boomer9911 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I'll never forget, 1981, 1am Mountain, in Edmonton, Alberta, the International Airport, ran into Mr. Cash, in the airport terminal as we both had to pass through the same security gate. I was awe struck, and he was dressed in black to the 9's. I said hi as there was only 2 of us and nobody around(he transferred in), and he smiled at me and said hey kid why you up late? I then asked this Legend for an autograph...no problem he says.. I then asked if he had a pen and paper since I didn't have one(lmao), and without a flinch...pulled out a pen and napkin he had and gave it to this kid..... I still have it... A man of class... RIP Mr. Cash, you are a Legend PS djk, sorry to rain on it, but your post could have been titled better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Johnny was likely on his way to or from La Ronge Saskatchewan which he frequently visited to fish for Northern Pike and Lake Trout in Lac La Ronge.He visited frequently and is highly regarded there for his generosity and plain old good manners. I am told that on occasion he gave free performances for the locals and financially supported local charities. He was one of "The good Guys".

edwinr Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 The boy named Sue was a legend. I can see why his estate isn't in agreement with the new lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 "The boy named Sue was a legend." LOL I Am a "Boy Named Lynn"! Trust me on this folks Saddling a kid with a name that is gender wrong IS guaranteed to make a kid a target for abuse/harrasment well into adulthood. FWIW being a male with a female name didn't toughen me....I survived childhood/adolescence in spite of it. I am at a stage in my career where my name is much less important than in the past....but........ I made damned sure when my daughter was born that her name was unmistakingly a female name!
