HCB send over the following facts (or maybe trivia) about the late lamented Johnny Cash…
Fact 1 Johnny Cash was the first American to learn of Stalin's death. As an expert Morse code operator in the air force during WWII, Cash was at the keys when he intercepted a message that Stalin had died.Source: BBC Radio, World Service.

Fact 2 One of the most criminal myth-making episodes on record concerns the 'live' recording of Johnny Cash's song "Folsom Prison Blues." When he sings "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" the room full of real prisoners, and some real murderers, was dead silent. To create excitement, Sony added cheers of delight as the line was delivered. The source is Michael Streissguth’s book "Johnny Cash at Folsome Prison."

It was actually the Korean War - Stalin died in 1953 while Johnny Cash was stationed in Germany.
Weird juxtaposition, though.
