Most singers only sang songs about hating us. We had no choice we were drafted. We hated that war more than them. Our government also betrayed us.

    Theres some context that you need to really appreciate whats going on here. Cash is performing on a college campus at the height of the Vietnam War. College campuses were hotbeds of progressive views and most students ardently opposed the war, going so far as to look down on the men who served in it. Cash sings that he wears black for all the lives lost and received thunderous applause from the audience. He knew he would get that reaction from affirming their feelings about the war. Its what he does next thats amazing. He uses that credibility that he just gained with the audience to stare them down and belt out that he also wears the black for all the men who died believing that we all were on their side. Then he drops into a lower and more quiet sound to let the audience sit there with their feelings about what he just said. Hes directly challenging his young audience to think about their actions and views and the impact its having on the nation and the young men who are serving, often not by choice. Not many performers could get away with making an audiemce uncomfortable like that and have it received in the spirit that it was intended.

    This was on his television show in Nashville for a group of local Vanderbilt University students in 1971, so that's why he said he walked around campus talking to them and then wrote the song because many wanted to know why he only dressed in black. I was in college in 1969-1970 just before going into the Army and it was a turbulent time on campus with Vietnam protests, etc.

    Hi Britt. This was a segment he did about a concert he played at a college. He toured the school and had lots of conversations with the kids. John was a good friend of Bob Dylan and a few other folk singers. John considered some of his songs folk songs as well (and they are). This was a time when we faced every day the news of all our losses in Viet Nam, and we faced drug abuse in America as well and racial prejudice from both sides as we sadly still do. This was John reporting on the state of things. Great reaction yet again Britt. Keep having fun with it. Stay safe and well and adorable.

    Johnny Cash was a rebel. He sang social justice type songs and he didn’t care what the industry thought. If you have not reacted to “Hurt” by Johnny Cash, I would highly recommend it. It came out not too long before he died. Between his voice, the lyrics, and the video it is very powerful. Just make sure to have tissues handy.

  • @douglasainsworth2448

    Johnny Cash became in the 1960s and 1970s particularly an artist who was willing to ignore or go beyond the boundaries of "country music tradition" and sing songs of protest like this. He also did shows in places others wouldn't, like Folsom Prison and San Quentin prison. A couple in a similar vein: Sunday Morning Coming Down and San Quentin both by Johnny Cash and In The Ghetto and If I Can Dream by Elvis. If you've not listened to any or all of these, I suggest them, please

    There is a song, by Johnny's former son in law, Rodney Crowell, called "Walk the Line, Revisited"... It is a song about his discovery of Johnny's music when he was young, and is centered around Johnny's song, "Walk the Line"... It also features some very early footage of Johnny, BEFORE he became the man in black... A great tribute to a man he always admired...
    I also recommend checking out Rodney's ex wife, Rosanne Cash's music too...

    Cash came from abject poverty. He started picking cotton with his family at five. At 8 or 9 his brother died in a really nasty work accident; being cut almost in half by a table saw, for which he felt guilty to his death. He was an addict for much of his life, and spent many a night in prison. He knew hard times.

    Johnny Cash spent his whole fighting for the underdog. He was honest about his own struggles with addiction, etc.
    He was always known after this as The Man In Black.
    Please do his song Ira Hayes. It's about one of the Marines who raised the flag in WWII at Iwo Jima.

    Thank you for doing this. Johnny Cash had a way with words that would go straight to the heart. One of the great country legends. Two more of his songs that you might want to check out are “ Ballad of Ira Hays”( which is a true story), and “Sunday Morning Coning Down”( written by Kris Kristofferson, who gave it to Johnny Cash, where it became a huge hit). These 2 songs will go straight to your heart.!! I’m sure you will enjoy them. Love your videos! Keep up the good work.😎👍👍👍

    The edge of his guitar..."Bedazzling" is what's called binding, and purfling. Binding is a plastic edge (or wood, or other material) that holds the two corner edge pieces of wood together, a premium feature, and another border beyond that, for beauty, is Purfling. His Purfling in particular includes Abalone inlays, which are crushed sea shells, that reflect light in various colors. Abalone inlays are a common upscale feature on guitars. Others include mother or pearl, or fake mother of pearl (Pearloid). No matter what the value of the guitar is, the fact that he played it even once, let alone in an iconic clip like this, far surpasses the core value of the instrument.

    The greatness of the moment, is the prior interactions he was having with anti-war protesters. He didn't understand why these good hearted students didn't support "the good guys" who were fighting in the war. Rather than dismiss them, he opened his heart to their feelings. That lead to his own introspection about his own feelings he had not considered, resulting in an explanation for why he wears black, when he himself had never thought why. He knew he wore it because he felt down, but he didn't know WHY he felt down, and the result is this amazing song. Those kids didn't change Johnny, they awoke him, to the realization he agreed with them all along, in his heart, he just hadn't been listening to it.

    This is one of my favorite Johnny Cash song ever. Also, if you love watching artists go into detail about inspiration for their songs, Shinedown did this at their live in Kansas City tour for a bunch of their classic hits. Really moving stuff, especially if you've never heard of them or their music before. Another band I highly recommend is Delta Rae. Their sound changes a bit depending on who's singing because they have four main singers, but it's great.

    Johnny Cash performed this song when the U.S. was in the midst of the Vietnam war - that's the significance of the line, "Each week we lose a hundred fine young men." And it was kind of a courageous stand to take as a good number of folks in the country music fan base were politically conservative and didn't take well to people protesting America's involvement in the war.

    Cash wrote some great songs back in the early to the late 60's.... try and find GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE....HEY PORTER...HOW HIGHS THE WATER MAMA....GET RHYTHM....Luther Perkings played Lead guitar then....and has that freight train rhythm.....to name a few. I used to see him at Spring Lake Amusement park in Oklahoma City. It cost 25 cents to get into the park and the Johnny Cash show was free....a stage and we sat on the grass.....Jerry Lee Lewis...Conway Twittiy and lots of country singers came thru town

    Hundreds if not thousands of songs from the 60s and 70s carried the theme of protest against the systems that ignored the plight of all. One of the things that never fails to amaze me is the thought by each generation that they are the first to see injustice and try to overcome it.

    Some folks nowadays seem to think country artists shouldn't get political. But one of the greatest country music artists of all time was VERY political. Importantly, he was educated on issues, and had compassion and love for people from all walks of life. For a similar song, check out "The Ballad of Ira Hayes".

    Right there is the closest Johnny Cash ever came to writing a hippie ballad. He performs quite a few songs that could be described as "protest" songs, written by himself or others, but this one really is a ballad of the times he was living in...a reflection of his times and his experiences and since he first performed it, it has been a standard to which all the rest are judged. It's my favorite Cash-penned song.
    To me, the greatest songs, the ones that really stand the test of time, can be performed by any artist, in any genre, and still have the words reach out and touch the listener. I could listen to a heavy metal band perform this, in their style...and it would be a powerful cover. I could listen to it performed slower, softer, by a pop or country-pop artist...and it would be a powerful cover. I could listen to folk singers perform this, blues artists perform this, punk rockers perform this...and each one would be incredible, because the underlying message in the words is so powerful, so universal, and so meaningful. At least, that's what I believe.

    • @msmilder25

      If this were written and performed today, I'm sure many other exploited and overlooked classes would have been included in the lyrics...immigrants, homosexuals, human trafficking victims, abused children, who knows.

    I have followed this same mantra for so long I can't even remember when I started. But it was sometime in my late teens or early 20s, so for over 30 years at least. Note the black T-shirt in my avatar. I wear nothing but black, every day, to the point I've even had people ask me if I ever change my clothes. I don't remember if it was because of this song or not but it was largely from the outlaw persona set forth by the outlaw country genre in general. The fact that I have always been a black sheep, in my family, among my community and in society in general. I grew up with Johnny Cash's music and always gained guidance from it. I have always tried to do what was right, even when it wasn't what was popular, but somehow always paying a terrible price for the stands I make. I haven't made anywhere near the impact Johnny Cash or many others have but I have resigned myself to continue on the same path no matter how much it costs me, and have accepted that paying that price is my mission and purpose in life. In order for peace and joy to exist sadness and strife must exist. I accept the burden of carrying that sadness and strife so others can carry the peace and joy. Johnny may be gone, and you may never see me, but there is still a man here carrying the darkness on his back.
