Mr. Cash's brutal childhood and various addictions, women, etc. shaped his music, good and bad. It's hard to walk in another man's boots, especially if they're the wrong size. Thanks for posting, Joe.
Thanks for sharing Mike... joe
A painful but necessary story. You hit one out of the park again, Joe. This could save a lot of lives. Thanks for posting.
Hi Rick...I hate drugs... I’m lucky I never even thought about pills etc. but I had my share of alcohol and that was bad enough. It too can be equally as bad but I was lucky there too not to become addicted. I truly do hope as Marshall did too that hearing this story might stop someone before they ever start.
Best..... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Joe thanks for the reply. Though I never did drugs, alcohol got me...big time. It took me years to come to grips with it and I am finally sober. Someone once taught me a phrase that helped me to understand just how powerful alcohol is. The phrase is "First the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man". How true. That is addiction in a nutshell. This video reminded me of that. Hearing the story in this video helped me and I am sure it will help others as well. My heartfelt thanks for posting it.
Rick
Rick... I really appreciate you saying that... now I’m sure placing it for all to see was the right thing... joe
well it made me realize drug dealers arent friends and neither is anyone doing or trying to get you to do drugs or alcohol. youre just an excuse to get high not companion
There is footage somewhere, I may. Still have it, of Cash performing at a hootenanny with other folk artists. It was so obvious Cash was hopped up on pills. He wasn’t really playing hard but he was a sweatin’ dog. He must have lost five pounds in that short performance.
As you said Rick, painful, but necessary.
It's such a shame that people can't see through the destructive haze
of drugs and alcohol. It's good Marshall and Johnny were able to put
their relationship back together. Their brotherly love for each other
conquered past mistakes. I pray that someone will learn a lesson
from Johnny's trials, tribulation, and his death that was caused by
addiction. Thanks Joe for shining a light on this totally avoidable
destroyer of far too many lives... =(
Thanks Kathy... Joe
The managers don't care what the artists do, they only care about growing that cash crop. That's it all, and JRC knew it. It's also what was 'behind' many other artists who lived a life of addiction for people who never even cared about them.
I don’t know where to begin. My dad passed the year after John, in the intervening years Johnny and his music has become the main bridge to memories of my dad. The Johnny Cash show was when a very quiet man and his young son bonded. Back then, it wasn’t the music that I looked forward to as much as sharing this time with my father. Since, I’ve come to love the music, The American recordings by Rick Rubin are responsible for me taking a closer look at Johnny and are now my most prized records. I don’t care how accurate the movie was about his life and I don’t care, it was an awful movie in my opinion. This short video has brought more clarity and more emotion than anything I’ve read or seen. Thank you so much Joe. Marshall makes a point here of telling us what a great man John was, I would have to say, he is equally as great a man. I’m not embarrassed to say I cried standing in the Cash museum watching the Hurt video, today I cried again. Thank you dad, thank you John, thank you Marshall and than you Joe.......
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Michael..... sincerely, Joe
What a great comment.
Being the Johnny Cash fan that I am, this one was hard to watch. But I guess, as they say, sunshine is a good disinfectant.
Thanks for another great video Joe. Don’t know how you get so many big stories. 🧨🧨
Hi TNT... I felt the same way... hard to watch but you’re correct... seeing it may keep others from doing the same thing... hopefully... best..., Joe
That large cross hanging around Marshall’s neck is no ornament. Although he never mentions the word during this interview, I believe ‘forgiveness’, even unspoken, was the reason he could walk into John’s hospital room and repair a decades-long broken relationship within 30 seconds of his arrival. Thank you for deciding to air this segment of the interview. Marshall was transparent and to the point.
Hi Widdat.... With Marshall that was not just a piece of jewelry. Marshall was a man that showed who he was not only by his words but most importantly by his actions... Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts... Sincerely... Joe
Absolutely!!!! That kind of heart can only come from the Father God, and the Redeeming Blood of his only son Jesus Christ!!!!
The cross is likely the most misunderstood symbols in existence.
Joe, such a touching interview! Johnny was Blessed to have Marshall in his life! A real friend will tell you what you don’t want to hear! God Bless Marshall, he was Johnny’s Angel on earth!💫
Truer words were never said Larry... Marshall as you could tell really loved Johnny even during the worst of times. Marshall was a straight up guy if I ever met one. I have to say I was also lucky enough to have spent time with Johnny. Everyone I knew that worked with Johnny liked him like Marshall even knowing his other side. Johnny did have a overwhelming presence I can attest to. He kinda sucked the air out of the room when he walked in. He recorded one of my songs which was the last time I was around him in 1984. I have a copy of it but unfortunately for me, when the album was released it was not included. Thanks again for watching.... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum maybe you could put it out there , a new Johnny Cash song ,
I’ll check and see if I can legally do that... it’s never been heard or released before. Thanks... Joe
Wow, that was a heavy duty one on about 4 levels. Thanks so much, Joe!
Hi Roger.... let’s hope it keeps somebody from living the same nightmare.... Best... Joe
To tell such a personal and powerful story of someone as famous and beloved as
Johnny Cash and not come across in the telling as vindictive, speaks to Marshalls sincerity and integrity and his genuine love of Johnny Cash. This man is a true friend.
Thanks Pamela... joe
“....living on reds, vitamin c and cocaine and all their friends can say is...ain’t it a shame”
Hi Hard Rock.., thanks for watching.. Joe
Drinking got me kicked out of a couple of bands and now I have permanent nerve damage to show for it. Hurts so bad I can’t even explain it. Quit drinking 10 years ago. I have to look myself in the mirror every day and reaffirm my desire to move forward, which is hard because I’m stuck in bed most of the time. But I’m grateful to be alive and alcohol free, because if i had kept going, I would surely be in a wheelchair, and possibly dead now, and I’m still just shy of 60. Another guy I played with is having drug related health problems. The chickens are coming home to roost. “If I had known I would live this long I would have taken better care of myself.” Bruce
If u don't mind me asking did you ever itch constantly and hurt in your back constantly?
Boy what a cautionary tale! I knew Mr. Cash was an addict but I didn’t know that it was the direct cause of death. He was Country Music’s Bob Dylan,if you like. Such an amazing talent who came from such humble beginnings. May his memory and his music live forever.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts James.... joe
His addiction wasn’t the direct cause of death. He from complications of diabetes and frequent bouts of pneumonia.
Every young musician should hear this. So many great talents lost their lives due to drugs! Yet, it keeps happening. I’ll never understand why. Hope they’ll listen to this and refuse to ever go near any drugs. Thanks for sharing this. May God bless you & all of the musicians with good health, always.🙏🏻🎵🎶🎸🌹
Hi Patricia... unfortunately it’s not just a musician problem.... it’s men, women, adults and children... rich and poor of every race. This stuff coming in from China on the streets kills people the first and only time they ever try it. Kids try everything and just one mistake can end their life and ruin their families too... it’s gotta stop. All the best to you and your family... Joe
Ya gotta tell the story, Joe. No matter how painful it is, ya gotta tell it!................. Kudos!
Hi 24888.... I know... too many people... young people are dying from this plague... some fast and more slowly... and like Marshall said it’s not just the addict... it’s everyone around them. Thanks for your supporting our channel... joe
God bless u Joe. I love these shows. I love Elvis, Johnny, Waylon, Glen, Willie, Kris and Merle. Thanks for all your work . God bless. From Ireland. 🇮🇪
Thank you Robert... you’re very kind... a God bless you too and your family... Best, Joe
Its great to hear this concise historical account from Marshall. He has a fantastic memory and clearly loved Johnny and what they built together- and reflects it without a grain of bitterness. What a great man...
What a great testimony, yet sad indeed...
Thanks Ned... joe
Mr Cash was indeed a great American. Thank you for relating this important story about the dangers of addiction
Hi 567..... thanks again for your supporting our channel and sharing your thoughts... joe
Truth! So sad, I have seen it first hand many times but sometimes there is resolution and good that these guys had their chance many others don't. Amen
Thanks for sharing your thoughts John.... Joe
What a great video, as a Cash fan and as a singer who in the 1980's had a 'Johnny Cash Tribute Band' (if you type in Ron Ryan, Johnny Cash on youtube you can hear a song I wrote about him), and having read all the books about him I feel that in this short but informative video you can learn more about the man, also what a great friend Marshall was to John.
Thanks for watching and your comments Ron... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum And thanks for such informative and interesting videos, it looks like a 'labour of love' on your part, well done!!!
Thanks Ron....... Joe
Thank you for posting this. I hope this serious message reaches ones that need to hear it.
Thanks Craig……… I hope it reaches those who need it too.... joe
Love your interviews also,Joe. I believe Marshall's words and his feelings for a dear friend he watched go off the deep end. I have been a Cash fan since my childhood in the '60's. My dad and I would listen to his records all the time, back then. I still think the man was brilliant. But everyone has has that side to them that is not so brilliant. Great message in this interview. R.I.P. J.R. Cash,Luther Perkins, Marshall Grant,and Bob Wooten. I still play those great songs. That will never change.
Thanks Albert.... Joe
Joe I totally agree with the comments another person made. He said you totally hit this one out of the park and it couldn't be better said. When I was in Middle School I watched a program called Cal's Corral. It was a country music program put on every Sunday by the owner of a large automobile franchise here in Southern California. One Sunday he had on Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two and from then on I became a fan of Johnny Cash. I knew he had all kinds of problems with drugs and possibly alcohol but I didn't know or really think that it was this bad. I'm so glad that Marshall and Johnny resolve things.
Thanks Jim .... best.... joe
Brilliant work Joe,,Thank you!
Thanks Floyd .... best Joe
Heart breaking. I love Johnny cash. It was my first concert I ever went to. Was John cash avd June.
Sadly a story told over and over again in the music business, luckily John was one of the few to recover and make amends.
Hi Chuck... thanks for watching.... I’m glad he was able to make amends too.
Best......... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I got to meet John in 90 and mixed sound for some of his shows in 90/91. He was in good form but crowds had gone away. I have to agree with Marshall, he was special. Can't tell ya what these videos mean to me. Thank you.
Thank you too Chuck.... Joe
Very Interesting Thanks so much Joe you are great
Thanks again as usual Nelly... joe
Very well done, and, the bottom line is this, drugs will take the mightiest of men and women and reduce them to ashes in the end, a horrible sentence for all involved because it rips everyone to sherds along the way, it takes no prisoners but certainly makes you, your loved ones, and friends, feel as if you're living in a prison-like hell! ~Johnny Cash was one of those, the mighty, I loved Johnny's music, as so many did and do, and, I believe he could still be here if his sobriety had lasted, but addiction is a wicked beast, it, unfortunately, has beaten many a human being, rich, poor, the supremely talented, like Johnny, and millions of the average Joe, no discrimination when it comes to drugs and the insidious beast of addiction, of that, I'm positive ~ Thank you for the beautiful music, Johnny and June, all the Carter and Cash families as well ~ Rest easy, and in peace ~ God bless to any and all who may happen to read this ~
Randy... thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts... Joe
Fame, idolization, money, lust, greed, selfishness, but blame drugs for it all. Worst of all is either arcane ignorant laws or those who sit in judgement of others.
Speed absolutely kills!! it's best to stick to the weed, look at Willie Nelson..
Hi Vinny... thanks again for watching... Joe
Bunny Angel : I think Keith Richards is the man to ask.
Don't do drugs that rhyme with each other
Totally true. I’m 60, feeling great. Mother Nature provides the goods. No need for chemicals.
@@mvmmotovlogmusic2815 Brother, I hate to tell you but THC is a heck of a chemical. I know because I smoked it every day for over a decade, and that chemical can be as bad for some folks, as bad as cocaine and heroin is for others!
Thanks for uploading this interview.
Thank you too Bruce... Joe
Really well told story, thanks Joe.
Hi John.... I just videoed what Marshall shared.........Thanks for watching... Joe
Man Joe that was powerful! Thanks for all you do Brother. PJ
Thanks Phil.... joe
Addiction sneaks up and grabs you easy, especially the prescription drugs. No one is immune or too good to get sucked in. It's not to be excused, but rightly understood as a very easy trap to fall into and a hard one to get out of. Grace, forgiveness, and love are the only things that can truly kill the darkness around us and in us.
I think in JC's case, he can be slightly excused by the fact that a 'salesman' at a concert he was playing with Elvis gave him those first pills. He thought it was a blessing, something that was a help.
Johnny Cash was my first musical hero starting from the age of 3. Its so sad to hear this, Cash was a driving force in music of all kinds. Its sad to know he fell back onto that awful world. And just right after Elvis had passed from the same abuse. They started from the same place and the same thing was the reason for their ending. This was hard to watch But it needed to be told like you said Joe if just one life is spared from that life then its worth the telling. Thsnk you for all of these great informative interviews
Thanks Frank( my Dad’s name and my middle) Best, Joe
Brilliant interview Joe, sad, inspiring and very much a cautionary tale, thanks as always for posting this up, best wishes from Chesterfield in the UK..👍
Thanks for watching Paul.... Joe
Thanks for posting it up Joe..👍
I read Marshall's book some time ago in which he talks about these drug issues with Johnny Cash. He lays it all out, good and bad. Marshall is a great and good man who has lived an amazing life. Whether you are religious or not, a higher power definitely put his hands on Johnny Cash, Marshall Grant, and Luther Perkins when they first started playing together in Marshall's house all those years ago. The sound those three made together is completely and utterly unique in music history. Sam Philips recorded it for the world to hear. It still stands up as strong as it ever did, all these years later. And the popularity of Johnny Cash is global, not just an American phenomenon.
Hi Joe.... I believe everything you said is true... thanks for sharing your thoughts... joe
I’m with everything you said except one thing which I’m only 1/2 way behind. At the end you said, basically, that he was successful despite the drug use and that it was the people around him that made him successful. I think first and foremost his songs and songwriting made him successful. His family and team him even more so.
When the drugs got bad, it was his friends and June that always helped him back up. That's what he was saying.
Another great one Joe, thanks for posting.
Thanks mtc..... glad you liked it.... best,, Joe

Welcome Tom.... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I watch every minute of every video!
Another great one, Joe!!

i will always contend that great and real artists ...singers ..have more often than not.. endured pain...and it infuses their "voice"
George ..Tammy..Merle..Johnny ..Elvis ..Elton etc etc.
Hi Marc.... that’s true... best... Joe
Gifted people can't relate to other people the same. There's this gift inside of them they need to share, but they are also afraid of being rejected. You live on a two edged sword. To deal with this heaven and hell situation, a lot of musicians and singers medicate. It's a sad reality.
thank you for these amazing stories. i can't say I agree with marshall on right and wrong being black and white, but i certainly know where he's coming from.
pretty remarkable that they were able to stay friends at all considering what JC put everyone through.
Mr Cash seems to have had very good friends. But when you don't know when enough is enough (or for some reason can't stop it) it doesn't make much difference in the end.
I have witnessed it myself.
Great post, Joe (again!)
Hi Arne..... thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.... joe

Great interview.
Marshal is a class act.
Thanks Stephen... Joe
I always had a lot of respect for Johnny Cash (R.I.P.)!
Still do!
I saw a documentary on him not too long ago that said, he was doing in excess of 100 UPPERS and DOWNERS a day!
I couldn't believe it!
I can't see myself swallowing 100 of any kind of pills a day, like vitamins, etc, yet alone UPPERS and DOWNERS!
If true, I'm surprised he lived as long as he did!
That's not even counting the alcohol and cigarettes, etc!
GOD BLESS HIM.

It took me till about 36 to pull my head out but unfortunately at the time it took also getting away from music for a while. Being in a bar band made life to tough to kick the old habits. My Mom still tells me she never thought I would see 18 but here I am at 56 enjoying life drug free. I know that if I had kept up the way I was going my days were numbered. My wife and I cleaned up together and are about to celebrate 20 years of marriage. Its amazing how much easier a relationship is when sober.
Thanks for sharing Scotty... Congratulations!!!! joe
I watched this twice and teared up both times. I thought his addiction ended many years ago.

Wow. These interviews are priceless, Joe. You're a good man.
Have you been able to reopen the museum yet? I need to come check it out.
Hi Johnny... thanks for watching.... yes we opened a few weeks ago for 4 days a week for the time being... best.... Joe
Truthfully, as someone who is going through alcohol addictions at the moment, nothing can change us from our desired life. One day, I’m will kick this addition but it isn’t now. Maybe the old timers can save men like me but ultimately it’s our choice just has it has been for centuries
RIP Marshall.
There is a story about Johnny Cash going to Nickajack Cave . . . and June bringing him out of it. I'll try to find this story.
Hi Robert... yes I’ve heard that too... It was shown in the movie Walk the Line which Marshall was hired as a consultant. Thanks... Joe
Thank you Joe for another emotional and powerful video, even though it was painful to watch. Since time immemorial there was always a price to be paid for path we choose... choices and of course, consequences. I wish John's addiction had never happened.
Hi Ivan... it was very emotional wasn’t it... I almost changed my mind and not put it up for you guys to see but after watching it a couple times ( it’s been years since we shot it) I felt hiding it wasn’t going to help anyone and that’s why Marshall told it ...... he wanted to help keep anyone else from going through the hell they all went through due to drug abuse. I wish it never happened too... best, Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum
So glad you didn't change your mind Joe and shared it with all of us so we can be aware of potential pitfalls and hidden danger of drug addiction.
Take care Joe, stay safe and healthy.
Thanks again Ivan...... joe
I feel very sad that many people will watch this and think Johnny Cash was all about drugs. Yes, he had a drug problem for a number of years, but eventually he got clean; if he hadn't, he would have died much younger than he did. It's like with Elvis, people just want to talk drugs, drugs, drugs. To them I say, "you never walked in that man's shoes, never saw the world through his eyes; so help your brother along the way; for the same God that made them made you, these men with broken hearts".
Great story. Wow! Glad they resolved their friendship.
Thanks Playpen... joe
What a shame that this happened. The side of this business that no one wants to talk about. Great interview.
Thanks Jimmy.... joe
Still did not answer the 1978 question, why? Why after 1970-1978, good years, did he fall down? What did they say to each other in 30 seconds that made things right, with no one apologizing? So much pain and wasted life. At least it was put back together at the end.
Thomas.... thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.... Joe
I've often wondered if it was because of Mother Maybelle's illness and death. It seems Johnny Cash really revered her and she was a second mother to him.
Great video
Fantastic interview, very sad how drugs interfere and can wreck the best of things. Thanks for posting
Thank you Brian..... Joe
what a great insight thx bubba:)

Can anyone give a breakdown on what pharmecuticals cash was on and what him an Waylon Jennings were doing ontop of cocaine.... This channel shows the Real history more than any other references i have looked into... Respect Joe
Hi Robert... first thanks for watching and your comments and support. As for the coke... I know Waylon was heavy into it but as far as I know Johnny was mostly pills... uppers and downers... best... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum yeah i was just always trying to get the fact info on his intake through out his life.. For instance we all know Johnny Thunders was on Heroin and Cocaine 8 days a week... But what pharmecuticals was cash and Elvis on in the mid 50s to 60s.. Was it Benzadrine or methedrine or what maybe some one in here will say. .Thank You so Much for this channel Joe I actually research this history. .
Robert... to be honest I really don’t know much about their drug use other than like I said ... in general Johnny had jars of pills I was told ... Waylon Into coke... I’m sure there was probably other drugs too along with alcohol but that’s all I know. In the mid to late 70’s to mid 80’s Waylon, Jones and Paycheck along with others still alive I won’t mention wasted millions on coke. .
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum yes sir i could go into it and explain even show some over exaggerating by some of them because the amount s they say would be overdose. I was around LA Rock stars when i was a teenager so i seen stuff. I actually got into real music in my 20s. You are not supposed to know about these drugs because you are a real person family man Musician. Respect Joe
Waylon was on a $1500 a day cocaine habit he was all about it haha
Drugs make for the best music and I salute all of those that did alot of them to leave the rest of us with timeless albums 🤘🏻
"Just like Jesus Christ" !? You, sir, are nuts!
Hi 431.... yea I think Marshall got a little carried away there for a second. He did say “almost like” but still I know what you’re saying. Thanks for sharing your thoughts... Joe
I miss the Statler Bros!
Look, I wasn’t there but it seems pretty obvious to me they weren’t a good match for that period of time. I don’t think you can blame this one on drugs.
Drug abuse and alcoholism isn’t a disease.
It’s a symptom
Hi Josef....thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts but I have to say you definitely can blame it on drugs. Not sure why Johnny started using but it wasn’t because of his relationship with Luther or Marshall.... to be honest Luther was using too. He passed out on his sofa while smoking a cigarette and it caught the sofa on fire killing Luther... it was rumored it was due to pills. Best.... Joe
Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum I see what you’re saying but I must respectfully disagree.
Johnny went through a bad phase. I don’t think drugs were the reason he was going through a bad phase. I think drugs amplified what he was already going through. In my opinion they made things much worse but they weren’t the absolute source of his problems.
Josef.... I think you’re right... Johnny must have been having personal problems and like I said who knows why anyone becomes dependent on drugs other than getting hooked accidentally on pain meds due to a medical problem but if I understood your statement that it was due to a rub between Johnny and Marshall that’s just not the case. Thanks again... no disrespect to you either.., best... Joe
@@josefk5659 John had a bad relationship with his dad. His dad didn't approve of him being a musician and I think that was a lot of it. Acceptance is a thing we all look for. Everyone deals with it differently.
the greater the man the greater the flaws
Maybe they seem greater because of the contrast.
@@rman52 Maybe
For all these years I'd thought John had been cured. But I guess it's just like Carrol Burnett said, addicts can't be cured.

What difference does it make?
The medical community has defeated many ailments but addiction is still a medical mystery.
Hi T.... thanks for sharing your thoughts... joe
Addiction isn't a mystery once you look at what causes it. A lot of times the addict has underlying mental or emotional problems that are hard to see. They deal with it by medicating. Some people use drugs. Some people use food. Some people use sex. It depends on the person.
Amphetamines and other things ?
Hi Eric. .... I’ve only heard about pills.... never heard of other things. Best..... Joe
amphetamines and barbiturates/benzodiazepines. he had an opioid issue in the 80's after a surgery.
