We all know Australian Travel Agents are the best the world, but just how good are you with useless information?
Johnny Cash’s travel agent was one of the worst in history, first he accidentally booked The Man in Black into a prison (next to a bend on railroad track no less) one night, and then his dream of riding the Blue Train also went pear shaped.
Johnny eventually went back to Reno to sort him out.
