Either that guitar is kinda small or Johnny Cash must truly have been a big man. I know from fact he was 6 foot 1 and a half inches tall, but although he is rail thin here from the amphetamines and starvation he looks big (big as in big-boned).
yup yup yup jr looks like shit on this lol super pills and booze dam maan lol he did keep his eyes WIRED open all the time lol thank for jr an june god see ya when i get there whhoooo
This is such a great song! You can tell, though, from the video that he was pretty hard in the grip of the amphetamines - he really looks bad. Thank God that with His help and the help of June and his family and friends, he was able to recover! We very easily could have lost one of the greatest musicians and American Legends well before his time. You're my hero, Johnny!
He`s nothing but skin and bones here. Looks bad. He`s young here ,but looks old. I`am not sure what year this is, but it`s amazing how in the late 60 s and early 70s he looks younger an waaay better. He was off the drugs, for the most part) and June had pulled him out of hell.
you know i was just thinking--even mid-50's Johnny Cash looks old. prob came out the womb lookin like an old man. he looks gaunt and unhealthy here, lot of amphetamines no doubt, but i dunno bout looking younger later. he just looks softer with more wrinkles
I think he was just being silly when he crossed his legs. Just trying to make people laugh, plus he was pretty lit up. Does anyone know who wrote this song??
wow. quite the graceful leg cross at the end of of the first verse. Definitely not judgin' , just sayin' It can be a very rough world no matter what or who you might be and there is no shame in sayin' gotta start over.
Maybe he had atough time back then, there is something in his eyes that reminds me of mine when i look on em now in this harsh for me times in the mirror. Great singer he was
He looks thin because this was during his "pill period". I have always been grateful that he got off of them because if he didn't we probably wouldn't have been able to have him around as long as we did.
I really liked your channel and this video. If you need any help getting this video exposed I use a site called tubeviews (dot) net It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position.

johnny i understand wat it like to be adicted to drugs u beat it and u inspired to to stop i love u johnny ur voice is playin in my head al the time u are the best ever i thank god for u great song too
Everyone, this song was not written by J.C. And this song has nothing to do with groups like the Dixie Chicks! Listen to the lyrics! He's singing about a band with various political leanings who don't get along. It is a play on words. This is not necessarily a political song. It sure as hell is not an anti-left song as some people think it is. Cash hung out with Dylan, and was anti-war.
Yes I agree he was tweaked for sure. But you know what? I would give Johnny Cash 5 stars just for belching. He had his war with his addiction but he won in the end. RIP Johnny. I will see you in heaven.
well... i think like many others pj become jc fans at the time of his death... as noted by their covering of '25 minutes to go'... did you like this song?... i guess this is the only video of it on youtube... ? he is really tweeked here i think... anyways.. thanks for heeding my advice
This was the time where Johnny weighed only 140, which is bad since he was 6' 2". He would take speed and chase it with morphine. The movie "Walk The Line" didn't seem to show how deteriorated the drugs made him on the outside, bad stuff.
Why'd he lift his legs? He was stoned! When he went to cross his legs, he brought it up just a bit too much. Dexterity and depth perception ain't quite there when you're blasted! With that, and though he's no longer with us, I still Love him & his music!
ther was sumfin about him when he was on drugs, that made his stage performance more fun to watch, his stage presence had a good feel to it, but whatever he did, was amazing.
