History YMMV / JohnnyCash

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Building the Psychobilly Cadillac at the end of ''One Piece at a Time''
** Weirdly enough, his suicide attempt: after a relapse Cash crawled into a cave in Tennessee intending to starve himself. He stayed until he '''felt the spirit of God''' and climbed out.
** In "God's Gonna Cut You Down".
--> [[JesusWasWayCool He]] spoke to me of a voice so sweet
--> I though I heard the shuffle of Angel's feet.
--> He called my name and my heart stood still...
--> When He said 'John, go do My will!"

* [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Funny Moment]]: Again "A Boy Named Sue."
--> "MY NAME IS SUE! HOW DO YOU DO!? ''NOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE!''"
--> "And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him... Bill! Or George! Any damn thing but Sue, I still hate that name!"
** "Chicken in Black": "For two long years my head hurt bad so a doctor checked me and he shook his head. He said I'm sorry to tell you, but your body's outlived your brain."
** His tale of assembling a "custom" automobile in "One Piece at a Time".

** His cover of the Music/NineInchNails song "Hurt," is also usually more recognized than the original, to the point where many books [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer have incorrectly attributed "Hurt" to Cash]] and believe his recording is [[NewerThanTheyThink far older than its 2002 release]]. Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor wrote the song and recorded it in 1994. The confusion is mostly created by wrongheaded journalists who can't believe that [[SmallReferencePools Cash would record a song by an industrial band]], when such covers [[PlayingAgainstType were one of the main features]] of his ''American Recordings'' albums .

* DorkAge: 1971 (the end of ''The Johnny Cash Show'''s run) to 1994 (''American Recordings''). He released some grade A material during this period, but between various religious pursuits on one hand, and occasional relapses into substance abuse on the other, he wasn't always focused on music and the quality of his recordings became more erratic.

** Johnny's cover of Sheryl Crow's Redepmtion Day seems to be the more popular version.

* MomentOfAwesome: Building the Psychobilly Cadillac at the end of ''One Piece at a Time''

* AdaptationDisplacement: Trent Reznor recounts the feeling at hearing Cash's rendition of Hurt as being like losing a girlfriend, since the song now belongs to Johnny Cash.

** Of all people, ''RayStevens'' released "Sunday Morning Coming Down" before Johnny did.

** "A Boy Named Sue" as well, and "God's Gonna Cut You Down" is on the fringe of being one.

* SignatureSong: Arguably it's "Folsom Prison Blues", "Ring Of Fire" or "Hurt".

** Believe it or not, Cash didn't write "Ring of Fire" or "A Boy Named Sue." The latter's true writer may come as a shock to some--it was none other than ShelSilverstein.
