Our suggestions
Concerned by a rising rock-n-roll influence on a growing liberal fanbase, President Nixon invited Johnny Cash to the White House to solidify his base in the traditionally more conservative genre of country music. What Cash did instead was subversive and surprised everyone.
"'Nixon and the Man in Black', the second episode of the documentary series about music masters 'ReMastered', takes a look at one of the most controversial moments in US political history, the administration of Richard Nixon. All stemming from a confrontation with one of the country's biggest musical figures: Johnny Cash. In increasingly political times like today, it's a great pick."
