Netflix doco:
TRICKY DICK AND THE MAN IN BLACK
details the lead up and the subsequent meeting and concert at White House in the early 1970s between Nixon and John Cash.
Nixon thought bringing in (using) Cash would help build his own voter base.
Cash played but it wasn't the pro flag waving event Nixon hoped for especially when Cash wrote "what is truth" specifically for the show.
that song was quite poignant and prophetic as not long after Nixon resigned in the murky waters of Watergate.
Rating 3/5 (would have got a four out of five had it dealt less with Cash's early life and more on the event but I guess if you don't know much about JC then it gave you an insight into his way of thinking)
