Excellent interview. I will definitely be watching tonight.

But about the Nixon story, the scenario described by Mr. Neville is somewhat different than what Johnny Cash told in his autobiography ‘Cash’ from 1997. I’ve read that book over and over again because it’s such an interesting read and insight into Cash’s mind.

In it, he tells the story that Nixon requested him to perform ‘Welfare Cadillac’ and ‘Okie From Muskogee’ and he refused the request for both songs simply because he didn’t know them, nor did has band since they were recorded by different artists. He goes on to say how the media made a big deal about it with headlines like ‘Cash Tells Off Nixon’, when in reality, he just didn’t know the songs and opted to sing tunes he knew.

Ah, do I have the Bio Channel? If I do, I *will* be watching!

Awesome interview, Dan.

I love Johnny and I love the stories about him. That Nixon story is just another testament to Cash’s honorableness.
