About Me

Johnny Cash was arrested in Starkville, Miss., on May 11, 1965, for public drunkeness. He wrote the song, "Starkville City Jail," and performed it at San Quentin State Prison on Feb. 24, 1969. Cash played at Mississippi State University again in 1970 and gave many officers involved with his arrest front row tickets to the performance. It's about time the community formally appreciated the depth and humanity of the Man in Black. We recommend the city of Starkville issue a posthumous pardon to Cash. The pardon doesn't suggest anyone condoned Cash's behavior. It symbolically recognizes Cash an imperfect human who made mistakes but gained insight and wisdom by learning from his indiscretions. It's not about Johnny Cash getting arrested; it's about what his life symbolized to so many people -- that no matter what happens in life you can redeem yourself.
