He was jailed overnight a few times, once for importing amphetamine pills from mexico, ones he'd been getting legally in the states up until that point. He also crashed his car in a forest in Oklahoma or something and was the first person to be prosecuted for starting such a fire in that state, it destroyed a hell of a lot of forest.
The only time he went to Folsom prison was to do a concert, he was inspired to write the song 'Folsom prison blues' by a film he saw while stationed in Germany that was set in Folsom. Johnny Cash was an amazing man.

Johnny Cash was a great man. I loved the fact that he was big and strong, but not a bully. He was talented and gifted, but humble and polite. I also love the fact that there was part of him that was deeply troubled, and he wasn’t afraid to talk about it, it shows he was human. In his younger days he struggle with drugs and many inner demons, but he got a grip on this and became a very spiritual man. I also love the fact that NO one group can pin Johnny down for their own cause, although they may try, he was an individual, a rebel in the true sense of the word.
Out of all the famous people in history, he is the one guy i feel i can actually relate to. He is the one guy i would love to have had a conversation with.
As for the political undertones to your post... well to be honest I’m not interested in any of that. As a Brit, sometimes American patriotism can seem a little over the top for me, but i think that’s just a cultural thing. Although I would like to point out that Johnny Cash didn’t just see himself as “Anglo Saxon“ For a time he see himself as part Cherokee and was actually hurt when he discovered that in fact he wasn’t. He connected very closely with the plight of the Native Americans and this was reflected in the Album – Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian.
All i will add to this now is...
R.I.P Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash... Two beautiful people who’s souls help to light up the night sky.

To be honest, in my opinion, patrioism for your country is a terrible thing. Now, if people had that same patrioism for the planet, then the world would be a much better place.

well u go right on ahead and salute your
United Nations and NATO flags and sign

I am sure Soros will allow you to shine
