Johnny Cash was Anti-War

Áine on March 25th, 2006 filed in Politics

I just ran across this article from Rolling Stone where Rosanne Cash talks about her father, Johnny Cash…

Compounding the problem was her public opposition to the war in Iraq, which angered many of her father’s admirers. “I got so much hate mail,” Cash says. “Invariably, they would say, ‘Your father’s a real American, and you should go sleep with Sadaam.’” Ironically, Johnny Cash himself was adamantly against the war. “It broke his heart, it really did,” she asserts, claiming that her father was “addicted” to war coverage on CNN during his last months. “We talked about it in every single conversation we had,” she says. “He was almost a Quaker in his pacifism. He thought there was never a reason for war — and he had felt that way, he told me, since the Vietnam War.”

That was Mr. Cash’s only mistake. He was addicted to CNN. Completely bias.

Johnny Cash was a true American Hero. He opposed mindless unnessesary wars like the one in Iraq. It was no mistake that he oppsed the war, and I am glad he was not brain washed by FOX.(Which only simple minded people seem to watch). Johnny Cash was truely a holy man, one who really follows the bible and he was a good all around person. Sure he made mistakes, but we all do. He was peacefull and stood up for average people, not money. He was a true person at heart and will always have a big place in every Americans heart and our history. A true American hero(There are few left)
