Johnny Cash's House on Fire

[lwillis93]

@BecauseImAwsome I quit reading your comment after you spelled "Depressed" wrong. And "Awesome" has an E after the W.

[lrd9999]

Whoever tossed a cigarette near freshly coated wood (I read they were using tung or linseed oil) acted very stupidly. This could even be called criminal negligence. That said, though I'm no expert on Johnny Cash, from what I've heard, he would have found it in heart to forgive the guy. It was a stupid mistake, not a capital crime.

Stupid mother fers need to be punished for burning it down he and his wife were awsome my grandpa knew them when they were younger

[mnpd007]

That's a true story about some redneck throwing a lit butt onto a lacquered surface. Since the entire floor had recently been re-lacquered, the entire place went up like Tokyo in a B-29 raid.

Funny thing about rich public figures, socialites, celebrities, etc., is that they have to hire the same white-trash construction crews as the rest of us.

@mnpd007 how do you know he was white?

[eighty4boi]

TOO BAD THE GUY WHO THREW THE CIGARETTE WASN'T HURT. JOHNNY MADE A SONG ABOUT HIM, YEARS BEFORE

[kiss6310]

who the hell would burn his home dam them

[DrTHENgr1mReap]

Nobody Deserved to live in that house besides johnny cash.

[Kolfritz]

Johnny Cash had been friends with Roy Orbison since they started out at Sun Records together. I think I read that the Cash's built thier houses next to Roy and Claudette Orbison. The fire at the Cash's home was ironic and sad, because in 1969 or so, Roy's house burned down, which claimed the lives of 2 of Roy's sons.

Johnny cash forever !! I was so sad in 2003 when I heard he died ! I will soon visit his grave! RIP the KING of Country !!

[Alicex8x8x]

im just happy they are together now

[sociald666]

I thought the house burning down after john and june passed was pretty symbolic of a passing of an age. Sad stuff!

[SuperGraceland]

who burned his house?

[celivn4jc]

@SuperGraceland after Barry Gibbs bought it, the were renovating downstairs (the whole place was wood) and were applying more lacquer and a worker threw a cigarette down on the fresh lacquer and it ignited.

[manda9317]

@celivn4jc thats a stupid worker hope he got fired

[BecauseImAwsome]

Yes, he DID die of broken heart, he was depresed, in and out of the hospital for pneumonia, he wouldnt take care of him self, he DIDNT want to live, he wanted to be with june, and his body gave up.

[drendanicole]

that's my front yard they're standing in. it really is, I swear.

[figget44]

i dont doubt it. i live 10 mins away

[DET832]

The MD's say he died of complications due to diabetes. I agree with kdub911, he died of a broken heart when June passed away. (Heart surgery I think).

Alanyoung 2 ? The same from Mr Ed fame ??? If so, thank you for the memories.

[blakebellamy82]

I live like 5 minutes away from his house.They still have cameras outside of the house.

[psphelper01]

[rockabillygirl20]

[javidele]

no, he was died in 2003. The cause was the cancer.

[cleven]

or age ?

[kdub0911]

He dies cuz June the love of his life was dead and his heart couldnt take the pain anymore. RIP Jonny/June together again...

[alanyoung2]

Wrong. He didnt die of cancer. Comlacations to diabetes.

[easye1989]

I planned to visit that house once I enlisted into the Air Force, but now I can't. It's so depressing when you look foreward to something really big as a kid and it's destroyed by flame. Still, as soon as I am assigned to my base, I will visit the property.

[paynsterapynster]
