Agreed. He was so polite, while also keeping the audience entertained. King of late night. Dave was funny to a point, but also too crude and arrogant. Jay Leno would be second best, imo. Conan is hilarious, but just didn't have what Johnny had in being an entertainer, interviewer, and host. Jimmy Fallon is great at skits, but just not the best host compared to the King or Jay Leno. I didn't like all the fighting and bittnerness between the hosts after Johnny. Dave's bitterness towards Leno, then Conan's bitterness really surprised me as he already had the opportunity of a lifetime that made him a mulitmillionaire.

Maybe, maybe not. His first marriage of 13 yrs ended soon after a hate filled news article reported his wife was black. It was vehemently denied at the time, though, it was recently admitted that she was of mixed race. There's a documentary about his first marriage on Amazon. Also, his first wife published a book of love letters they wrote to each other while he was in the Air Force for 3 years. They married soon after his return and went on to have 4 daughters. He wrote the song I Walk the Line for her.

Johnny Cash has ALWAYS been my favorite Country singer of all time, but, after watching this Johnny Carson interview, I fell in love with June Carter-Cash as well. She's one of the sweetest and most down-to-earth people that there ever was. Johnny and June loved each other so deeply and passionately. I'm getting teared up just thinking about their life together, the ups and downs, the beautiful children they made together, and the wonderful music they gifted us all with. The love Johnny had for June was shown through when he passed away only a few months after June herself passed away, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't live without her. Roseanne Cash, Jonny's daughter, reminds me so much of her father. She is very gifted and talented in her own right, and beautiful as all get out lol. Johnny's love for our country was so palpable that you can feel it instantly in all his music. The All Mighty God was Johnny's first and foremost love. I pray that John and June will be together forever in God's kingdom 🙏.

Inside Danzig's album, Lucifuge, shows Glenn Danzig wearing the cross of Jesus Christ - upside down - with a demon's head in the middle of the cross. Boldly written at the top is part of John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." Glenn Danzig is a hard-core Satanist. To show his utter hatred for Jesus Christ, one of his songs is titled "Snakes of Christ." Now you want to hear the unbelievable? Not only did Johnny Cash record a song on American label produced by Rick Rubin - but on the album he sings a song written by Satanist Glenn Danzig! The name of the song? You guessed it - Thirteen! Here's what Johnny says about this album: "This is what I've always wanted to do, and I was able to do it with Rick. I think I'm more proud of it than anything I've ever done in my life. I don't think I ever worked so well with a producer in my entire career." Johnny Cash

My late husband LOVED Johnny Cash...he knew quality when he heard it, and I became a fan when we married, never looked back🎸

[@Jeff-xn1ew]

Johnny cash was a true artist. Not many singer song writer could capture the moment and put it into a song like him!! His patriotism for the 🇺🇸🇺🇸 and freedom was truly heart felt in his music. 🙏🙏🙏. Thanks to June carter cash for keeping him straight.

He also was an extremely liberal Democrat, so he was a real American not a phony one like today's right wingers.

[@Jeff-bd5yo]

​@@timothyburke6949Extremely liberal? He was a Christian. I would call him a sane Democrat, which is a rapidly dying breed today.

[@djedwards8394]

@@timothyburke6949Actually, nobody, including his kids knew his politics. He was American first before anything, and he also stated on a radio show in 1966 that hippies were “un-American” (which you can look up on KZbin and hear the broadcast), and John’s favorite president was President Nixon, which they became good friends after the decline of Nixon’s song request, “Welfare Cadilllac”

[@Commenting-answering]

@@timothyburke6949Absolutely. He would be appalled by Trump. Thank God Trump has not co-opted any of Cash’s songs.

Johnny Carson. The master of making his guests - and his audience - always feel comfortable, whether by using self deprecating humor, subtle, witty and ever so gentle off color humor, or simple and sincere praise. I love the memory of that man as so many of us older folks do. He tucked us and our parents in and so often gave us all reason to feel optimistic and embrace the coming day, despite politics, wars, threat of nuclear arms, and so much more. I don't see how anyone could match this track record. A man of this caliber is born, not made.

[@sunnywayPS34]

wow you said that so well. you could be a writer

[@usaturnuranus]

@@sunnywayPS34 Thank you!

[@dodgecrockett3474]

usaturnuranus, I agree with almost everything you wrote. Wouldn't you agree that Johnny became progressively better as the years went by? He achieved success through personal ambition. A man of this caliber is made, not born.

[@usaturnuranus]

@@dodgecrockett3474 Thanks for your comment. I would certainly agree that he adapted and honed his craft over time. I suppose that would help to explain why he is often still regarded as pretty much the "gold standard" of talk show hosts. Sure miss that era! Ha, just caught your "made not born" observation...point taken. :)

[@cathynewyork7918]

Johnny Cash had so much class, thanking Carson for inviting him on the show. What a great man. And Carson is a genius the way he draws out the fun from his wonderful guests. And the ending to their song JACKSON is historic!!

I love Johnny Cash, his voice and my dad's voice were very similar. I played a cd I had when my son was little, he heard it and started screaming, "Grandpa!! Grandpa!!" Even after my dad passed, I would listen to Johnny's CDs, it was the closest I got to hear my dad's voice again. R.I.P. Johnny, R.I.P. Daddy.
