I'm going to restrain myself to one omission complaint about the Burns show because I know there's a lot of stuff and only so much time, but how they go through a Shel Silverstein chunk bounced off a Johnny Cash live prison recording and not at least name check the earlier 25 Minutes To Go (one of my top 3 to 5 Cash performances ever)... www.poemhunter.com...
So tonight's show is the big Garth Brooks show, so I'm expecting a lot of talk of the misunderstood genius of the Chris Gaines period and the merits of microphone headsets.

The Hank Williams piece in the Burns doc had me in tears.
It is said that Jimmy Rogers is the father of country music but I consider Hank the father. Because most country sounds like it's rooted in the Hank sound
“Johnny Cash, singer of country songs, has told the White House that he does not want to sing the controversial ballad “Welfare Cadilac” at a social on April 17.” www.nytimes.com...
It's a pretty crazy rude thing to request a major artist to just play something not by them that you heard on the radio and supports your agenda. How has Trump not done it.
I believe Nixon also wanted Cash to do Okie from Miscogie to promote his war agenda and promote the idea that if you thought it was wrong to be forced to go to Nam and get killed or maimed for no good reason you weren't patriotic. God, I hate that song

Penn Gillette once said he never saw Trump show any enjoyment or appreciation for music, not hard to believe.
