Anecdote watched: when Johnny Cash was sick and expected to die the first time in the early oughts, there was a musician tribute TV special.

Bobby was piped in from Woodstock. Opens with his back facing us as he faced his group. Bobby turns and says "Johnny,  remember that time we differed back in Nashville, I just want to tell you you were right"
