This book is filled with tons of little tidbits of information about the musician that I had never heard before!  His gospel music background, the struggle getting into the music business, the fact that he'd been married (and divorced) before he married June Carter, his almost life-long struggles with drug addiction.  I'd always just listened to his fantastic music - evidently tuning out all the bad soundbites.For several years in the 80s I had lived in Casitas Springs, in Ventura County, California - - where he'd lived with his first wife.  Everyone in town was very proud to point out the house where Johnny cash had lived, like it was some sort of monument.  It's kind of refreshing to hear that real humans lived there.Thanks for the insight!
