In contrast to several (not all) contemporary country music stars, but reassuring, nonetheless.

have the right to unfollow her, back in January, but the rest of the quote is apparently fake. Popped up on social media days ago, no news stories about it, no links to any post of her own.

said them since long before AI existed. Especially on the internet. I just think it's unfair to do that. I have no idea who made up that quote, days ago, but since there's no evidence Rosanne Cash said it, I don't think DU should add to the internet myth that she did.

I like the statement in the fake quote and would have been happy if I'd found any evidence she said it - and would have posted that evidence and asked that it be included the OP.

But it's important to distinguish fact from fiction, and as far as I've been able to discover, that quote is fiction.

I suspect I'm not alone. Dishonest individually-created attributions or dishonest AI-CREATED attributions have quite the similar result IMO.

9. Inside The Troubled Marriage Of Johnny Cash And Vivian Liberto

https://allthatsinteresting.com/vivian-cash

Vivian Liberto was Johnny Cash's first wife and had four children with him. But after their divorce in 1967, she was cast as the bitter shrew who held his talents back.

Though his story has become a central part of American cultural lore, the tale of Johnny Cash’s first wife Vivian Cash has been all but written out of his story.

In 1954, Johnny Cash married Vivian Liberto of Texas and they stayed together for 13 years. But during that time, Vivian Liberto Cash suffered both her husband’s infidelity as well as widespread hatred over her racial identity. After their divorce in 1967, Cash married singer June Carter, with whom he had an affair during his marriage to Vivian Cash.

no info about where or when she said this, and absolutely no news stories about it, though that would definitely have made news if it were a real quote from her.

posts repeating it on Facebook, Threads, etc., with no link to news or to her own social media messages with that statement. It's hard to believe there would NOT have been a lot of news stories about that statement. Until I can find some, my best guess is that's a fake quote. Even if it were an old quote, I'd be finding news stories about it.

supporters could unfollow her, but this is how her statement ended then:

(If you still support this administration, there is a way to unfollow me. Please act on your God-given right to do that. And if you think I should ‘shut up and sing’ because I’m ’not relevant’, I will quote @tommorello: I didn’t give up my First Amendment rights when I picked up my guitar.)


That was back in January.

Instagram statement:

Newspaper story on it:
https://www.irishstar.com/culture/entertainment/johnny-cash-daughter-ice-instagram-36646769

I can't find anything to match the quote in the OP, other than social media posts copying other social media posts. I've done lots of keyword searches, and there's absolutely no evidence she ever said or wrote that.

So it looks like this is one more fake quote on the internet, made up by someone with no real respect for her, who just wanted to put their words in her mouth.
