On: Where Johnny Cash came from

My father had a similar childhood. Grew up in a 3 bedroom cabin that his father built, shared a bedroom with his 3 brothers, and spent a lot of his childhood running around the woods with a rifle and trapping animals to sell furs. Despite having a very successful career, he refers to this time in his life as 'when we were wealthy'.

You're not kidding. Not even a billionaire's kids today could run around the woods with rifles and do the same.

They absolutely could, and still do in Appalachia. The real world still exists, you just have to look a little harder...
