are you people stupid? johnny cash is country. rock bands took influence from his style and thats why some people are stupid enough to say he's classical rock

its people who think anyone who listens to country is a red neck hillbilly living in a trailor. Which is not the case. Johnny Cash is country.

Anyone with a brain can quite clearly see he looks nothing like a country singer

Okay, you're an idiot.
What do his style and image not being country, have to do with how "punk" he was on the inside?

You ask me a question and becuase you either don't like my answer or don't understand it, I'm an idiot. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother reading your posts at all.

Earlier in the thread someone said he was classic rock or something like that which I think is by far one of the most isnane things I ever heard. But then I thought that if Johnny Cash wasn't country, then what would he be? And I thought Punk. I thought punk becuase of his image and attitude

Is that clear enough for you? Or should I get an English/Neanderthal dicitonary out?

Wow. Johnny Cash was the first punk. He was way ahead of his time. He's just so nihilistic.

Johnny is himself. Country with an edge.

It's not that I don't understand what you're typing. What you're typing is just so ridiculously stupid that I feel as though I'm misunderstanding. So now, what about his "image" (do I need to get the definition of that word for you?) and "style" (I'd be glad to define that for you as well) is not country?

Well, I always saw Johnny Cash as something of a rebel. I think it's his first album where on the cover he's wearing all black and the look on his face just screamed "do you wanna mess with me"and his whole attitude was no nonsense. He wasn't a guy that messed around with too much and din't take crap from anybody.
And I guess I should tell you that I always saw Punk (and all of it's sub - categories too then) as something revolutionary and always changing.
When Johnny Cash came onto the scene he definitely changed something whether it sounded punk or not.

That's not just punk. That's music in general. So in conclusion Johnny Cash made music.
