Johnny Cash On The Road

Don Was told this story on his Motor City Hayride show Saturday night past (though I think the show might have been a re-run; which is really beside the point of the story, but we do strive for accuracy here at infection by light) -

He (Don) once asked Johnny Cash what he (Johnny) thought about the rock and roll musicians who would trash hotel rooms, throw televisions out the windows, etc. Cash replied that, during the 50s, when he and his band were on the road, they would look for abandoned farmhouses. Once discovered, they would fill coffee cans with gunpowder, attach a fuse and light, then wait a safe distance away to watch that particular farmhouse explode.

Onward and upward, Mr. Cash.
