Found in: Music, NewsJohnny Cash Folsom Prison tribute concert cancelled
It’s been over four years since the passing of the Man in Black, which makes any evocation of Johnny Cash an exciting event. Unfortunately, an upcoming event that would have paid tribute to one of Cash’s most famous concerts has been cancelled. A tribute concert scheduled for Sunday (Jan. 13) would have commemorated Cash’s legendary 1968 performance at Folsom State Prison’s canteen. The original concert spawned one of Cash’s most famous records (Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison) and prefigured many future musical appearances at correctional facilities, including Metallica’s performance at San Quentin. Sunday’s concert, which was called off by officials... read more

Found in: Music, NewsStarkville to pardon former jailbird Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash did the Starkville, Miss. police two favors after they arrested him in 1965 for public inebriation. Number one, he immortalized them in “Starkville City Jail,” tunefully laying out the defense he was simply “pickin’ flowers” at the time of the bust. Two, he gave the officers free tickets to his next in-town concert. On the first weekend in November, Starkville will bring closure to the incident with an amiable gesture of its own by holding a “Pickin’ Flowers Festival,” intended to pardon and commemorate the Man in Black, who passed away four years ago last Wednesday.

Everything about Johnny Cash was larger than life, from his deep bass rumblings to his well-publicized sin and redemption high-wire act. He was as iconic a figure as American music ever produced and, given his recent death, it’s probably impossible to view him in a less than mythic light... read more
