@MrSam1104100 There was no one better than Johnny, he was the man no doubt, the more time goes by, the bigger his legend becomes, and he deserves it. Johnny has been my hero as an entertainer, and he represents my values, and what i stand for so i love watching these videos.
There was only 1 Johnny Cash, we stood up to what was right, and against what was wrong. Johnny Cash was the damn truth, and he spoke it, and lived it, and never gave in to those big corporations, he stood his ground on who he was, and held those principals true :D

first heard this song late 60s the words were true then & still the same today.......except my hair is no longer long and my head shines a little in the sunlight....kids sure play funny music these days...
He speaks from experience when it comes to the effects of drugs. Here he uses that experience mixed with his immense talent to make a positive difference. Such was the man.
This video has 101 likes and 0 dislikes. A true testament to Johnny Cash's impact on the music world and also on social issues such as those addressed in his songs. Thank God for Johnny Cash and others like him.
Truth is whatever the government tells you. They wouldn't lie. After all, they always put the good citizens first even before their own self interests or personal good. HA HA HAAAAAAAA I just had to say that.............Cash was far smarter than many people give him credit. He wasn't afraid of being politically incorrect.....We still luv you Johnny!!!
Those that are trying to bring a fundamentalist Christian message to this song couldn't be more wrong. What is truth can be elusive. Too often we are quick to prejudge. Too often we think we know the answer but we are wrong. The truth is always quite so obvious. We need to drop our preconceived ideas and allow time for light to shine upon the truth.
@ProgressiveJoeWest They aren't my preconceived ideas, they are the words of Jesus. They are the words of his prophets and apostles. They are the words of the Holy Spirit. Between following what God has commanded and revealed in his word or to follow you, or anyone else who contradicts, and in effect makes God to be a liar; I will follow Jesus who declared: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes unto the Father but through me.
Just because YOU think God is truth doesn't mean it is. Also, evidence of God cannot be removed because evidence of God doesn't exist in the first place.
@shelton705 You wouldn't know truth if it bit you in the ass. Your reply is stupid and repetitive. Go pick a fight with a 5th grader that is more your speed little boy.
Well of course my reply seems stupid to a creationist such as yourself. Sadly, you have the mentality of a 5th grader that refuses to grow up and face the fact that the God you believe in just might now exist.
@shelton705 You are both blind and ignorant. Too bad that you will have to learn everything the hard way which is probably how your life has been up to this point anyway. Arrogance is nothing to esteem for. But like many of your other conclusions, this too will be your downfall. Save your public embarrassment an keep your useless opinions to yourself.
Pilate got this far, to the question. The answer stood before him in the person of a man. We've got to go farther than asking the question. The answer is Jesus.
truth is church, the only real church it reins over all buildings of bricks an mortor or religious interpretations it cannot be tarnished by mankinds corruptions there are no locks on this church doors it is open 24 7,365 days a year to every man woman an child on the planet no one can corrupt it and we can only enter of our own free will truth unifies us as it is the same for all it will not change for anyone it is incoruptable eternal and beutiful and all we have
What a friggen good song,i used to listen to it when i was 9 but never really soaked in much of the lyrics until just now.Brought a little moisture to the eyeball.
This song moves me, and I had no idea he made such an amazing speech before he sang it! Honestly, this is a song every adult should understand if society ever hopes to evolve into something worth being a part of. Really, if you look at what we are putting up with compared to the way things ought to be, we are putting up with far too much from the established world that is. Tradition does not equal wisdom, nor make you right. We must find a good path.

That is not what Johnny was saying, he as telling us to tolerate the bizarre things that children do so we may sculpt them into worth wile, god fearing people.
fear god? thats what we are supposed to get from this? man is the only entity that wants to instill fear. children will follow the golden rule and know that the only message god ever sent was one of love, that god would never send them to war and would never lock them in prison, these are works of men of the old world. our youth will not carry on your lie
Johnny Cash is the proof that their is life after drug use. HE IS THE MAN!!!!
