Welcome to a little slice of Rosanne Cash's world
Rosanne has had to fight off fans of her dad's on social media and elsewhere (in person and print) on what they believe her dad would have though about everything from her music, to politics, to religion etc. Often.
Have met her a few times, seen her many, and have read and heard her mention this phenomenon often. You can see it in real time even now on responses to some of her Twitter posts..
How her dad would be ashamed etc. Such nonsense.
Big fan of both her and her dads..

I can now empathise with Rosanne, as I thought music was, metaphorically speaking, a broad church. To refuse to accept David Bowie, or any other artist, due to difference is a little bit negative to say the very least. I like Johnny because he didn't have the redneck mentality, and accepted music, musicians, people broadly. I also like Bowie too for the same reasons.

As you're a Cash fan, I wondered if you'd seen this upcoming release and might be interested.
" . . Touching on just about every song one would wish for him to play at a concert in 1973, the stacked set list includes choice guest appearances from both his wife June Carter Cash and fellow Sun Records alumnus, Carl Perkins. Opening with the iconic "Big River" through a heavy take on Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" a breezy jaunt through "A Boy Named Sue" to "Hey Porter" to "I Walk The Line" to "Jackson" and "Folsom Prison Blues" it's a wonder at how many downright PURE hits were just...the songs in his set.
Third Man Records, in conjunction with Sony Music and the estate of Johnny Cash are ecstatic to release A Night to Remember. Presented here for the first time ever is the full show multi-track recording of Cash's performance from that spring night of 1973.. . "

Yes. He sang songs of artists one would not connect with him at all. His renditions of One by U2 or Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode for instance are absolutely outstanding. And his take on Hurt by Nine Inch Nails is my absolutely all time favourite "cover." I don't know anything about him and Bowie, but I can't see a reason why he wouldn't feel anything but respect to the younger singer...

the dude commenting about Bowie being a degenerate says more about his ignorance than anything else.....times they are a changing.

I say "Funny thing" but this was amazing.
I post on a Johnny Cash FB Page, as I love Johnny's music. Anyway, the recent Cash reference was to Man In Black, the 1971 folky rock album and title track.
I mentioned that, bearing in mind Cash wrote social protest tunes, was aware of man's inhumanity to man, that he and David Bowie would be aghast at the way the world is now.
One person reacted in a very strange, peculiar way: he said how could I refer to Cash and Bowie in the same sentence, and that Bowie was a "degenerate". Now, I thought music was supposed to transcend all boundaries ? Just thought I'd share, as I thought such attitudes were antediluvian.
