Johnny Cash:
[Mutiny in Oklahoma] Dear June, By joining the whole cast to do MY show without ME, you are more than even with me for any wrong I've done. If you plan on continuing with this tour, I DEMAND that my name be removed... and I hope you'll be kind enough not to sing our duet with anyone else. I was sincere when I told your father I was going to be the man that you all would be proud of. As for Saul, I am stunned. As for you, I'm hurt worse than you've ever been. For a long time you've been my future and I was yours. It is hard to accept that you would trade this future for a two-week tour. If this is your way of dropping me, you should think about it differently. I won't be unkind about it again, but you will soon see what you have done. John.
