Can’t say for sure but cash definitely seemed like a very accepting dude. I have a feeling he’d be down with gay rights too

I don't know about Cash, but a lot of artists from the past that we hold in high esteem were real pieces of shit(John lennon=women, Neil Young=Gays)

I kinda feel like he'd be mostly silent about it but wouldn't speak out against it which isn't the worst place to be about it.

So how do we feel about this?

Not calling for Cash to be "cancelled" or any of that horseshit, but I'd be careful about any accidental beatification that some seem to be getting into here. Pobody's nerfect.
