- Johnny Cash speaks frankly about his life threatening years long friendship with alcohol and other drugs and how that friendship turned into a battle for his life. Johnny Cash survived because of the love and understanding that someone offered. These are the two main ingredients of the treatment at River Park, love and understanding.

The Man In Black was a special person. I love how he played music for the prisoners even after his label told him not to. They told him his fans “didn’t want Johnny going out there singing to rapists and murderers.” That his fans were good Christian folks. Johnny said, “if that was true, then they weren’t real Christians.” This man thought so deeply and he had empathy for everyone. He understood the Lord and the power of forgiveness. He knew that he had to forgive these prisoners so the Lord would forgive him for his own sins. He said the prisoners were the best audience he’s ever had which is why he recorded albums there. My father loved Johnny Cash. He loved his storytelling. We use to go on long Sunday drives together, listen, sing and laugh along to Cash. I just lost my dad in June, 2020 to cancer and in a way Johnny Cash’s music is a link to my father. I have great memories with my dad listening to his music. Thanks Mr. Cash. You’re loved and missed and you’re a legend, and legends never die. You’ll live on through your music, always.
#RIPDAD 🙏🏼

He never forgot where he came from or his sense of humility. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Johnny Cash. He was a true Christian and practiced what he preached.
His honesty is such a blessing. He lived it. He knew it. A little like me. Will be clean and sober, now, for 21 years. I know what he means.
Congratulations on your sobriety! That's a huge accomplishment!
I don't mean to sound all stalkerish or be like the character played by Kathy Bates in "Misery" but I have been a fan of Johnny Cash since he came out with "Cry, Cry, Cry" back in 1955. When I saw his cover of "Hurt" I absolutely fell in love with him. I never had the opportunity to meet Johnny Cash but his music has been so much a part of my life that I feel like I know him and when he died back in 2003, I cried like a baby. It was as though one of my own brothers had died. When I think of the life he was living back when he was in the clutches of his addiction and then think of how he managed to kick that addiction, I know that God certainly did not intend for him to die in that cave back in 1967, because I believe in the decades since then his story has inspired countless other people to kick THEIR own addictions and gain back their sobriety. I am extremely grateful for the example he set and I am especially grateful for all the music he left behind that is some small consolation for those of us who love him. He said that he wanted to be remembered as a good husband and father and that really struck a cord with me because as much as I love his music, the thing that I primarily remember about Johnny Cash is that he was a GOOD MAN.
He was such a paradox but that’s what makes him an icon and inspiration.
Those boots !!!
are they not hooker boots lol
i love you JOHNNY CASH XOXO
@@AndreaPresley I thought the same thing
My thoughts on John is that very few if any living men have met God and also met the devil in their lifetime. John R Cash might be that man. And he went to the depths of the darkness and returned to the light 🕯️ and chose goodness over evil. That is what gave him so much depth and gravity and wisdom. He was one of a kind. Thank you for this interview.
Gosh he sure did but best it T G
Beautifully said. Thanks
I agree with you but there are more then a few people that have met the devil and then had God raise them out of the pits of a sinners hell that is as real as anything ever was or will be. It is so amazing the powers of the Lord of Lords we serve. We don't do enough to serve him as we should. But he will never forsake us. He will always be there when we call and he will help carry our burdens along our walk through life if we pray to him and read our Bibles and look to his living word. Share the gospel whenever you can and put your faith in Jesus christ and know that he died on that cross at Calvary and that his precious blood paid the debt owed for our sins. Thank you Lord for all of your many blessings. Thank you for being the awesome powerful God that you are and thank you for sending Jesus to this earth as our savior. Thank you for saving me.
People can overcome their addictions with love …
I love Johnny Cash, all that he became and how his songs helped so many of us. His song, "Man In Black" was amazing for what he said in that song. I get emotional and also inspired every time I hear it. A great human being.
I enjoyed this interview very much. John was a great man and close friend of mine since my dad Marshall Grant played bass for him for several years. I miss him greatly.
Thank you for doing this interview
Randy they were both great men. Your dad was very dedicated to Johnny cash. I have read several books on Johnny cash. There was so much to take in. I have not read your father's book yet, I was there when it happened, can't find it, when I try to get it online I'm told it is unavailable at that time. I love how music was during their time. You were lucky to be around greatness at its best.
And your Dad was also so a great man. Beaucoup de courage. Love
Your dad was a legend!
They were all so legendary :
John , Marshall and Luther ! RIP to all of them. / CD
Wow
Thank you June Carter Cash. What a great woman !!
Hmmm, this great woman was one of the reasons for his first marriage ending. She was married, as well as Johnny. Johnny had 4 daughters that needed him as well as his wife but was left alone for many months. June was just there when God saved Johnny Cash. June left her young daughters to travel the road with johnny cash . Her raised her children.
What a beautiful interview. I'm always happy to see just how kind Johnny Cash is in interviews. It comes through. I appreciate his honesty and vulnerability. There's no arrogance there. He seems so grateful for everything he has. I appreciate this interviewer very much as well. Both of these men have helped many others. We must all treat addicts with compassion and face own own addictions head on with humility and determination to make good choices and take a new direction.
😮he ia a super entertainor
Love ❤️ Johnny so much !
Thank you for this video. Johnny Cash was a true legend, a really honest devoted Christian and human being who went through so much but God and family and friends brought him through the other side.
Love you Jonny. Keep up the fight.
Thank you! “To he who much is given, much is required” -JCash quoting bible. One Day at a Time👏 ❤️ & Understanding heals 🙏❤✨🙌🌎✌️
Really enjoyed this. Thank u for posting!
I LOVE YOU GRANDMA GRANDPA
💖I had to listen to "STRAWBERRY CAKE -by Johnny Cash.🥧I just love that song tho not exactly like another one by him that makes u laugh your head off! 😁.🤣🥇💙His heart is of gold!🙏😇💜
Ell I'm in my own hell hearing the testimony of John cash helped me through to day we are better than we think of ourselves tomorrow is new I won't dwell in the yesterday's I I'll look for inspiration I might not find it tomorrow looking for something outside of my own selfishness is an achievement if I help another soul that's a victory on the journey to armistice I hate that word war they are internal an external.
Hombre tan Juapo me encantas johnny Cash eres super juapo te amo ❤
This man was a real overcomer. In Christ we can oovercome all. Thanks brother for this.Blessings. He is an inspiration and blessing to all.
John was such a humble man of God . I too lived this life , not only as a musician / entertainer but as a family man . The struggles we go through and the need for acceptance. I searched for years for a church home and finally found it in 2005 , I was 43 . My mother was from Budapest survived WW2 because of her mother who died at 28 . In 87 she was murdered at age 45. I was on the road playing music 24 and my baby sister 13 witnessed it. Shock, disbelief, horror ..to be strong for everyone around me , I drank ...for 25 years until I hit my knees one night crying , screaming and begging God to take it away . Most people dont realize that God ( Jesus ) is real and he sends angels , sometimes in the form of people ( people who truly care ) Thank God for those of us that have that type of compassion. My story is a long one but I can testify that Johnny is absolutely correct. Mans condoning of Alcohol , Pharmaceuticals etc is a ruination of life , not just in America but all over the world. Satan is the biggest deceiver. I was a child in West Germany and came to the states in 66. All I had ( blood ) was my mom . All her family were dead. Can you imagine the pain of trying to survive and raising your children without anyone to help ? Johnny and June were survivors and so am I , Never give up , surrender yes to Jesus but never ever give up until its time for God to call you home. Thank You so.much for this interview. Sincerely Bernd ( Ben*Ben ) Stefan Adler
Healthy Clean and tall boots
"Downers" aka alcohol, opiates, benzos, etc.. ARE the hardest to kick.
There is a demon called deception.
Sure is. He visits me every day and I always decide to fight back although it's a different form of deception

I think John has the answer
❤f
Nice boots
Big gang ok luv lol

Go to, gallowayhousememphis.com click on "History", location of Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two, First Live Show.
Was this interview in 1983 sir?
Yes, we believe it was '83. We're double checking our records
@@riverpark-itsgreattobealiv6340 Yessir, I recognize his hairstyle just after his film as Lamar Potts lol.
Thumbnail vs title.
Let’s do one of me
7:39 habituated to the chemical
Interviewer doing all the talking
It's an informercial for River Park treatment centers
Something in his eyes... was he nervous, or what was going on with his eyes all the time? Just wondering....
Think it was a nervous tick he has/had. I've noticed it in few other videos as well.
Sorry but it was cocaine .it's hard to believe how hypocrisy he's talking bout it rite now but in his mind he's like "ten more minutes I'm getting hi"
@@larryreynolds631Johnny had that tick in his eyes until the day he died and he didn't die high on cocaine 🙄 stfu
I dont think it was cocaine, i think he was on opiods and knew he wasn't 100 percent shaight. He said downers are harder to quit and he even went to scratch his nose a couple times. Even if he was he was trying to help people get shaight. He was very nervous and it seem like a twitch too which I do from years of abuse. Sometimes I look like I'm on speed but I'm not. I think it fry your brain and leaves permitted twitches and nervousness
I've always been a big fan of Johnny and June. I saw a documentary called my darling Vivian about Johnny's first wife. It was an eye opener. They were happy for the first 5 years or so of their marriage. He got addicted traveled alot and moved from Tennesee where she knew neighbors to a secluded place in California. He was addicted, cheated with June so she filed for divorce. She had 4 daughters in 6 years and raised them but June publicly kept saying she had children and how tired she was. June was not the primary mother figure. Vivian had the children all school year and a week and Christmas. Vivian almost wrote Johnny to ask that June not say it. She didn't send it but of course it bothered her. So God bless them all but my view of Johnny and June is tainted by how Vivian suffered. We're all human and I can't judge but there action hurt Vivian and 4 daughters. I am glad Johnny and June had love.
I saw the documentary as well. Wow, another side of the story that was never told. I saw that June was a woman that walked away from her children to travel on the road. So she didn't stay home to raise her children for 1/2 the year but left it to others to raise them. What kind of woman is that? Did June apologize to Vivian for the life she took away from her and her family? Vivian stayed home and love and raised her children as a single young woman and being away from her family. I don't see that June saved him. She was just their when he felt God's love.
@@dawnbolton6024 June neutíkala od svých dětí,narozdíl od Vivien pracovala a láska kterou dala Johnnymu mu zachránila život
@SueProst totally agree : John Cash , great singer/ song writer, but also a selfish man when he came to his family. He for sure abandoned his wife & four lovely daughters😰
@@bernadetteclarke7776 which probably wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been in such a dark place with drugs. He made mistakes, he's human and so was June.
What with his long boots?
He never said anything about the music and how diabolical it became to put that into the youths heads . He was no different all he cared about money .made it a family business . My family was in the industry Im, so blessed my father told me the truth and I decided to stay away from it . Entertainment what a joke on people lol
that was a seriously horrid stupid fucking statement. ignorant and myopic
Don’t listen to them. Drugs are good. Keep doing them. There’s no way can be happy without them.
