Johnny Cash's love for country nearly rivaled that of his love for the Lord, and he took advantage of every opportunity to explore his patriotism in all its complexity and nuance on his short-lived variety show. In this August 30, 1969, "Ride This Train" segment, he salutes the veterans and victims of the Civil War in song and story. Includes a cover of Johnny Horton's "Johnny Reb." That's a whole lot of Johnny!

  • I hope the people raging in here don't start another civil war. Just relax and enjoy some Johnny Cash like the rest of us?

  • @vandal420 That's the vibe I try to maintain (as the moderator). I don't mind people expressing differences of opinion, but I insist on civility. And of all my clips, ironically, it's this Civil War clip that draws the most uncivil debate. Thanks for your comment. Always a pleasure to make the acquaintance of a gentleman, North or South.
