Just adorable. Of course, Johnny and June Carter Cash are an iconic country couple, and have inspired generations with their endearing relationship and timeless love story. The two first met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in 1956, but were both married to different people at the time. Eventually, over 10 years later, they would marry in 1968, and remained together until June passed away May of 2003. Johnny passed away not long after, in September of 2003. Their love story is well-documented, of course I’m sure we’ve all seen the movie Walk The Line and maybe you’ve read Johnny’s now-famous love letter to June, in which he writes to her that his love for her is still “hotter than a pepper sprout”: “Hey June, That’s really nice June. You’ve got a way with words and a way with me as well. The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don’t go out there and sing anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout. Love, John.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Johnny Cash (@johnnycash) Johnny also delivered the following iconic line about his love for June, which I’m sure we’ve all heard before too: “This morning, with her, having coffee.” Their deep love and admiration has captivated fans for generations, though they certainly had a ton of humor in their relationship as well, which was on full display during an appearance on the The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1980. Johnny appeared alongside June for the interview, though she did most of the talking. She explained how they had both worked with Elvis long before they met each other, and she first heard Johnny’s music because Elvis would play “Cry, Cry, Cry” and tune his guitar to it all the time. As aforementioned, they eventually met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, and Johnny proposed to June on February 22nd, 1968, during a live concert in London, Ontario, Canada, in front of an audience of 7,000 people. After they finished their duet of “Jackson,” he stopped the show, looked at her, and said, “Will you marry me?” But June’s recounting of the story on the Johnny Carson show is so great… She recalled telling him to “shut up” after asking that, and explained she didn’t know what to say. Eventually, she said yes, just so they could move on with the show: “Johnny Cash straightened himself up really, and he proposed to me on the stage, in front of about 7,000 people in London, Ontario, Canada. A lot of witnesses, it scared me to death. I kept saying, ‘Shut up.’ And my mother was there, my sisters, the Statler Brothers, and they kept laughing at me and I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t know what to say. And he just stood there and looked at me and grinned until I said something. I said yes.” I bet you’ve never heard that part of the Johnny and June love story… just classic. To be fair, for many years, Johnny had not been on the “straight and narrow” path, so to speak, and June also talks about how her mother wasn’t his biggest fan in the beginning of their relationship because of that, and understandably so. Eventually, Johnny went to rehab, kicked his drug habit for good and became a devout Christian, and it’s in many thanks to June and her unwavering love and support. I also can’t blame her for being a little nervous at first (or maybe even thinking it was a joke)… Johnny’s reputation preceded him back then, and she was the driving force in him getting his act together for good. The full interview is fantastic, and June is just an incredible storyteller and incredibly funny and endearing. You can watch the full segment below, and I’d highly recommend it: The post June Carter Actually Told Johnny Cash To “Shut Up” When He Proposed To Her Onstage In Canada In 1968: “It Scared Me To Death” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

New music coming soon. As one of the best and brightest stars flying out of Oklahoma in the red dirt scene, it’s hard to point to a more important artist in the genre right now than Wyatt Flores. After breaking out back in 2023 thanks to the continued success of his 2022 platinum single, “Please Don’t Go,” and other viral hits such as “Losing Sleep” and “Break My Bones,” the 24-year-old singer/songwriter stunned everyone upon the release of his debut album, Welcome To The Plains, last October. The record, which instantly transported you to Flores’ home in Oklahoma, proved to be one of the best releases of the year. Not only did it build upon the patented Red Dirt-inspired sound that he has been curating throughout his career, but it also contained some of the best songwriting moments of the year on stellar tracks such as the heartbreaking “Oh Susannah,” the brooding “Stillwater” and the morbid yet hilarious “When I Die.” With all of that being said, many (myself included) have been patiently waiting for new music from the “Milwaukee” singer throughout the year — and it looks like he’s got some new tunes ready to be recorded soon. Taking to social media today, Flores would tease a new song he’s been playing live overseas while opening up for 49 Winchester on their Welcome To The Holler Tour the past month. Adressing the fact that he hasn’t released any original music yet this year, Flores would tell the unspecified crowd in the video that he’s heard the calls for new music and noted that he’s waiting to wrap up touring for the year before recording new songs. “I do got some new songs. I haven’t even sang these back in the States. We’ve been having fun trying them out here for y’all. I haven’t released music in over a year now. And now everyone’s starting to be like, ‘You got anything?’ And this is just proof that I do. I just gotta get off tour, so I can go record this sh*t.” He’d then proceed to share the chorus to the new track, titled “Way I Do,” and it’s another standout. If there’s one thing that’s certain about Flores and his writing style, it’s that he’s not afraid to go to uncomfortable places. Being a champion of mental health and very public about his struggles, there’s always been a tangible amount of empathy in his music. That remains the same here. Though we only get the chorus in the teaser, it’s clear that Flores is centering the song around loving a person who’s struggling mentally and desperately trying to make them love themselves the way he loves them. “I know your heart is breaking There’s nothing left to lose I promise you can make it Hell, I’m your living proof If you loved you the way I do You wouldn’t be such a damn recluse Up all night in your room Wishing you were somewhere new In a place far away Where nobody knows your name And disappear, but I don’t want you to Wish you loved you the way I do” As of now, “Way I Do” does not have a release date.

Fiat currencies are meant to fail. They're debt.Under Biden, many on one side claimed the economy was great when it obviously wasn't. Now the other side of the paradigm is doing the same.Though called blackpilled and "negative" for pointing out economic facts regarding tariffs, even Trump is saying that his 100% tariffs on China are not sustainable as he also gives car manufacturers a tariff break. The effects of market manipulation obviously hurt consumers and employers.Interestingly, just a few months ago, we were attacked for pointing out these tariffs were unsustainable. We guess people only listen when Trump says things 5 months too late.The economy was built to fail and next we will be forced into a digital technocracy as a so-called "solution."Meanwhile, many see this imminent collapse coming and are running to gold and silver. The problem? While obviously gold and silver are wealth insurance and necessary to avoid the effects of a dollar collapse, so many people are buying it that there are shortages.As both gold and silver hit all time highs, India's largest metals refinery just ran out of silver for thr first time in history.Something massive is happening.This isn't the top of the market as some claim. It's wealth insurance, not an investment. One shouldn't be betting on metals like they're a stock. The question one should ask is, "how low can the dollar go?"The answers is, there's no limit on how low a failing currency can go.Stay tuned for more from WAM!Get Your SUPER-SUPPLIMENTS HERE:https://vni.life/wam Use Code WAM15 & Save 15%!Life changing formulas you can't find anywhere else!GET HEIRLOOM SEEDS & NON GMO SURVIVAL FOOD HERE:https://heavensharvest.com/ USE Code WAM to save 5% plus free shipping!Get local, healthy, pasture raised meat delivered to your door here:https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life/bonus15?oid=6&affid=321 USE THE LINK & get 20% off for life and $15 off your first box!DITCH YOUR DOCTOR!https://www.livelongerformula.com/wam Get a natural health practitioner and work with Christian Yordanov!

We apologize in advance for what you’re about to see.

Formed by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham, Led Zeppelin had a relatively short career but changed the course of music. Their albums were crucial to the evolution of Hard Rock, while also showing their Blues and Folk roots. They have sold an estimated amount of more than 300 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Although Robert Plant was part of every album the band released and served as the main songwriter alongside Jimmy Page, he didn’t like all of them. He even once named what he considered to be the last good album Led Zeppelin made. The Led Zeppelin album Robert Plant said was the last good one To Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin's final really good album was "Physical Graffitti", released in 1975. The musician said that when promoting his fourth solo record "Now & Zen" in 1988. "All I wanna do is make good records. I just think I've made the best one since 'Physical Graffitti' (1975) and that was the last good record I made, really. So everything in between has been ok. That's a sweeping statement but it's what I believe." Then the interviewer said he thought 'Presence' (1976) was good too and Robert says: "It had its moments. It was a wheelchair album (Plant was recovering from an accident at the time). I was in a wheelchair all the time, tough that was. You could hear it in the voice. 'Presence' was a real difficult record," Robert Plant told NCTV in 1988 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). In the same conversation he was asked which was his favorite Led Zeppelin song. Joking, he said "Hot Dog" from 1979's "In Through the Out Door". But then corrected saying that it wasn't his favorite one but also didn't reveal which was the one he liked the most. In that same year, Plant told Rolling Stone that Physical Graffiti was his favorite album by the band. "Physical Graffiti. Strong stuff. And it sounded good too. It sounded very tough, but it was also restrained, exhibiting a certain amount of control as well," he said. Plant wishes Led Zeppelin were best known for "Kashmir" rather than "Stairway to Heaven" Over the years Robert Plant made clear that he was a bit tired of the success of "Stairway To Heaven", a song that has been overplayed on the radio. The singer said he wished they were more remembered by tracks like "Kashmir", which were part of his favorite record. “I wish we were remembered for Kashmir more than Stairway To Heaven,” he told Mick Wall. He considers that track to be an amazing achievement by the band. "It grew and grew until everything made sense. All of it, the weave of the whole thing was something. I can hear it now and keep walking, but sometimes I hear it and I just sit down and listen. 'Kashmir', it is what it is. It’s just such an achievement – and it is an achievement even now, all these years later. I think it was the personalities of us that made us say, ‘This is it,’ because it’s just enough, and for people, maybe later, it was too much." "But on the record, there were moments where it was like, 'Let’s get on with this. Let’s make something that’s going to hit you between the ears.' I’ve got the book at home [with the original lyrics]. It’s got the sticker, magenta on white, of the Zeppelin IV logos. It’s stuck across a notepad with all sorts of meanderings. ‘Driving through Kashmir’. Oh, fancy that. For me, if I’m inspired, I can bring something forward. It’s not 'Blood On The Tracks' (By Bob Dylan), it doesn’t have the same intense, mature overview. This was still before the big crash. Time, joy, camaraderie were all perfectly, beautifully intact," he told UNCUT magazine in 2025. Plant said "Kashmir" is probably his favorite Zeppelin song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww9484EM2OQ&list=RDww9484EM2OQ&start_radio=1&pp=ygUUa2FzaG1pciBsZWQgemVwcGVsaW6gBwE%3D When talking about "Kashmir" with Dan Rather in 2018, Plant was asked if that song was his favorite one by the band. He said: "Yeah, I think it probably (is). It was a great achievement to take such a monstrously dramatic musical piece and find a lyric that was ambiguous enough and a delivery that was not overpumped. It was almost like the antithesis of the music. This kind of lyric and this vocal delivery that was just about enough to get in there," he told Dan Rather (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). But during the same conversation he noted that his opinion changes everyday and his answer could be different in the future. Like Plant, all the other surviving members of the band like that album and think it is some of their greatest work. It was Led Zeppelin's sixth album but they would still release "Presence" (1976) and "In Through the Out Door" (1979). Two years after John Bonham's death, when the band had already come to an end, the compilation album "Coda" (1982) was released with previous unreleased tracks.The post The Led Zeppelin album Robert Plant said was the last good one appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
