question about Johnny Cash [View All]

I was talking to a friend of mine about the news and she and I were talking about how sad it was that Cash had passed away but that he was now with his beloved June..

However my friend informed me that he had been married before (didn't really know that before today) and that she was sure that the woman was an african american and that there had been some controversy over it...and that it was one of many reasons why Cash wasn't so beloved by some of the country music establishment...

Now I know very little about him...but have loved his music...so is this just a rumor?...I am waiting for a biography program to come on tonight in order to learn more about him and to see if my friend is just messing with me...
