    I'm reading a book by their son about June,haven't got that far yet.

    True, Cindy..they were only human.

    I haven't read Vivian's book, but I'm glad she got to write it before she died. Hope it gave her some closure.

    Of course the movie glossed over everything and wanted to portray Johnny and June as the great soulmates--and maybe they were--but the fact remains he was a married man with four children, and even if they were meant to be together, there were a lot of people hurt in the process.

    Funny how the Cash girls (raised by Vivian) seemed to fare much better than June's daughters by her two previous marriages. Her younger daughter, Rosey Nix, died in 2003 of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning but supposedly surrounded by drug paraphernalia. Her older daughter, Carlene Carter (don't get me wrong, I love her music) has been married 4 or 5 times, has two kids she didn't raise, (her former husband Nick Lowe adopted her daughter and got custody when he and Carlene divorced.) A few years back, Carlene was arrested on theft and heroin charges with Howie Epstein (former bass player for Tom Petty, who later died of a heroin OD.) Can you say *ahem* trashy?

    OMG.I didn't know any of that about June's daughters. I don't know why I though Johnny's daughter Roseanne was such a druggie and all. Wasn't one of his daughters married to Marty Stuart? Don't know why I thought that either. Anyhow the book I'm reading by JC son is called June Carter Anchored in Love or somthing like that,its been annoying me so far.

    ^^Yeah, you're right, Rosanne did have some cocaine issues way back when. She was married to Rodney Crowell for many years.

    Cindy Cash was married to Marty Stuart.

    OMG, Johnny made that song HIS OWN! Even Trent Reznor admitted it. The video for that (the Cash version) is soooo moving.

    I heard an interview that NPR did with him, which they rebroadcast shortly after he died, and I love this exchange:

    Interviewer: Why do you call yourself a song stylist rather than a singer?

    JC: Because I cain't sing.

    Yes they were human and I do accept that. I'm just so sick of films that have to mislead the audience over what really happened.

    I like directors who take a risk and show the truth of a story and the flaws of the character - that director is doubly clever if he does that and the audience still like the character.

    Vivien's daughters were upset at the way she was portrayed in the film and they have every right to be.

    Vintage Video: Cash Imitates Elvis

    Just found this on CNN, hilarious video of Johnny imitating Elvis onstage in 1959. He and Elvis were friends, so it was good natured kidding.

    Amazing how much he looks like Elvis, himself when he combs his hair in front.

    *we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread already in progress*


    To get this back on topic....does anyone have any pics of either June or Johnny lying in state??

    Lisamarie, I couldn't agree with you more. I think Johnny Cash's video to (Nine Inch Nails) "Hurt" is incredibly powerful. I can't watch it without getting that big knot in my throat and a wee bit misty in the eyes...

    I love Johnny Cash, I grew up with a father that played his music over and over on the record player. I even sang "Ring of Fire" in the 4th grade talent show. I lost out to the popular girls singing Peter, Paul and Mary's "Leaving on a Jet Plane"!! LOL...oh well....

    June was Johnny's rock and when that is taken from you ,you are left without the strength to carry on.What was the name of the video where he walked through his life with the big feast on the table?

    I read that book not long ago and it made me very sick. I came away with the distinct impression that the only kid they favored was John Carter Cash once he came along because he was both of theirs. And he really ended up with nearly everything after they both had passed away. It really got under my skin. I have read here and there that he ran the show on what got in/stayed out of the movie "Walk the Line" and that it really bothered some of the Cash girls.
    I also agree with the fact that Vivian's daughters definitely had the advantage in their upbringing.
    I just came away from that book with a very bad impression of their son's bragging and boasting.

    I got that impresson too! Think thats why its so hard for me to read that frickin book. And its really making me not care much for John and June either.
    It doesn't surprise me that their son got the most and with the Walk the Line movie,Johnny's daughters should have had more say to what went on with that movie,and June's daughters as well I guess.

    ^^Yep. Not only both of theirs, but also, he was the only son. IMO, the six girls pretty much got the shaft.

    You know, I'm not sure what they thought of June, but in everything I've read they have been quoted they were respectful. It really speaks for how their mother raised them, that's for sure.

    Everything I've read they appear to genuinely love her. I think she was a great step mum in many ways but she had her bitchy side. Like when they were out shopping and one of the girls admired a pair of shoes and asked June to buy them for her. And June replied: "Tell your mum to buy them for you."

    I think that's where Vivien was so strong because she didn't appear to stoop low enough to bitch about June to the kids.


    Rosanne Cash on Her Mother:

    She was quite a woman: full of life, with an easy laugh and a deep love for the people around her, particularly her grandchildren. Her doctor told me after her death that there were some patients you just remember all your life, and he said that my mom would be one for him. He said he would never forget her and the intense, territorial love of her family. I don't think he had ever seen so many close relatives—husband, daughters, sister, grandchildren, sons-in-laws, plus a few dear friends and the parish priest—crowd into one woman's room day after day, following every tiny aspect of her care, and finally letting her go with so much overwhelming sadness that the nurses in the unit also broke down in tears.

    Some people don't achieve fame and glory but they leave their impact on the world in other ways - and Vivien certainly seemed to leave a wonderful legacy of love. As well as raising her children properly.

    It would be hard not to want to put June down in front of the girls any chance you got. I don't think I would be that nice. I'd always be slammin the other women.

    Yes let's not forget, Johnny was the big earner out of him and June and June was famous for her love of shopping with his money - I'm sure he looked after Vivien financially after the divorce. But June getting her mitts on his cash and resenting a pair of children's shoes makes me want to heave.

    I will give John Carter that much, he does say quite a bit in his book about how his mother was always buying stuff..and he did mention she got on the prescription drugs for a while too, but he also had the undercurrent running that he was benefiting the entire time. Something else I didn't know I learned from the book....his wife was a bar musician in Nashville (I think) that somehow fanagled her way into playing with June and into his life. Or at least that's just MHO, sorry.
    To prevent sounding so catty....I have also given it more thought and maybe John Carter just had the wrong person editing/co-writing his book. They could at least have had it coming from a different perspective, shown people in a different light.

    It seems that like Elvis, Johnny Cash went through a musical phase that was a little too orchestrated..away from their original rawness.. Rich Reuben did a great job with Johnny Cash's last albums.. Back to his roots.. I would have loved to see what he could have done with Elvis!! Indeed..

    Rosanne Cash actually delivered a very nice eulogy at June's funeral.

    Saw the movie thought it was good. Right after Johnny died the second version of Dawn of the Dead came out. I really liked how they used the song "The Man Comes Around". I liked the orignal DOD beter than the second one though.

    I agree. They were much more animated. However I have seen J and J sing it on TV and baby they had it going on there better than any clip I've seen.

    I Johnny he was the real deal. I saw him perform twice, once with June Carter. My favorite song that they wrote and performed was "I Still Need Someone". Linda Rondstat did a noce cover of it.
    My favorite Johnny Cash song is Folsom Prison Blues performed live at Folsom Prison.
    They just don't make them like the old man in black anymore.
