| Elvis and June Carter Cash - Johnny Cash jealous!: Scheduled for republication in the US by the Thomas Nelson group on 3 June, is the biography: "Anchored In Love: An Intimate Portrait of June Carter Cash". Written by John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny and June Carter Cash, the biography includes a very interesting story about the relationship between Elvis and June: Throughout my life, I would see Mom get a mischievous twinkle in her eye whenever she mentioned Elvis Presley. Her eyes would flash merrily, and she would say, "you know, son, your father was always jealous of Elvis." She even told me once that she sometimes wondered what would havew happened if she had fallen in love with Elvis. Mom and Elvis occasionally toured together, along with other performers, sometimes including Mother Maybelline and one or more of June's sisters. The Carter's were friends of Elvis, and there are stories about Mother Maybelline sewing buttons on Elvis' shirts when they popped off during his wild onstage gyrations. Though Mom always maintained that she never had an affair with Elvis, Carl [her first husband] believed differently and perhaps for good reason. After Carl moved out of their Madison home, Mom would sometimes let Elvis stay at the house to "rest" after a tour. (News, Source: EIN) | |

| I love the whole Johnny and June story and would love to read about their meetings with Elvis and what they all got up to in those days. Walk the Line is one of my fav films but I was a lil let down (1) with who played Elvis - Johnny Cash is not supposed to be nicer looking that Elvis and (2) with the fact that they didnt show more of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Louis etc. Would be a great story to tell about what happened when they were all on the same bill etc. Dont know if anything like this is out already but Id be very interested in it if it was | |
