(10,109 posts)Since he was "country" I did not come to appreciate him until I was much older and the more I learned about him, the more my respect and admiration for him grew.

It made me sick to see that SOB wearing a shirt with Johnny's name on it.

(45,534 posts)And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
As the flames went higher,
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

(6,829 posts)Johnny performing live with Frank Zappa on the 88 tour. Johnny's wife was sick so Johnny couldn't make it, but they played the song anyway. Both great Americans artistically and morally.
Start the vid about 4:20, unless you like zappa instrumentals.

I loved the movie "Walk the line"
I felt he was a nice person, having empathy and being compassionate.

(193 posts)They do a fine cover "Ring of Fire". Mike Ness their lead singer made sure the audience knew he thinks Trump is a POS with a picture Trump as a clown on stage and his words to that effect.

(9,771 posts)The group urged its readers to boycott Cash's recordings and referred to Cash's "mongrelized" children.
Fearing a backlash among fans, especially those in the South, Holiff launched a counteroffensive. He contacted Vivian's father, Tom Liberto, asking for a copy of Vivian's marriage certificate which would state her race as Caucasian and a history of her bloodlines. Liberto sent him the marriage certificate and a letter in which he detailed Vivian's Italian, Dutch and English heritage. The material was sent to the Thunderbolt.

You done good, Johnny. We sure do miss you.

(5,275 posts)Reading that kind of made my day. We have a lying racist sexist serial liar fraud in the White House. We are the joke of the world.
Of course if we were like other democratic nations, where the person with the most votes win, we would not be in this mess.
