In Videos: Johnny Cash, the Man in a Black Apron
In this excerpt from The Johnny Cash Show, Waylon Jennings muses on an alternative career for his old buddy. If the whole chart-topping recording artist thing hadn't worked out, he could've been a chef.
"He was my cook," Jennings tells the audience. "Can you imagine Johnny Cash in a black suit with bacon fat all the way down it and gravy in his hair?"
This is not to say the Man in Black was a good cook, though Cash claims otherwise in the clip. Jennings often reminisced about Cash's cooking in interviews, noting that "his biscuits weren't that great but I loved when he cooked 'em cause he looked so damn funny with flour all over the place."
