AMAZING!| FIRST TIME HEARING Johnny Cash - Man In Black REACTION

[@minxiv7]

Y’all should do the Johnny Cash film “Walk the Line” on your next movie day ❤

[@tomhirons7475]

i agree

[@LoneW0lfe]

Yes!

[@carson9359]

Absolutely!

[@carlastanley1138]

Agree whole heartily. 😊

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.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

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.

[@sarahdee374]

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.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

(sigh) Human nature just doesn't seem to evolve, does it.

[@sweetwilly]

History always repeats.

[@bobcorbin3294]

, filmed just right down the road from where I live at the Ryman Auditorium.

[@andymageen5308]

Unfortunately we are still the same species, and our species still has some bad characteristics ✌️

[@DixonsCider]

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.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

Whether you're a country fan or not, Johnny was a truly iconic working man's hero! He never lost his humility or humanity throughout his entire life & career.

[@DixonsCider]

Unlike the fakers such as Springsteen etc.

[@Barefoot433]

@@DixonsCider Great example of the opposing poser.

[@Traveler-po3oe]

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

[@dougallen8305]

I grew up on Johnny Cash. The meaning of this song is special. For all the good and bad of the man, but who amongst us can't say the same of our own lives, he sang from his heart.

[@MaybeRelative]

"Maybe I can carry off a little darkness on my back..." -The Man in black

[@vladyvhv9579]

"carry off", as in "take away". Not just help shoulder the burden, but help to remove some of the darkness of the world. I believe he achieved that.

[@MaybeRelative]

@@vladyvhv9579 Thank you… and corrected. I’ll never do it again.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday And tell the world that everything's ok But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back 'Til things are brighter, I'm the man in black." 'nuff said.

[@bethstubb5544]

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.

[@BirchLeafPhotography]

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.

[@ChuckDrennen]

Johnny was always grateful for what he had and in the end he realized it was all gone.

[@erics9754]

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!!

[@jeffreyflint6286]

One of the legendary classic country and rock a billy stars! One of the nicest guys you'd ever meet! Man I miss him!👍👍❤🇺🇸

[@thewindle]

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

[@DixonsCider]

Fucking oath. I also know it really hurt him that he couldn't save that one prisoner he befriended, that he just couldn't save the guy.

[@johnhegarty1761]

It's San Quentin.

[@jussinamortl6832]

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.

[@DixonsCider]

And THAT is why cash was a star.

[@thomasmcintosh390]

I cannot exaggerate the impact Johnny Cash made on my life. Johnny was a folk singer who found a home in country. Respect.

[@violettompkins206]

I love Johnny Cash, he's always been my hero. When I was a little girl my daddy would holler Marie the Johnny Cash Show is on! I'd come running into the living room and plop down in front of the TV. 😁✌❤🎶

[@wild62meg47]

So glad you did this song. Johnny Cash was so humble to sing it he just wrote and hadn't even memorized yet. One line, "Each week we lose 100 fine young men" = Vietnam War. Love you guys....

[@Hexon66]

"Another 100,000 who have died believing that we all were on their side" = Vietnamese... and all the rest.

[@p.j.morris]

All my clothes are black as well. Not because of Johnny i just love the color black. Johnny Cash is my hubby's hero. We go to his grave once a month nothing is more humbling than standing in the presence of greatness. Awesome reaction love to you both from Memphis Tn.

[@johnreed9415]

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

[@josephbrown6906]

Such a great song. I highly recommend "I Still Miss Someone" and "Flesh and Blood" by him. I also recommend Doug Stone "Better Off in a Pine Box", "In a Different Light", "More Love", and "Little Houses" and Dave Matthews Band "Two Step", "Crash into Me", and "Where Are You Going" and Keith Whitley "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" and "Miami, My Amy".

[@Barefoot433]

That's quite a string having little to do with Johnny. But I'll take Crush over Crash any day of the week.

[@BOMBS-not-FOOD]

"i still miss someone" is my favorite cash song. that song hits me in the feels every time i hear it.

[@restionSerpentine]

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

[@matzrat5006]

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

[@paulboudreau3754]

This one makes me weepy every time.

[@joiedevivre2005]

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.

[@waltw4537]

A real man. Amen. Understanding and compassion. Viet Nam. Great reaction, guys. Thank you.

[@jeffking4269]

The original punk rock star!

[@tomhirons7475]

No

[@justinatest9456]

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.

[@Guildofarcanelore]

My mom was a huge Johnny Cash fan! It was one of the few concerts she actually saw in the 50’s!

[@missblondie2393]

Same with my Dad Only concert he went to back in the 1970s

[@michaelmichael1001]

And in his last video "Hurt" he still wore black.

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.

[@smd2169]

This is the one that sets him apart as a writer/thinker.

[@theworldofron2712]

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

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

If you want to hear a happier side of Mr Cash…if you haven’t reacted to the song Jackson yet…….it’s a duet with his wife June Carter

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 ✌🏻

[@thomastreece6773]

I can’t believe the Rob Squad just now got to “The Man in Black. The lyrics are authentic, the voice is true, and the man carries a gravitas that is rare in any era. Thanks! We want more Johnny Cash! ❤

[@michaelcoffey1991]

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

[@johnforsyth7987]

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.

[@Teresia12]

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.

[@SJ-GodofGnomes21]

I keep saying it, time and time again! Walk The Line the film is absolutely perfect for your channel that and Cadillac Records!

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.❤❤❤❤❤❤
