In 1955, Johnny Cash was an itinerant folksinger, playing hootenannies and hoedowns, when he was discovered by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, as dramatized in this clip. This scene was excised from the film Ring of Fire after a lawsuit was threatened by the SubGenius Foundation, and the screenwriters inserted the fictional character "Sam Phillips."
My name is Chris Oliver. I'm a stand up comic, writer and English (ESL) teacher living in Los Angeles. With my wife, comic Bobbie Oliver, I am the co-proprietor of Tao Comedy Studio. I direct the web series Saving Face (starring Bobbie Oliver and Sally Mullins), host the comedy/talk show podcast Psychedelicatessen Radio (with Bobbie) and host the music podcast Sleestak Lightnin!!!. I was born and raised in Stuart, Fla. (Jensen Beach, to be more precise), a small, beachy suburb north of Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast. Went to LaGrange College in GA. Got married after graduating and moved to Athens, GA. In '97, we moved to L.A. Psychedelicatessen is the name of a band I was in in high school and college.
