Like many things during the 1970s the gossip would swirl as the press reported that Johnny Cash would be performing at the white house. The fear was that the songs he would sing may glorify citizens on government assistance as well as help form opinions on anti = war protesters. However, Johnny Cash who was a supporter of President Nixon would entertain those in the audience with songs like "a Boy Named Sue" , "Five Feet Tall and Rising" and "What Is The Truth".

Annie,
ReplyDeleteJohn Cash had a distinctive voice and is definitely a mewsic legend. His hit song, 'A Boy Named Sue' is a funny tune and I remembered how hugely popular song was as a kid even though I didn't understand it I thought it was funny that a boy was name Sue. :) Thanks for sharing and dancing with the 4M crew on the dance floor today, my dear. Stay healthy!

I loved Johnny Cash. Of course he'd be politically appropriate at the White House. I loved "A Boy Named Sue", too
ReplyDeleteJohnny Cash was a true legend. He cut across all boundaries with his music.
ReplyDeleteI loved Johnny Cash even though his music was not the genre I usually listened too. I still have a couple of his songs on my iPod!
ReplyDeleteThere will never be another like Johnny Cash. The man was just another citizen of the U.S. Just another man, but he had something special about him. He loved people, but he searched out for the good in people and he wanted to give the same of himself. He may not have had a great voice, but his words sure made up for it. It got people using not only their brains, but their hearts. Thank you for joining us today!
ReplyDeleteI liked the song he sang about building the car from parts he took home from working on the assembly line! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat post! I've loved Johnny Cash since I was a little girl. Stopping by from Wine'd Down Wednesday party. ❤️
ReplyDeleteJohnny Cash's voice was so distinctive and he knew just how to sing. This song is relevant even today. We all ask "what is truth?"
