Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison

At the end of 1968, in a gray prison cafeteria in Northern California, impervious to the political tumult outside, hard men doing hard time witnessed the making of a legendary album that would catapult a country singer onto the path of becoming
a legend.
Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison remains one of the greatest live albums ever made, and the man himself one of America's greatest troubadours and advocates for prison reform. "I didn't go into it thinking about it as a crusade," remembers Cash, "I just don't think prisons do any good...Nothing good ever came out of a prison." This film will expose a lesser known "Man in Black" through an exciting, visually compelling examination of this historic concert.

i always thought Johnny Cash was one of the coolest entertainers of all time along with Elvis, we dont realy know why he decided to play in that prison, it certainly helped his career because people are still buying the record today, on the other hand we would all like to think its because he cared about the men in prison, i think he did it for a combination of both reasons and thats fine with me

[declassified1]

Yeah , he had a milk round in Merthyr for a while

thats just what the man wants you believe DeadLegs.

His real name is Owen Llewelyn and he left for America because he was being persecuted for his Muslim faith.

Pull your head out of your ass. Anyone who knows a single thing about Johnny Cash, knows full well that he was born in Kingsland and raised in Dyess.

Good man . I have a .50 cal sniper rifle mounted in an Eyrie on my land , in case anyone tries to steal my collection of REO Speedwagon memorabilia.

Tomorrow me and my missus have booked a weeks holiday in San Quentin Correctional centre. I have heard how much fun it is.

Actually, I am 27. I am also tired of seeing revolving-door prisons that are more like resort clubs than punishment centers. I am not a republican, but I am conservative. I would actually prefer to see open season on career criminals - need to brush up on my 1000 yard shot.  And yes, I can make a 1000 yard shot.

Delogriffith dont wish to seem rude , but you are talking out of your arse. Are you 14?

People kept going back to prison in the early 1900s didnt they twat

May be the people then used to say , if only they ran prisons like in the 14th Century , with torture chambers , people wouldnt want to come back.

I hope your career as a republican politician goes well
