Johnny Cash eating cake, 1971.

Pictured here is the legend Johnny Cash, captured in the act of chowing down on fistfuls of strawberry cake (because forks will only slow him down). So here he is, in all his glory, sitting in the bushes during what was probably the most intense case of the munchies ever.

It’s no secret that the singer struggled with drugs and alcohol all throughout his life.

The late Hall of Famer was quoted in the book Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Reader, "I took all the drugs there are to take, and I drank." He went on to say, "everybody said that Johnny Cash was through 'cause I was walkin' around town 150 pounds. I looked like walking death."



He partied hard and made no efforts to hide it. This picture of Johnny, high as a kite, would go on to be used as the art for the back cover of his album entitled Strawberry Cake back in 1971.
