Top 100 - CRIME TIME – Die 100 besten Songs über Verbrechen
"Ich erschoss einen Mann in Reno, nur um ihn sterben zu sehen" - für solch eine Tat landet man unweigerlich im Staatsgefängnis "Folsom Prison". Die Lakonie, mit der Johnny Cash den Text singt, macht diesen Song so erschreckend. Ein Mann, der sein Leben komplett in den Sand gesetzt hat, der einen Mord ohne Motiv begangen hat, aber nun diejenigen beneidet, die frei sind und es zu Wohlstand gebracht haben. Von Einsicht keine Spur. Als Johnny Cash den "Folsom Prison Blues" 1968 vor den Häftlingen im Folsom State Prison sang, war das gewagt und ein Ereignis. Das Gefängnisalbum brachte Johnny Cash wieder an die Spitze der US-Charts. Die Musik: Typisch Johnny Cash. Dass er den Text gestohlen hat - geschenkt. Er hat ihn zu seinem eigenen gemacht.
