Did Johnny Cash have Street Cred’?

Elvis was a pop star, and was scene a lot more on TV.  Johnny Cash was a country star and stayed in that circuit.  Rednecks are a lot more lenient when it comes to murder, prison and infidelity apparently.

I am a musicologist and teach in the Bluegrass Program at East TN State University in Johnson City, TN.I am also potterfan's dad. I would like to answer this as an oldtime blues and rockabilly fan.Who could pick for sure, and both of these gentlemen had such an enfluence on rock and pop music, in their own right. Little Richard was one of the pioneers who started it all, but he was only using a format of a more older and archaic style of blues, which he probably was quite familiar with. Jerry Lee Lewis was born and raised in a southern area where both black and white musical influences were prevalent on each other. The blues was the common denominator for both artists,and when you boil it all down, their music was great fun for everyone.

Only Robert Johnson and the devil know for sure. His friend Willy Brown said the story was true, but who knows for sure.\n\nYou search for both of their names together and you'll find some great old stories, like this one:\n\nhttp://www.cr.nps.gov/delta/blues/people/robert_johnson.htm\n\nHowever, his telling of the event in "Crossroad Blues" can only leave you wondering where the influence for the song came from.

•Peter Eckhorn offered Ringo £30 a week to go back to Germany and play with Tony Sheridan and an apartment. Ringo eventually joins Rory Storm. John called him at Butlin's to offer £25 a week as a Beatle.\n\n•Ringo had 400,000 shares of Northern Songs, Ltd. in 1969 worth £80,000.\n\n•When ATV bought a majority stake in Northern Songs in 1969, Ringo got shot of his holding for £80,000 but otherwise he didn't have much more money than sense because "if I think I'm being conned I do without". He also said at this time that he had "more money than I'd ever dreamed of" (Clayson and Sunday Post '69).\n\n•Ringo sold Brookfields (property) for £100,000 to Stephen Stills\n\nthats the best i can find. sorry

Yes, but it was in Monopoly money. He was a foolish male prostitute named Irving.

He has a brass neck implies that he's full of cheek; really sure of himself. \nThere is a story about a highwayman who was 'strung up' - hoisted by the neck, rather than being dropped through a scaffold, the difference being that one would choke rather than die by broken neck. Anyway, this particular highwayman, before being strung up, managed to swallow a brass tube with a bit of wire on top. This lodged in his windpipe, and when he was strung up, his windpipe didn't get crushed and he was still able to breathe. All he had to do was wait for the crowd to disperse, and his accomplice cut him down and removed the tube. This would certainly fit in with the idea of someone having a 'brass neck' and being very sure of themselves"

I went to Harpeth Hall with Reese Witherspoon in Nashville, TN. I'm bestfriends with her brother John(we call him Spoon) and his wife Jenny(who went to Hillsboro High in Nashville). I also know Shelton Williams(Hank, Jr. III). He went to Franklin High School in Frankin, TN. He is in the 1990 yearbook fighting with Rob Galbreath. No one won because the cops came. My great uncle, Gorden Stoker, was a back up singer for Elvis(the Jordanaires). I have plenty of pictures. I am also related to Amy Grant. She is my cousin by marriage. My mom grew up next door to the Grant's in Nashville and we still see Dr. and Mrs. Grant in Destin,Fl where they have a condo(have pics of our families together). I also know Keith Urban.My good friend Lou, use to live with him when he first came to Nashville and wasn't too famous. I have pictures of us partying at Tootsie's, in downtown Nashville,for Lou's birthday in October of 2003. I know more,but I'm tired of typing. It pays to grow up in Nashville!!

When he was with the Police he was big....then his music was popular in fits & starts. He isn't so big now with his new stuff....the mass market doesn't seem to get it.

I own the DVD and absolutely love it.\nIt was filmed in his home with wife, June.\nThe flashback sequences can be found in the newly remastered DVD "Johnny Cash: The man, his world, his music". It's an early documentary that was produced under his supervision. In it he goes back to his birth place. In the film "Hurt" the old house that he is looking into was the first home that he and June had together.

I think its because he has money.  I think if a guy off the street would do this, he would've been sitting in jail a LONG time ago.  Think about it .. it was FILMED!  \n\nI would hate to be him.

money, money, money, money, money. It's all driven by money. The gangster image is a front. They may have been punks (sorry, gangster) before they started rapping, but they certainly need the image to be successful.
