Saul Holiff:
Soon after Jonathan was born, I was in Europe. And just prior to Joshua being born, I was in England. And Johnny was going through his "bad-ass" stage, and we had a booking for one night to fly over to Paris to appear at the Olympia. This was a deal I had worked on for a long time. The French were sort of aware of Johnny Cash. This was going to be a significant thing. But when we gathered together to fly over, he was nowhere to be found. It turned out that he had taken off with Dylan on some mad escapade. I got on a plane, first class if you please, and flew home. And a month later, with the sense that my relationship with Johnny was over, that I had initiated, that I just couldn't stand it anymore, I was the father of two small babies, with a mortgage and no prospects. So I wasn't in any condition to enjoy parenthood at that time. [Original Source: Saul Holiff Audio Diary 1998]
