	11:27am earnest reply: Has Johnny Cash ever really spent time in prison besides a holding cell for a night or two?
	11:27am earnest reply: Has Johnny Cash ever really spent time in prison besides a holding cell for a night or two?
	11:27am ChrisB.: Jon Brion 's "Meaningless" is an overlooked and underappreciated gem.
	11:27am Silvia: Los Archiduques are from Asturias, a region famous for their bagpipes, so their version is still popular in clubs.
	11:29am Brian in UK: Jon Brion is No.1 & one man Yo La Tengo.
	11:31am Jay/London: Hi Michael and all just checking in
	11:31am ~L: The book says, Cash spent seven single nights in jail, but served no prison sentence.
	11:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Glenn Jones played some Johnny Cash after Johnny died. www.wfmu.org...

	11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Benjamen Walker had some Johnny Cash material on some recent shows. The link has part 1 and it has a link to part 2. www.wfmu.org...
	11:54am Nate: Thanks @Ken. I find all of this very fascinating
	12:02pm Mike East: I heard some of that Ken, but I missed the 2nd part. Thanks.
	12:02pm david from ks: wuttsa pony keg?
	12:03pm Moammar: Smallish keg of beer. I know them well.
	12:04pm Mike East: Some friends of mine, The Atomic Missiles, had a song, "Johnny Cash Died of a Broken Heart"
	12:05pm david from ks: thanx Mr.M.
	12:08pm MD: Check out the Louvin Brothers book....Charley makes a great point...."When June died...we all knew John was not going to be around much longer..." A GREAT BOOk...it's called SATAN IS REAL....
	12:08pm ~L: Another great interview!
	12:11pm Jay/London: @ david From Ks a pony keg is a half size beer keg it holds about 7.5 US gallons hope that helps
	12:13pm hamburger: oddest lyrics from johnny cash ever heard! ex-wife died from stretch marks?!
	12:14pm fred: There are less glamorous sides to not being able to cry. I know, side-effect from surgery years ago. No contacts for me, and cops tend to stop and search me because my eyes get red. Nothing to write a great song about though, better write the legend
	12:14pm mrmucho: Mike, seriously you didn't know JC was a deeply religious man? Or was it something you'd just rather ignore?
	12:16pm Silvia: @ Brian in UK, Yes I know!! I'm from Gijon, Asturias.
	12:17pm fred: @mrmucho: maybe this has to do with how "deeply religious" has come to mean something JC didn't practice
	12:17pm david from ks: @Jay from London : 7.5 US gallons of ale might help!
	12:18pm drr: Is this maybe the only Apples In Stereo song that is memorable? Cause it really is, but I can't think of another thing they did.
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: Mr Mucho - what is your real first & last name?
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: DRR - I think they have a nice handful of #1 hits "Seems So' & "What's The" are great
	12:22pm fred: @Michael Shelley: what do his names have to do with anything exactly?
	12:22pm david from ks: Thats it! Im goin to the liquor store and be all toasted by sunset!
	12:29pm mrmucho: Mike nice dodge but my question still stands
	12:29pm Mike East: you've got lucie dancin' this mornin' Michael!
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: Mr. you're rude and confrontational. Leave me alone. Please stop commenting on my show.
	12:31pm drr: Oh yeah, "Seems So", as soon as you say the title it comes right back.
	12:34pm seang: The Cavedogs have a great song called, "Leave Me Alone".
	12:35pm mrmucho: Jeez so much for the Friendship Society
	12:35pm fred: @mrmucho: To clarify: I don't think JC was big about judging others, which many "deeply religious" people tend to do. I think part of his religious feelings were a sense of empathy with the judged, not the judges. @Michael Shelley: aren't you overreacting a bit there? Did you delete a comment? That would explain it
	12:37pm mrmucho: If Mike doesn't want me to comment on his show, I won't. I will still be listening!
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: I didnt delete anything - I'm doing a show - Mr. takes advantage of his anonymity to be a rude bully - I'm just tired of it - a message board is no place to have a serious discussion on religion - especially not while doing a show - Mr is not constructive.
	12:38pm Michael Shelley: Thanks Mr.
	12:41pm hamburger: oof religion + politics.... biggest party poopers eva!
	12:44pm Cory: true that, I come here for music
	12:46pm MD: Mike...thanks for the great interview and show! Hey Hamburger...your profile photos are makin' me hungry! THANKS...IT's ALMOST LUNCH...!!!
	12:47pm fred: Heard loud and clear Mr Shelley.
	12:52pm Cory: Oh and back to Johnny's second American album, for me the signature tune was his cover of Rusty Cage.
	12:54pm Dave in Woodbridge: Message board discussion is starting to remind me of Johnny's "The One On the Right (Is On the Left)."
	12:57pm mark in toronto: @hamburger: sorry i'm late to the discussion, but "the man who couldn't cry" is a cover of a Louden Wainwright song. Johnny's just singing it, he didn't write it.
