My Father and the Man in Black Quote
Johnny Cash: Saul, It's hell to realize that today is October 21st, 1967 and that my divorce was officially final yesterday. It was a dream comin' true that June made me hang onto for FIVE years. She's 37, and I'm almost 36. I dropped a terrible marriage, 4 sweet kids, and half my estate-thinkin' June was planning to marry me. Just yesterday she made a definitive statement-she wants to stop our life together just as it starts. I already said I'm goin' into hospital for as long as I can after this tour. But she's plannin' to ditch me next month. I've promised till I'm blue in the face that I'll act right in California. But she says she can't believe me. She knows its betrayal, but she piles up reasons for cutting our relationship off. My manhood has been insulted and debased. Now I retaliate. Sorry to put this load on you Saul, but unless there is an immediate admissal of betrayal, and an apology to me as a good man, she can't be on my show. This will definitely test June's intentions, her kindness, her goodness, as well as make her open up her heart to me, and show me whether or not she'll leave with these lies following. John.

Saul Holiff: You missed $40,000 worth of dates in one year! If you continue like this, it will lead to disaster. Your solution is to cut back my commissions. I am willing to do that... but I want your cooperation in cutting your OWN expenses, and in missing NO MORE DATES. [Original Source: Letter from Saul Holiff to Johnny Cash; October 31, 1967]
