Johnny Price sings about pot

[weary flake]

Johnny Price sounds a lot like Johnny Cash but
is better because while Cash is pro-drug Price
is anti-drug; his song Marijuana, The Devil Flower:

but consider that Price might actually be Cash
himself, having to sing under a pseudonym to
avoid persecution by pot advocates!

I don't know who he is but he's not half the singer that Johnny Cash is.
Sounds closer to Johnny Sea, although Sea didn't sing off-key.

I don't know who he is either, but he's covering a country song from the
early 1950s which was not exactly the most enlightened era regarding marijuana
in the US. Our local college station has a 78 of that one which is probably
more popular now than when it came out.

I also don't think you can count Johnny Cash as pro-drug, what with having
done songs like "Cocaine Blues."

OTOH, he had several arrests in the mid 60s associated with his addiction to pills, the most famous one when he was caught coming across the border in El Paso with a bunch of amphetamines and tranquilizers.

But, he never did time, just overnight until he was released. I know I
always had the impression, until I read his autobiography, that he must
have done time, all those performances in prisons.

Out of the mouth of babes & SFB comes a lot of gibberish. Johnny Price
was probably a fictitious name - a lot of Cash imitators did it - the
more famous being Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Sea/Seay.

I think the record carries the joke a little further by listing the
writer as R.J. Price to coincide with Cash's birth name which was J.R.
Cash; he didn't change his name to Johnny until many years later.
