During a visit to New York City in 1970, Johnny Cash took fifteen-year-old Rosanne to a Greenwich Village shop to be fitted for this leather and suede jacket. In “The Moth Presents Occasional Magic: True Stories About Defying the Impossible” — a collection of stories to which she contributed — Cash wrote of that experience, “I stood in front of the full-length mirror in the shop, and I looked out at Bleecker Street, and I looked back at myself in the mirror, and I thought, ‘That’s the real me. I belong here. This is my city.’”
