I came back to the world about 3 days after Mr. Cash sang this on his show. Of course I never heard it back then. This is the first time I have listened to it.

Elvis had a better singing voice, true, but he was all about showing off and acting cool. He didn’t write hardly any of the songs he sung, whereas Johnny wrote the songs that made him famous, which is why he’s in the Rock ‘N Roll, Country Music, and songwriters Hall of Fame’s. Elvis didn’t even play an instrument most of the time, especially after he got fat.

That sure was a controversial appearance. I think that was one of the last shows they did (maybe ABC made the song a reason for cancelling the J.C. Show), but I think there was no other way to express an opinion about Vietnam war than this. Absolute class.
