    Johnny Cash had an unique voice; not just when he sang, but also when he was
    just talking - he will always be missed.

    This man was tough, sensitive, polished, raw,
    funny, serious, wise, foolish, simple and a superstar. He hung with Kings and yet was a man of the people. He loved his country but recognized its wrongs. Take all that away and you still have one hell of an entertainer.
    There will be no other Man in Black

    He’s so right-taking that first step, walking into that first meeting, is so freaking hard. I remember mine: I walked back and forth in front of that door probably a dozen times. Finally, I put thought out of my head, grabbed the handle, walked in and sat down. 5 minutes later, I knew I was where I needed to be. It doesn’t have to be a big clinic. It can be the YMCA or the corner church. Just take that first step. I was the sorriest drunk out there, beyond hope, I thought, but here I am 7 years later still sober. You can make it, too…

      You have to face whatever it is you are running from. Face what you fear, face the pain and connect with who you were before all that stuff got a hold of you. We all started out as innocent, curious and lifeloving creatures. If you can connect with that beautiful little kid you once were, you got it.
      I bet you didn't hate being sober when you were a kid!
      This is what it was like for me anyway. Hope this helps. Take care stranger ♥️

    I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Cash in Aurora Illinois 1980, A good friend of mine met him in a airport and got talking to him waiting for a flight and come to find out he was on his way to our hometown Aurora to do a show at the Paramount theater, we watched the show from back stage and met and talked to Johnny and June for awhile after the show, it was great, Johnny seemed 10 feet tall to me and humble and down to earth, said he was tired and looked forward to a good quality hotel bed to turn in and get some sleep, I’ll never forget that day.

      Yes. He was raised being told the wrong son died. Now imagine being a kid, seeing your brother die in a bed with most of his stomach sawed through as your dad who you needed for love and support say why wasn't it you, the wrong son is dying, should've been you. Idc who you are or how tough you are when a parent says this to you daily through trauma, it takes a toll. And everyone was pushed to perform. More more more. Just like Cobain. More music more money, no rest no time off, make music, sing. So take some uppers and go go go.

      I was never a great judge of character, but I’ve always tried to be decent to others. Right to the moment they get into my face. Then, no favours. On your way, son.

    When Johnny got arrested in Starkville, Mississippi, it was due to the fact that he picked flowers from a yard that belonged to an extremely paranoid old lady. She looked out the window, saw Johnny, panicked, and called the cops. He spent the night in jail yelling, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Johnny Cash!" He paid a small fine the next morning and that was that. The song is pretty good, actually.

    The joke "a Sioux named boy" almost got lost. Lovely play of words using the title of the song.
    Johnny Cash, despite all the adulation he received, was a humble and very likeable man with a mesmerising voice and a gentle sense of self-deprecating humour. He conquered his demons, fortunately. After so many years, still appreciated and valued.

    Johnny Cash = My Dad. Because my Dad was big and played in a Country band and he always sang Johnny Cash's songs. In my mind and heart, there is no separation. Of course my Dad only drank here and there, mostly sober. He tried weed, but never took other drugs.

    That's like The Sam Turek Sound, we would visit the Cuba Memorial Hospital so he could play his accordion for the Elders. 🤔

    My first time walking into a NA in my town of espanola NM, USA . It was my first time being sober after 1yrs of opiates and cocaine and benzos as well. Well I got out of rehab , in Santa Fe NM and I wanted to keep on going to meetings after rehab because they took us every weekend. So I got out and found a NA meetings in my town which has always been really bad with heroin abuse since the 60s and still is today 2022. But this first time I walked in that meeting, the 2nd day I got out of rehab and sat down and immediately saw signs of the host was still using, with hints of him inching , slurred speech and after the meeting was over , he came over to me when I was in the parking lot and asked if I needed any Xanax and I knew this NA or AA in my regions of new Mexico wasn't for me or in Albuquerque was even worse. So what I'm trying to say is , do what makes you comfortable in trying to get sober. Like If doing things to stay sober are hard such as going to AA or NA , then maybe it isn't for you. But don't give up with trying a new direction in life , because it'll eventually pay off. And it's gonna be hard . It took me 3 trys to finally stay sober . It's been since 2017 since I've last used and I had struggled with opiates and coke since 2004 and it isnt easy the 1st time but over time , you will see itll be harder and harder to keep using. And that's when you know , it's Time to give it up.
