In honor of yesterday’s release of the Johnny Cash forever stamp, here are 10 reasons why he deserves it. Prepare to be awed and inspired.
1. He worked his way up from cotton fields at age 5 to a Grammy (his first of many) at age 35.
2. He was a devoted artist, writing 1000+ songs, 60 of which were penned in the last four months of his life.
3. He recognized hardships in others, often playing free shows in jails and wearing his signature black on their behalf.
