Being In Vietnam Changed Him [johnny Cash]

Loss Is The Great Unifier, The Terrible Club To Which We All Eventually Belong.

My Dad [johnny Cash] Went To The [richard] Nixon White House And Refused To Sing "welfare Cadillac" (instead Performing The Anti-war Songs "the Ballad Of Ira Hayes" And "man In Black"). He Protested The Vietnam War, But He Went To Perform For The Troops With Bombs Dropping All Around Him. He Had That Kind Of Genius: A True Artist's Capacity For Holding Two Opposing Thoughts At Once While Being Large Enough To Encompass All Realities.

Like Thornton Wilder Said, Time Is Not A River, But Rather A Landscape That You Step In And Out Of. I've Always Found That True Of Creative Work, And I've Heard So Many Songwriters And Writers In General Say The Same Thing... When You're Going Into The Realms Of Your Self And Trying To Tap Into The Mystery Of This Creative Source, Linear Time Kind Of Falls Away.

I Love Mixing Up My Genres.

I Do Not Believe In Terrorism, Violence, Destruction, Murder, Pre-emption, Or War.
