Johnny Cash started a wildfire in a national forest that almost wiped out the California condor. He did it because he was a rich asshole full of whiskey and pills, not because he was in any way, the "outlaw" of his persona.
The fire that started by Johnny Cash’s camper spread across three mountains and destroyed 508 acres of vegetation in Los Padres National Forest. The area was – and still is – a sanctuary for endangered California condors, the largest bird in North America. Before the forest fire, 53 condors were present in the sanctuary; only four remained after the fire.
I don't wanna cancel Johnny Cash, but praise for his music should come with an asterisk.
