Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends. For The Good Times, It's Over, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Why Me?.....the list goes on and on.

I do believe that had I been able to sit in that room with those four men, I probably would have passed out. I can't even imagine. These guys were (and are) more than legends... these men are national treasures. I met Cash briefly in 1997 at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark Delaware, shook his hand and he signed a photo for me, I was unable to speak! I remember my hand was shaking when I reached out to grab the photo when he handed it back to me. Later that same evening, I also met Willie Nelson. Willie had a fishing hat on that I think someone had thrown onto the stage- I didn't have anything with me for Willie to sign, he says to me and my friend "Do ya'll want an autograph"? And I told him I'd love that but I didn't have anything with me for him to sign- he took that hat off of his head, signed it to me, and smiled when he handed it to me and says "you can tell everyone you got Willie's hat". That hat is still on my wall. My buddy that was with me didn't have anything either, Willie says "someone give me a hat" and someone in his entourage hands Willie a ball cap, and he signed it to my friend. To be as famous as these men, and still take the time out for folks is real class. I met Waylon too at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling, WV in 1994. He signed a picture book for me. I wouldn't sell these items for any amount of money. Sadly, I never have had the opportunity to meet Kris Kristofferson... but I did get his autograph.

Cash and the band did some really crazy stuff when on tour in the late 50's and early 60's. At one time, they bought a dozen of baby chickens and released them on each floor at the hotel they were staying at. Another time, they took a saw and cut off the legs on all the hotel room's furniture so that "the small people could enjoy them". They painted a hotel room completely black and didn't leave anything out - even the windows and furnitures were painted! One of the craziest things I've heard was one time when Cash and the two other bandmembers (Marshall Grant and Luther Perkins) got separate hotel rooms next to each other. So Cash simply took a fire-axe and chopped out a man-sized hole in the wall in between the two rooms, so that he could walk through!

@@SJ-ni6iy Kristofferson was the son of an Army officer, an Army officer and helicopter pilot, himself, as well as a Rhodes scholar. Even while trying to work into show business, he worked as a helicopter pilot in support of the oil industry, which is not a low paying job and includes many benefits. That he took a job at a record company as a janitor is hardly a sign of destitution, but rather a clever means of bringing in money, while having the opportunity of pitching his songs to already established performers and producers. I'm not taking anything away from Kristofferson. He had to pay his dues like virtually everyone else who "makes it," but compare Waylon, Willie, and Johnny and their lives growing up and you will find a stark difference in upbringing.

I have a passion for good country music and if what they wrote wasn't good country music, then nothing is. I have sort of deified them in my mind and so I loved watching this. Watching them be normal, everyday people. Watching Johnny eat that ice cream while June spoke really struck me.
