He was perhaps best described in the words of long time friend, songwriting legend Kris Kristofferson:
'He's a poet, he's a picker, he's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction, partly truth, partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home'.
The real truth about the man that was Johnny Cash is laid bare by Cash himself, in his songs, for everyone to see and regardless of weather or not Kristofferson was actually referring to Cash in these lyrics, they seem to best sum up the legend, the fiction and the truth that was The Man in Black.
