Ring of Fire consumes Johnny Cash’s Home

The Tennessee home of the late Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash burned down earlier this week. Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees purchased the home from heirs of the legendary Cash following his death.

The Hendersonville Star News quoted a fire official as saying the blaze probably started when fumes from a wood preservative used in the renovations were ignited by a spark.

The house was featured in the Grammy-winning video “Hurt,” in which a dying Cash surveyed his wild life. His eldest daughter, Rosanne Cash, eulogized it in the song “House on the Lake” on her latest album “Black Cadillac.”

For some reason I believe Johnny’s ghost set that house ablaze at the thought of a Bee Gee living in it.

    It was weird to have a Bee Gee in the home of Johnny Cash but it is also sad to see the home of Johnny Cash burned to the ground. Think of the songs that were written in that house. It should have been kept in the family or turned into a museum.
