Extraordinarily Vague Song Credits

While there is a seemingly impressive array of names associated with every song, especially on the Legacy release, it is impossible to tell in almost all cases what the names refer to: Performer? Composer? Lyricist? Arranger? Some combination? None? All?

Names in parentheses or bullets do nothing to signify role. Clarity by using actual words is appreciated for all non-telepaths. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.11.85.188 (talk) 01:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Searingly candid

Can anyone expand on what the phrase "searingly candid" in the lead means? It doesn't mean much without more details, does it? (John User:Jwy talk) 21:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

finger photo?

There's no mention in the article of the famous photo of Cash flipping the bird to the camera. It was taken by Jim Marshall. Marshall tells a story about asking Cash how he feels about the warden.[1] The story I remember Cash telling is that the cameraman kept tripping over equipment and getting in the way, and when Marshall asked for a pose, Cash flipped him off. I can't find a source for that version though. But the photo was taken in 1969 during the recording of the album. Doesn't it merit a mention in the article? 66.68.178.19 (talk) 17:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
