Like, the cool kids have been wearing the Johnny Cash flipping the bird t-shirt for decades now. Where has this guy been?

Bob Calhoun @bobcalhoun.bsky.social · 9h

I was thinking this article must be from 1983 when Cash was an aging country star with a cancelled TV show and didn’t realize we were all giving Cash his due since at least 1995.

Watched a Streets of San Francisco from like 1972 and there was an elect Pelosi sign in the background. It was probably for local office but I was 3 years old back then.
