Johnny Cash kept a pet ostrich on his farm. One day in 1983 the ostrich kicked him and broke Cash’s ribs, which led to a relapse of his painkiller and alcohol addiction. He went to the Betty Ford Clinic to get sober and met and befriended Ozzy Osbourne. https://t.co/leTxbjHwXz

It’s heavy handed symbolism can be forgiven for the raw and frank statement it makes. MLK was not a perfect man. None are. But he was an inspiration and catalyst for change that worked to heal a nation.
