the heaven, in which not the faintest sign of haphazard or of disorder is discernible! Again, whenever
24
there is plainly some final end, to which a motion tends should nothing stand in the way, we always say that such final end is the aim or purpose of the motion; and from this it is evident that there must be a something or other really existing, corresponding to what we call by the name of Nature. For a given germ does not give rise to any chance living being, nor spring from any chance one; but each germ springs from a definite parent and gives rise to a definite progeny. And thus it is the germ that is the ruling influence and fabricator of the offspring. For these it is by nature, the offspring being at any rate that which in nature will spring from it. At the same time the offspring is anterior to the germ; for germ and perfected progeny are related as the developmental process and the result. Anterior, however, to both germ and product is the organism from which the germ was derived. For every germ implies two organisms, the parent and the progeny. For germ or seed is both the seed of the organism from which it came, of the horse, for instance, from which it was derived, and the seed of the organism that will eventually arise from it, of the mule, for example, which is developed from the seed of the horse. The same seed then is the seed both of the horse and of the mule, though in different ways as here set forth. Moreover, the seed is potentially that which will spring from it, and the relation of potentiality to actuality we know.
Bud Foucher I hate people like you
@VoidOfThought the reason God made these terms, is so that heaven is a place of peace, love and joy. If heaven accepted anyone just because they occasionally do good stuff then heaven won't be a safe and peaceful haven to relax in. Heaven is a place where no one has to fear, have anxieties or doubt. Only the truly righteous people can go there, which is why none of these listed will exist there :) no one is excluded from getting there :) all of the instructions are right before you, in the Bible.

Greatest ever. I managed to pass his musical heritage and his great personality over to my son. Next year we shall visit America and see his grave. RIP Johnny Cash.
Did you ever visit? ❤
I was six when johnny died. And his music has gotten me through the hardest times. A legend through and through. I love you J.R. CASH
What did the "R" stand for?

It's not drugs and alcohol he had a stroke. That's why his mouth moves this way. Sharp as ever though
what do u think gave him the stroke dumbass
@@hihello8771 old age dumbass I know many people who had strokes that have never touched any of that it's cos he's old he had one
@@danielkerr4100 Ever heard of risk factors? Some are genetic, some are behavioral. Smoking cigarettes increases your risk for a stroke. This does not mean smokers will have a stroke and non-smokers will not. Save the "dumbass" line for a topic you actually know something about.
Hey why don't you color commentators shut your asses up. Collectively
@@monolithgeometry3221 thiis ^ shut the fuck up
My dad loved your music, he sadly passed last year, but it reminds me of him every time I hear it. God bless you Johnny RIP xx
Your father's in two places your heart and in heaven bless you brother Steve and sorry for your lost 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Your dad will always be with you. God bless.
my dad loved his music to he also passed away 5 months ago i feel you i feel it goodd
Steve Thwaites Yep, their music always makes me think of my dad too. He took me to his concert many yrs ago. He would of liked this last song of his “Hurt”. This one really gets under your skin. But they’re all up above us together now..
Keep you head up
Still so sharp. He had the same breathing patterns as my mother before she passed from ocpd complications. You can tell timing his breaths during conversation was a challenge. It was a lot like listening to my mom and her final days.
Your mom is probably telling Mr. Cash all about you.
@@ericschmuecker348Nah, THEY'RE BOTH 🪱 FOOD
Hello I'm Johnny Cash ...Just such. Signature line 👍. Only One Johnny Cash 👍
Only one anybody.
A signature line. Just like “My name’s Carroll Shelby and performance is my business.”
There will NEVER be another like him 🙌❤️🙏
Humble man ,Johnny and Elvis cut from the same cloth , R.I.P.
Johnny was actually a christian. I am sure he is up in heaven with his wife.
I believe he is. He was not ashamed to mention Jesus, and to me that is amazing. What a good man.
Im an atheist....FUCK JESUS...
Nope! You really don’t know your own Bible do you?
I may be giving you some controversy but everybody goes to heaven though not necessarily right off the bat....there is a time for reflection in the darkness. Being "christian" isnt any kind of requirement. All religions lead to god as well as no religion at all. God is in everything and everywhere in this vast huge universe. The spirit world, heaven, is our home, where we live as spiritual beings and it's much like earth with an exchange of the physical matter with and energy base. We are here on earth in physical form to experience and learn and we return many times.
@Fashfrog 14 Lord Jesus Christ was an important spiritual being. Evidently he really existed and yes he got just a little bit more of god in him than the rest of us but he was still a spiritual being that was on earth. We all have god in us. God is everywhere. We are all from god and one point in time after our time we will again be unified or merged again with that tremendous source of energy.
It seems like at this point, he knew he'd be with her soon.
He was only 71 here, but he look like he was 91. He must’ve had a rough life. :(
I will always respect his honesty and sincerity. He seemed so incredible.
Man, he has a great voice.
The last song I listened too with my father before he took his own life was "Ain't No Good Chain Gang."
Johnny Cash is simply the best. Weither you're a Punk, MetalHead, or a lover of Country you cant deny his music.
R.I.P. Dad
R.I.P. Cash
How sad that your dad took his own life. That is hard. I'm so sorry.
I teared up when he said: "I've never been angry with God. I've never turned my back on to God, so to speak, I never thought that God wasn't there, I knew...he is my counsellor, he is my wisdom, all the good things in my life come from him". Wow. What a nice man. In contrast, I've been angry with God most of my life, I know I'm never alone, I know that, God is always with me, but I'm not as nice as Johnny Cash. He didn't blame God for taking his brother, but I did. I blamed God for taking my mother. I'm teary again. Will have to listen to more of Johnny's interviews. I'm sure he is in heaven now.
Sissi I hear your pain. God took my husband of 42 years at the beginning of this year. Grief spans every emotion. I have blamed myself, the doctors, even my husband for dying, but never God. That does not make me nicer than you, you are in pain, and pain manifests in many ways. All I know for certainty is God loves you and me and is there for you. He is trying to help you, just talk to Him, and He will reply. Pray you have peace.
@@angelb3111 Thank you! Sorry to hear your husband passed to higher realms. I'm sure you will meet again, I have no doubt. Many thanks again, so kind.
There can be no blame, I have experienced loss, early in life and all to often. There is no such thing as light , without darkness. God gave us free will to come to him on our own, not programmed.
Why wouldn't you be angry with the guy who caused all this and with the guy who sent my family to hell?
I love how June respected Johnny enough to give him constructive criticism on what he was doing. They were honest with each other and deeply in love. They were soul mates. God bless Johnny and June. I hope they are together now in heaven 🙏 ❤️
Listening to him talk about June as if she were in the other room. This was a man of absolute belief and her death was of no consequence because he knew he'd see her again quite soon. Talk about strong faith
Amen
@katy bourassa John cheated on Yoko. Paul cheated on Linda, FDR cheated on Elanor. Even Reagan cheated on Nancy. Cheating is a terrible thing to do to a partner but many a person has cheated on someone they deeply love. Especially in a marriage where one partner is in the spotlight constantly. Doesn't make it OK but it doesn't make me doubt how much Johnny loved June
A Johnny Cash song was played as the only song at my dad's funeral.
I'm sorry for your loss
Ill fly away covered by johnny cash was at my grand fathers funeral.
We played Johnny's version of Sunday Morning Coming Down and I'd Be Better off by Doug Stone.
Was it ring of fire
Was it a Nine Inch Nails cover?
My son fell in love with Hurt not long after we lost his mum , I have collected a lot of his later recordings, he was like vintage wine he just got better with age . I hope future generations don’t forget him.
My son was a goth . One day, a group of his friends came to my house. When they saw my collection of Johnny Cash CDs there was a rush to start playing them. I stood looking at these lads dressed in black with body piercing and remarked that no other musician could appeal to such a diverse audience. Cash was unique.
Johnny was a class act and absolute gift to the world. Not just as a singer but as a great person. Full of wisdom and inspiration. His voice even in the last times of his life was and always will be always music to my ears. I have always loved this great man.
Johnny and June certainly lived a full life. Such wonderful Voices that will be enjoyed long after both are gone.
He wasn't the best guitar player. He wasn't the best singer. He was just a really good person with a pure heart. And he was an original who had "IT." I still listen to his music and miss him.
My dAd was in his 80's when he discovered Johnny Cash. When we would go to visit him at his home, Johnny's music was always playing nonstop. So when he passed away last August, we had a cassette player playing all Johnny Cash sons in the funeral home parlor. We knew he was looking down and thanking us for giving him the perfect funeral by including Johnny!!
Hello Susan 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather over there ??
Mentally he’s all there. Heartbreaking to think if he didn’t have his physical ailments he could possibly still be with us.
Truth be told, I walk by the church everyday where this man performed his very first performance, #Cooper-Young# #MEMPHIS, TN.# #HISTORY RICH#
RIP Mr. Cash. You have been in my life for as long as I can remember listening to you with my dad. Now my kids know many of your songs by heart.
I’m shocked he is only 71 here, he looks and sounds 91. June who was 3 years older than him looked amazing. Rip Carter family.
Yeah I thought he was at least in his 80's...must be all that Rock n roll lifestyle took its toll on him
@@ElvisPresleyTheKingsCourt absolutely hard lifestyle!
He did a lot of drugs in his early years. And he was just an older looking guy in general when he was young. Seeing Johnny at 22 is pretty crazy, because he looks 36 lol.
You’re right, but just remember that this was 20 days before his death. When people are dying, their bodies collapse rapidly. I don’t know this for sure, but it’s possible that he didn’t look quite so rough at age 70, if that makes sense.
The Bacons yes it does make sense, thank you.
That made me tear up, what a huge loss and and what an innovator of modern music. RIP John!!!!!
Great musician song writer. I grew up listening to Johnny cash my father's music.
I love this man, his music and his legacy. The world was better with him in it than without. Godspeed Mr. Cash. So true is the cliche you’ll never know just how much you’ll miss someone until their gone.
I used to watch the Johnny Cash show back in the 60's. He was my inspiration to learn guitar, sing, and start writing my own songs. John has always been one of my favorite musicians with a unique sound totally his own. He will always hold a special place in my heart. RIP John; I know I will see you some day in the future.
He didn't have any boundaries when it came to his guests either artists like Joni Mitchell, Credence Clearwater Revival, and Stevie Wonder were on there as well.
My heart broke when he said "I Love The Killer, We're Good Friends." He seemed so sad when he said it.
A family member of mine saw him sitting alone at the airport one day. He sat next to him and started talking. He said he was the most humble human being he ever met. They sat and talked for a few hours like old friends.
A lot of older people seem to lose touch with the outside world as they get near the end - even if they're still alert and sharp, they seem to be in their own reality. Not Johnny, though.
Tragic isn't it
Who are these people? Do you have personal experience or just rhetoric?
He's got the Holy Spirit Divine Ambrosia in him
Because they’re very sick, hello.
I dont believe it is as much as getting older,to me it's just a fact "it is what it is" dont worry be happy,✌❤
Man he was an old 71 yr old…..
Hard life partying and wrecking himself!!!
Rip man in black!!
Yes he also had a debilitating disease Parkinson’s I believe
71 years old and he looks 91 and thats because he lived and loved full speed ahead. No regrets. A full, glorious and amazing life. As Neil Young once said, "its better to burn out than to fade away." Thank You Johnny for everything.
Humble, a lot of the musicians nowadays should take notes, most could only dream of having a career like his, yet they talk about themselves like they're god's gift to music.
This world was lucky to have you. This man is a true legend and American icon. We will never have another Jonny Cash. Thank you for your contributions to music. RIP JC.
This man spoke truth. God bless you, John. We miss you but even the most faithless people like myself know you're happy with June.
Your comment is very beautiful and heartfelt, especially being from a nonbeliever; it means so much more for you to say that. But I must point out one small thing that might change your life--science and math have proven God already. Look up Dr. Jeffrey Long here on TH-cam or elsewhere and Chris Langan's CTMU (Cognitive Theoretical Model of the Universe). Furthermore, you can look into NDEs and hospice nurses experiences for anecdotes as well.
Part of music died when this Great Man passed Rip True Legend!!!
I grew up In The 70s , and this man was one of the Best
What a humble, genuine man.
That's the best interview I have ever seen with a musician. Johnny Cash was concise and quick to give great answers to all of the questions he was asked. Genuine class and humility a very rare combination.
I implore you to watch more musician interviews
Trent Resnor wrote and initially recorded "Hurt", but said that Johnny's rendition was what the song was really meant to be. Listen to the original track from "The Downward Spiral", then listen to Cash sing it. The emotional content he puts into that song is staggering...so much that it actually hurts.
the original is a thousand times better IMO
There will truly never be a man like this... ever. Truly one of a kind human being.
God bless him.
I’m happy his with June up in heaven.
You know when your soul mate goes that your life isn't long to be over too. When they go, half of you goes with them & the other half of your soul is just winding down to stopping. John & June Cash are proof of this. RIP.
Have you listened to a “ country music” station lately? Every song sounds the same and there is no soul in it any longer.
Billy strings has given me hope in music again
It’s so bad now and I don’t like modern country
It’s kind of dumping how it did in the early 90s when they brought drum machines in with songs like man I feel like a woman
I feel that way with all modern music. Country, pop, metal... It's hard to find any "soul" on the radio, and every genre's hits tend to sound the same.
try listening to colter wall. he's really good
Crap crap crap it's alllllllllllll crap now
Very sharp mind..body has just failed him.
Well...it didn't fail so much as he wore it the fuck out
I loved Johnny Cash all my life, now my son also loves him. Such a humble, authentic man and musician/singer ❤
I really liked you Johnny Cash someday we will meet in heaven....
We all will sister Sandra all of us together I pray peace to you rest on brother Johnny c we all Love you so much😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
In heaven we will all know each other as brother & sisters. Everything else is left behind in the material world or so it goes
Johnny is Satan's bitch.
I doubt u will meet him in heaven. That's a storybook not real life. Bahhhhh sheep.
This man was a warrior of God in Mortal form. Forever amongst us in spirit, free from the shackles of hardships we endure throughout life
A warrior of God, eh? Was this before or after he cheated on his wife with June?
@@TurtleMyrtle12 Both.
So are you.
How cool to have one of the best rock journalists/interviewers get this interview with one of the best singers. How cool.
Musical legend, believer of Creator; doesn't get any better than that...RIP Mr. Cash, thank you for sharing...
I met Johnny Cash in movie theater line back in the early 80s, told him he was a music staple in my parent's house growing up.
@Black metal fan He appreciated hearing that younger people were listening to his music and wished me and my wife well.
@@vorant77 holy shit! U were a married aduld in the early 80s? U old as dirt
@@McHenryCruiser And you're dumber than a bag of rocks
@@McHenryCruiser saw your TH-cam page sort of surprising you've not gotten the Darwin Award yet.😊
@@vorant77 i dont expect an 80 year old to like me bruh
This makes me sad for my parents and myself for when I get old...I love whoever is reading this don’t feel alone beautiful heart
You either my friend. You either.......
When Waylon and Johnny passed away, country music was changed drastically. RIP legends.
Trevor Phillips i aggree 100%
People don’t think about that Clear Lake was going to be a defining moment for music no matter what. Either rock would change forever or country would. Buddy or Waylon.
