as a musician and being surround by musicians all day every day, I can tell you first hand that 99 out of 100 would say johnny way over merle.

and sure, a few may have jumped on the bandwagon from the movie, but the people that i spend my time around every day have ALWAYS been fans and followers.

Haven't any of you actually studied his life and influence on music and not just based all your opinions from the movie?

Here is one for you--I haven't even seen the movie (with no plans to). But it wasn't hard to pick up the fact that there were a lot of things that were not the truth (it isn't hard to find information in other places that critique the movie)

And what kind of muscians are you talking about--not any of the guys who have made it big today.

Haggard is listed as the inspriation long before anyone else.

Like I said before--explain to me, as a muscian, why Cash isn't overrated . . . I don't want heresay--I want to know why you think (with as many facts as possible) why he isn't overrated. I am not trying to bash--but I am trying to keep an open mind.
