Great song, great video.
When Cash died, they had a number of interviews in Rolling Stone, and the director of the video, Mark Romanek, had a story I thought was interesting.
At the end of the shoot, the director was going for a dramatic statement so he told Cash the shoot was about done. He asked him to sit at the end of the table and do anything he wanted...sweep everything to the ground, smash the plates, tip the table...whatever. You can see the moment at the 2:54 point. Johnny simply picked up a wine glass and slowly poured it out.
I don't know why, but the story stuck with me...
