Back in the early eighties, when Canada Trust were installing their ATM's they called them Johnny Cash and had cutouts of him at all the locations. They even brought him on tour where I had the pleasure of seeing him in Kitchener. He had all kinds of old film footage playing in the background--absolutely dynamite.

At my local watering hole, there is a sticker on the fridge that says, "Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine". I was sitting at the bar one day, and I heard a non-regular read it out loud. I just looked at him and said, "Mine too."

What's your point, Mike?  A lot of former President's childhood homes are tourist attractions.

One visit, i believe in 1991, we were waiting in line and my dad began to whisper that Johnny Cash was in line behind us.

And there he was. He was dressed all in black, button-down long sleeves and pants in 100+ degree weather. He stood quietly while June and another lady chattered away animatedly.

My father turned around and introduced himself and us. Mr. Cash was very poilte and gentlemanly. He did not say much. He did take the time to shake hands and to ask where we were from. My dad asked how he was doing, and Mr. Cash thanked him and replied, " Just fine." There was a certain... quietness about him. i enjoyed meeting him.

Whenever i listen to the more heartbreaking and tormented of his songs, i think of the quiet man in black in the airport who heard that whistle blowin' but ended up just fine.

I have a weird crush on Johnny Cash. (I came very close to naming my kitten after him but I am probably going to save that dubious honor for one of my future offspring instead.) You are so fortunate to have that memory.

No big deal slaveboy,just picturing the sign in his bedroom.."Bill Clinton Slept Here".....it could turn into a cottage industry.
