00:30A year before, I was arrested for shooting somebody. I could have been there.
00:38The pictures that Jim Marshall had taken wasn't exaggerated and all. He got those things in just the way that
00:44we all looked and the way we all felt.
00:50It was a real eerie time when we went in that press. It was so quiet and so desert. It
00:57was a very, very summer atmosphere. There was just no joy here.
01:02The things of country music are much the same in other music. There's love and love is the main theme
01:10of all music, of course. There's much more sadness in country music.
01:18Here's a man that's taking an interest in what's happening. He knows that this is supposed to be prison and
01:23this is no joke.
01:24Oh, I think for the grace of God, there go I. You know, that was just feelings, I think, towards
01:29the convicts.
01:30It doesn't matter whether you like country music. You're going into that dining room and you're going to sit there
01:36and say,
01:36Man, this is Johnny Cash. I'm going to hear Johnny Cash. You know, hey, Johnny, thanks for coming.
01:42Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
01:44The opening from Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
01:48And the way that his guitar sounded, it took off like a rock.
01:52It just left the launch of the net and went into outer space right there.
01:57It could have caused a jailbreak that fact.
01:59If Johnny would have said, Come on, let's crash out of here right now, they'd have done it.
02:06They'd have followed him.
02:06This next song was written by a man right here in Folsom Prison.
02:14Paradoxically, given what the subject matter and the material of Folsom was, that was the moment that he came into
02:21the light.
02:21That's when this kind of force, when he embodied who he really was.
02:28And that's light, no matter how much darkness is in it.
02:40It was an absolutely perfect moment in time.
02:44And in the most deplorable condition.
02:46Always be a good boy.
02:48Don't ever play with guns.
02:50But I shot a man in Reno
02:52Just to watch him die
02:55Rebellion never gets old.
02:58And there's just a...
03:00There's just a giant being all right.
03:03I hang my head and cry
03:04Let's do it!
03:08Let's do it!
03:29I bet there's rich folks eating from a fancy dining car
03:33They're probably drinking coffee
03:35And smoking big cigars
03:38Well, I know I had it coming
03:40I know I can't be free
03:43I know I know I know I can't cheat
03:46You know I can't be there
