I always thought he seemed like a good guy and one that would be fun to have a drink or two with. Musical genius? No, but I thought his music was fun...

3. LOL, I just read an article that quotes him
http://www.cmt.com/news/feat/jcash.111403.jhtml

SNIP
Huey Lewis reluctantly recalled his inaugural meeting with Cash. The two men were dining together in London after attending a play where Cash's stepdaughter, Carlene Carter, had a role.

"I was in awe of him, obviously," said Lewis. "We're just kind of making small talk, and I think he complimented me. I was amazed that he knew who I was. He said something like 'Huey, you do an awful good job.' And I said, 'Well, you know it's easy.' And he said, 'If it was easy, every son-of-a-bitch would have done it.'

'I said where are you staying?' He said, 'I'm staying at the Mayfair Holiday Inn.' I said, 'Do you always stay there?' He said, 'I ain't stayed there but once, and that was back when I was hanging out with Bob Dylan, who also turned me on to my first joint.' He said, 'He also turned the Beatles on.'"


And if anyone hasn't noticed.... Hello, I'm a Casholic

7. His memorial on CMT is just now over
Before the memorial Johnny's daughter asked everyone at JohnnyCash.com for political quotes that they knew he made. She collected a bunch of them, and they were given to Al Gore, And at the original tribute, Gore read the lyrics to the "Man in Black" and then used all those quotes. WELL cmt being cmt (Toby Keith channel) decided to cut all of it, and just used a sound bite from Al. PISS ME OFF!!
