Cash had been released from the hospital Tuesday after a two-week stay for treatment of an unspecified stomach ailment. The illness caused him to miss last month's MTV awards, where his "Hurt" - a cover of Trent Reznor's hard rock song with Nine Inch Nails - won for cinematography.

Because of Cash's frequent perfortnances in prisons and his rowdy lifestyle early in his career, many people wrongly thought he had served prison time. He never did, though he battled addiction to pills on and off and received a sus- pended jail sentence in 1965 on a misdemeanor narcotics charge in Texas. He blamed fame for his vulnerability to drug addiction. "When I was a kid, I always knew I'd sing on the radio someday. I never thought about fame until it started happening to me," he said in 1988. "Then it was hard to handle. That's why I turned to pills." In March 1998, after Cash's 1998 Grammy for best country album for "Unchained," he made headlines when his California-based record company took out an ad in the music trade magazine Billboard. The ad showed a much younger Cash flipping his middle finger, sarcastically illustrating his thanks to country radio stations and "the country music establishment in Nashville," which he felt had unfairly cast him aside. Singer Rosanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter from his first marriage, to Vivian Liberto. Their other three children were Kathleen, Cindy and Tara. They divorced in 1966. Cash lived in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville. He also had a home in Jamaica.

Most of the houses provided some food and music. Thursday night was preference night and this evening took on a more serious tone.

The dress for this evening was formal and was the final time for those rushing to make a lasting impression on the brothers before they made their decisions to whom to extend bids.
