This book honors Cash by examining the many philosophical issues and concepts within his music. From the gender confusion of A Boy Named Sue to the ethics of "shooting a man just to watch him die, philosophers who are fans of Johnny Cash explore the meaning and continuing importance of his work and legacy.
