June Carter wrote Ring of Fire about going to hell for dumping her husband for this junkie and dragging her family name through the mud.
Ring Of Fire
Written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore
Recorded by Johnny Cash on 3/25/63
Number one - County Chart; Number 17 - Pop Chart
Wow. Thanks for posting those lyrics and stories.
Classic Johnny Cash.
It's kind of funny because for years I thought Cash wrote the song himself about his own drug addiction and was very surprised to find that Carter wrote the lyrics.
Little girl thinks the movie is about her and Mommy. Typical female self-centered point of view.
Get your flame resistant suit on with that comment. ;)
Did anybody see the Tribute to Johnny Cash thing on CBS tonight?
It may be just me but the performances (with a couple of exceptions) really SUCKED and it really just seemed like a commercial for the movie.
I thought she was already divorced when she met Johnny Cash?
Am I incorrect?
Not necessarily.
I saw it tonight and it was great!
