Johnny Cash stood up against the Vietnam War when it was risky to do so, especially with his country audience. That's what the "100 fine young men" line is about, and why it got special applause from his young audience.

Quite some elevated consciousness 52 years ago. This is the type of song us older folks grew up with. Hard to think we're still dealing with most of the same issues.

That's why we love him. He knew real suffering, and therefore, empathy. It didn't make him numb, it made him raw and open. Which I reckon is why he had the drug problems.

Now Johnny was not saint. He had his demons and he never lied about them. But that's what makes him genuine. He lived a hard life at times and learned how to live a good life.

Johnny Cash was a wonderful caring man. My brother in law who was working as caretaker at a place for special need. Individuals. Took a group of men under his care to see Johnny Cash in concert and Johnny invited them all back stage after the show. He sat and talked with them and my brother in law for over an hour and let them know how appreciate he was to be able to meet them.

He was at his height of fame - when he performed this - he truly cared about the poor, imprisoned, wrongly imprisoned and diseased w alcoholism etc.

Did you know that Johnny Cash and Elvis performed together. They also imitated each other. Another wonder video.

John lived a very hard life in his young life. He broke free from drugs and Alcohol. Way to go Johnny Cash.

I remember when he did his prison shows in the '60's. The press and others criticized him greatly. But those of us who grew up listening to him, who weren't rich, and were just regular folks totally got it and appreciated it so much. That's when I became a fan. He was very unique and a quality human being. If you ever get a chance to go to his museum in Nashville, do it.

Remember, he also did 2 prison concerts, first in Folsom and the second in San Quinton. He didn't just talk, he put actions behind his words

The heart of a punk, yes. But he's missing the standard issue punk rock clothing and haircut, the standard issue nasally faux-British-accented singing, and the typical nose-in-the-air finger-pointing lyrics. But other than that, a punk at his core. However without all those other critical elements many would deny him his entry into the hallowed halls of punkrockdom. So Johnny will just have to strum his guitar and sing his songs for the people outside on the streets, like a lowly commoner.

Would love you to see you guys do the movie about him "walk the line". Super underrated film imo.

Roger Miller was another great story teller. "King of the Road", "Dang Me", "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd", ....

You guys give this old man hope that the younger generation is waking up and realizing that the old ways of family first faith and love are coming back. I also get a kick out of younger people discovering the music I grew up on. All the best to you and your beautiful wife and family from Canada!!

This is not only one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs, but one of my all-time favorite songs - and has been all my life. It is timeless & is a social commentary on our world as much today as it was in 1971.

He is singing this in the prison. He did a concert for the prisoners at Folsom Prison.

Like Elvis he never forgot where he came from, and this song should be used right now even more.... he stood up for the every man and the downtrodden and we loved him as a result. As so many when they make it stop being outspoken and Cash spoke his mind at ALL times, and for that I respect the MAN as much as his amazing timeless MUSIC. Was a treat to see you both absorb one of the best who ever did it

Though it gets many things wrong, the biopic movie "Walk the Line" will give you a better picture of what he lived through

This man was COUNTRY MUSIC ROYALTY AND A LEGEND. We so need singers like hom agsin

I want you to hear “El Paso” by Marty Robbins. An all time classic.

Johnny Cash performed this song in 1967. He became one of the first country singers to be against the Viet Nam War at the time.

I was just looking to see if you'd reacted to his version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" and it looks like Jay did it early on in the channel by himself. I'd HIGHLY recommend revisiting it with Amber and make sure to actually watch the video. And I said that he remade the Nine Inch Nails song....actually Trent Reznor of NIN said that he now considers it a Johnny Cash song, because his version was so worthy.

Don't you mean NiN's cover of the johnny cash song, 'hurt'. Since NiN themselves admitted it's JC's song now, after how he did it. They said it's his song.

Personal favorites you have not done, Johnny Cash's "The Ballad of Ira Hayes", and "Ragged old flag"

That was simply amazing. I could listen to Mr Cash all the time, great choice

"Man In Black" is also the name of his first autobiography. The second was just called "Cash". When John Carter Cash got married, his father wore a white tux.

This song has so many meanings. It's always been one of my favorites. I was raised in Hendersonville. When we first moved there it was still a small country town. It wasn't long until we saw him in the front pew of the First Baptist Church. It wasn't much longwr til they couldn't come anymore. But he and June Carter on occasion would still stop by the HG Hills grocery store. The only store in town. Then that had to go by the wayside too. Then Hendersonville wasn't a country town anymore.

Just took a vacation to Nashville, we went to the grand ole opry on the anniversary of Johnny cash’s death, the show was a tribute to him and it was amazing , so many artists were inspired by him

Greetings from Finland! I had a ”Johnny Cash phase” in my mid-twenties. Ididn’t listen to anybody else but him for a whole year straight and i personally, i think it made me a better person. His songs, stories and perspective really made me view my own beliefs and preconceived notions differently. A true influencer and inspiration ✌🏻

Cash, with his mannerisms and character is the man i aspire to be

Other songs by Johnny Cash you should hear are Give My Love to Rose, It's All Over, What is Truth? or Rose of My Heart. Soooooo good.

One thing alot of people don't know is johnny was actually part of the military during the Era of the Korean War so he was talking about his brothers who he served with and the ones that came after him

And he still IS the Man in Black!

His “each week we lose a hundred fine young men” was in reference to the vietnam war, and was extremely contriversial. Country artists, especially of that time, were not expected to resist americas decision to be at war, or involvement in the east. This was a pretty epic statement for jc.

About time y'all got around to this!

I had the great pleasure of seeing Johnny Cash and June Carter when I was 10.

Johnny Cash was a blessing to this world. MGRHS. A legend party performant and creator fright up the with a Dylan, Stevie, Van, John, Paul, and Joni… and many others

Johnny Cash: I Been Everywhere,Man

Johnny was the the man ! And always will be

At the time politicians were pissed when Johnny came out against the Vietnam war! He always made a distinction that he wasn't against the soldiers, but he was against the sentiment and reasons for going into that war!

You guys should watch "I Walk the Line". Its the story of Johnny Cash's life. I think you'd enjoy it on many levels.

Believe it or not this is from his network TV variety show. That Vietnam War shout out had to cause heartburn at corp HQ. But that was Johnny. He called it as he saw it.

I had never heard this before. He’s so progressive. I love it.

The Man Comes to Town. Might be his most powerful song.

I had a chance to meet him in 1983 I have some conversation he was a kind ,gentle ,man It was a great pleasure privilege to be able to Meet him speak with him. Share food with him.....

Love you forever Johnny! ❤

Poor Side Of Town was done by Johnny Rivers.

I’ve been waiting so long for you to play this. This song, as well as some other artists, really formed my young mind. I heard this as a kid and I tell everyone now that if they want to catch a glimpse at who I am deep inside, they need only listen to this song. I’ve never stopped listening to this song, or Johnny. I may be a rocker and a punk, but my man matches right on with all of that. Grand Illusion by Styx was another. Closer To The Heart by Rush. Lean On Me by Bill Withers. Second Nature by Rush Try A Little Kindness by Glen Campbell Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel You’ve Got A Friend by Carole King So many more…..

Even though he's thought as a country musician I've found that his songs have a lot of folk characteristics - and have a lot of depth into them

Saw him half a century ago with June Carter Cash at the Wyoming State Fair. Great performer. 👍

Love Johnny Cash; grew up listening to him in the 60s; he was my first musical hero!❤❤❤ “The Ballad of Ira Hayes” & “The Wreck of Old 97” are a couple of early favorites. Possibly the sweetest song of his is the 1961 song “Tennessee Flat Top Box”; a flat top box is a slang term for an acoustic guitar. I’ve suggested this tune a few times, the best video being the one from The Johnny Cash Show with Jim Soley featured on the guitar; believe it was in 1973.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Did you know Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan did a duet of “The Girl From North Country”? It’s a Dylan song which was re-recorded for Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” album. You’ll recognize Cash’s voice instantly . It’ll take you a second to recognize Dylan’s.

Johnny Cash, an OG goth. He was a punk rocker before punk existed. This song is one reason why he is a musical prophet to me along with Joe Strummer of The Clash.

The Man in Black still has meaning today.

Can't go wrong with the "man in black". I liked his song folsom prison blues, hurt,
