Tricky Dick and the Man in Black

I just watched this one-hour Netflix documentary, about how Richard Nixon accidentally made Johnny Cash "sing of the times" (that's this week's fight title). And did he ever! Stay with it, even if (or maybe especially if) you have an aversion to Johnny Cash. You'll be rewarded not only with insight into this remarkable man, but also with his live performance, in front of Nixon, of the incendiary "What Is Truth."
Until today I did not know this song existed, and I don't understand why it isn't more widely heard. Even today, it's perfect for anyone who wants to sing of the times.
