Johnny Cash never actually collapsed on stage, he did how ever trash the foot lights and a mic during The Grand Ole Opry which is why he was kicked off the tour.
@impreprex1979 And when he was stationed in the Airforce, Germany back in the '50s, he got so confused and frustrated at one time that he threw the typewriter out the window LOL! True story, just watch the documentary I told you about in an earlier comment :)
@johnfogertypiggypig what do you mean? If you mean this stoned-on-stage thing I suggest you watch "The unauthorized Biography of Johnny Cash", it's up on youtube! Yep, this actually happened. He was stoned on stage but the thing with the collapse is just for the movie, it didn't happened in reality.
Did you know that when the fearsome russian dictator Josef Stalin died in 1953, the first one who decrypted the message to the west was actually Johnny Cash, stationed in Germany during his airforce service.
@impreprex1979 yeah ofc, just watch The Unauthorized Biography of Johnny Cash, it's up here on youtube in parts! He DID take the micstand and smashed allmost all the footlights, which made him banned for life to play at Grand Ole Opry. In Walk The Line he just smashes one footlight with a kick...
Joaquin phoenix sound's like johnny alot in this song, they should have made a full version of it! And it was at the grand ole opry were he kick out the lights not the johnny cash show
First half of that song, Johnny coulda gave Jerry lee Lewis a run for his money. Then the drugs sent the other half to Hell in a handbasket. That's coming from a diehard Cash fan.
The Script Writer Overdid it He Never Passed Out On Stage However he did smash footlights at one Johnny Cash Show while Signing A Boy Named Sue. to bad they hade to over react
@cashfan123 my grandpa was part of security at one of his shows and told me years before this movie came out that he had to help carry johnny cash off stage because he collapsed, but whether thats true or not, i have no idea haha. but he does have a picture with him
