Country Music Feuds – Johnny Cash vs. the Grand Ole Opry

Johnny Cash is one of very few artists to be banned from the Grand Ole Opry. He earned his banishment after smashing the floor lights out with a microphone in 1965.

“I don’t know how bad they wanted me in the first place,”he says, “but the night I broke all the lights on the stage with the microphone stand, they said they couldn’t use me anymore."

Thankfully, the two sides made up before Cash died.
