Johnny Cash: Well, I talked to June about those shows, and, uh, just about every show is going to have some work done on it. Uh, I would take out all the cussin' and the "Hells," and the "Damns," and the smart-ass remarks - before I'll ever agree to 'em being re-run.Saul Holiff: M-hm.Johnny Cash: I want to ask you about a special. Do they want a special with me?Saul Holiff: Ah, the letter he wrote simply said, "I've been in discussion with network, to be nameless at the moment, concerning a one-hour Johnny Cash special. I believe it's safe to say that I have an order for a special, subject to the creative theme for the special," um, so whatever he means by that, um, I'm not quite sure.Johnny Cash: There's only one that I would like to do. I'd like to do a LIVE Gospel music special. The Jesus movement is really goin' strong for us. I would like to close with about a 10-minute sermon from Jimmy Snow, with an alter call, these people coming down to the altar, praying and raisin' their hands up, and then have the closing song over that, you know?Saul Holiff: In other words, to put on film an actual uh, um, um, segment of a real, uh...Johnny Cash: A real REVIVAL!Saul Holiff: Revival.Johnny Cash: I went to church yesterday, and the thing I saw in that church, if we could get that on network television, boy it would REALLY be something. Those women and men comin' on their knees, and raisin' their hands up, you know like they do to Jesus, and tears comin' down their face. It could be like a Johnny Cash Gospel Crusade, you know?Saul Holiff: Lemme, lemme try it out on him, and let him go to the network and see if he can create some interest in it.
