My Father and the Man in Black2012

Saul Holiff:
[April 7, 1967] We were in Edmonton and he was on a rampage of pep pills, and he had a Martin, an expensive guitar. And he was in a darkened room, and he hadn't slept for a couple of days, and he's already missed one of the dates. And they're all my dates that I'd set up because nobody wanted to book him. You know, they couldn't trust that he would be there. He took the guitar and smashed it against the wall. I had said things to provoke him. And I guess he just didn't have the nerve to hit me with the guitar so he hit it against the wall and smashed it.

Saul Holiff:
After submitting you to every buyer in the business, I was only able to get four dates. Your professional behaviour is totally reprehensible, showing a complete disregard for everyone around you. [Telegram from Saul Holiff to Johnny Cash; May 6, 1967]
