They forgot to mention that he had a song called "I Hate Niggers" I think Johnny was racist but i still like some of his music...just dont like that song.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.70.93.54 (talk) 00:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

This is incorrect. An artist named CJ Trahern who went by the name Johnny rebel wrote that song. Johnny Horton did not write nor perform any of the racist songs attributed to him.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.70.93.54 (talk) 00:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

I made a note of the false attributions in the article. I'm sick of hearing about Johnny Horton's non-existent racist songs. 24.199.113.215 13:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not very well written

This article needs some cleaning up. It isn't very well written. I'd do it but don't have the time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.70.93.54 (talk) 00:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Johnnyhorton.jpg

Image:Johnnyhorton.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Frank Black recorded two songs, "If it Takes All Night" on Dog in the Sand, and then later on Show Me Your Tears, "Everything is New". Both songs reference Johnny Horton. "If it Takes All Night" references his ghost and "Everything is New" talks about Johnny's car crash and death.

Don't know how they'd fit here, but they are interesting.
