It may have come from his childhood and seeing that it was easy to turn bad if you had a difficult early life. A lot of celebrities claim to have had a poor upbringing, but Johnny's was genuinely tough.
Yeah, being pretty much ignorant of Cash I definitely bow to your assumed expertise, so I may have just read wrong. I definitely read about some brush with the law though, I can't be imagining that.
