My Record Label Is Treating

Being In Vietnam Changed Him [johnny Cash] Fundamentally. He Was Devastated When We Went Into Iraq.

I Was Sensitive To Music And Poetry, And It Was Around Me Growing Up.

I Was Down With Lucinda Williams And Mary Chapin-carpenter. We Did An Acoustic Tour, Just The Three Of Us, Three Chicks And Three Guitars

I Gave Up Language For A While, And I Started Painting.and Then I Only Listened To Miles Davis And Other Instrumental Music To See How It Felt To Be Without Words.

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.
