Didn't Cash have some guy who kept the three note strum thing going while John sang his ballads? Then when Elvis came along, Cash had to step up his game?



Cash did the three note strum because that's all his bass player knew.

Elvis didn't teach Johnny Cash a thing except how to mix and take pills. Cash is in the Rock and Roll and Country Music Halls of Fame (as is Elvis), and Cash never lost his dignity getting there. What kind of loser dies sitting on the shitter? Elvis sucked, and sucked hard for the last 15 yrs of his life. Cash totally kicked ass the last 10 years of his life... like a bird on a wire.
