Shel Silverstein on "The Johnny Cash Show"

Outrageous! I can't believe I haven't posted this clip already, but if I did... I can't find it now. Here's Shel doing a quick duet with Cash on Silverstein's composition "Boy Named Sue," followed by an incredibly touching solo performance of a children's song he wrote called "Daddy, What If." From April 1, 1970, in its entirety.

This person makes me happy even on a video. His work that I have researches is a gold mine of creative originality unlike I have rarely seen. If there was ever a genius in the field of creative arts, Shel Silvertein would have to be way up there in history books of 20th century.....no doubt in my mind about that.

@Twilightail AAAHHH SHUT YOUR TRAP! WHEN I WORKED WITH THE CITY OF CHICAGO'S DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER SERVICES, I'VE BEEN CALLING SHELLIE RIEDLE a.k.a. SHELLIE SILVERSTEIN-RIEDLE FOR AT LEAST ONE-YEAR.

why would 8 people dislike this?
psichomiko 11 months ago 19
@psichomiko I have no idea. There's just a lot of unhappy people in the world. But this is still America and people with whom we disagree have a right to voice their opinion. Look at it this way: 8 dislikes out of 150,000+ views is not bad at all! Plus, we know they are sadly mistaken, and that's enough for me. I hope those poor 8 people get the help they need.
