  • This is an excerpt of an episode of Pete Seeger's 1965-66 TV show "RAINBOW QUEST" 39 episodes total. Johnny is at the peak of his benzedrine addiction,apparent by his symptomatic ticks, tweeks, and cadaverishly gaunt appearance, He probably hadn't slept or eaten in days. Amazingly he could remember the lyrics! Approximate age 33, not that young.

  • He wasnt nervous we was doped up.....

  • @jcisbell Jack Clement once told me that he nicknamed Cash "Dr. Decibel".

  • i think the presenter was more nervous than he was

  • I heard a sound guy once, who had worked with JC say that his voice was hard to record because it was so strong. He said no matter how much he turned it down it just seemed to rumble and shake the speakers. As a sound guy myself, I guess he was overloading the mic's but the fact that it was rare shows what a unique voice he had.

  • Chris Cooper (actor) should play a roll in a movie being JC. they are very similar!!

  • Best part of this video is June Carter's legs!

  • @motstraumen I agree. They focused the entire movie on drugs like 'Ray.' They were both very spiritual people, but I never thought of the indigenous aspect in 'Walk the Line.' It wasn't even mentioned.

  • I think the movie "I Walk the Line" could have benefitted from expressing some of the deep social convictions that Johnny had above and beyond his fight for the imprisoned.

  • He's Real...

  • haha this foos trippin all tweaked out fukn dope tho siik song
