Inmates at Folsom State Prison are getting to see the popular movie, “Walk the Line,” (an awesome, awesome movie at that!), next month, nearly four decades after Johnny Cash famously performed there.
Joaquin Phoenix, who plays Cash in the film and has been nominated for a Golden Globe, will attend the January 3 showing.
“John believed in the power of redemption and offered his unique gift to anyone who needed to find it within them, and in the process, he inspired millions, I can think of no greater way to honor him than to carry on his legacy of using music to connect to all people.” – Joaquin Phoenix
Cash’s legendary performance at Folsom Prison on January 13, 1968, became a popular live album, and put the Prison on the map.
Wonder if they’d mind one more person? I’d love to see the movie for a third time!
Joi
BTW, I got the soundtrack for Christmas (Thanks again, Steph!!!) and it is WONDERFUL…listening to it makes me all kinds of happy.
