Today in 2004, Johnny Cash's family blocked an attempt by advertisers to use his hit song ‘Ring of Fire’ to promote haemorrhoid-relief products.

The idea is said to have been backed by Merle Kilgore, who co-wrote the song with Cash's wife, June Carter Cash. Cash's daughter Rosanne said the family "would never allow the song to be demeaned like that."

Thanks for sharing, my day is going to go so much better now after knowing that!

Mind you it would have been a very fitting song for the commercial

Yeah bummer - that's a very fitting use of his music.

Wonder if they'd be any happier if it was used by Patak's.
