#16348: JOHNNY CASH AT SAN QUENTIN
Order1970-04-05, WNEW, min.
Special: This hour with country singer Johnny Cash was filmed in California's San Quentin Prison by Granada TV of England.
Cash's strong suit is his ability to reach people- especially people who are down on their luck or at odds with society. His own observations make the point as he tells the San Quentin inmates, "I tried to put myself in your place, and I believe this is the way I would feel about San Quentin." Then he sings a song he wrote the night before, which begins, "San Quentin, you've been a living hell to me." And the convicts, assembled in the mess hall, stand on the tables, chairs and benches screaming their agreement.
The program, which includes interviews with guards and inmates, received critical acclaim when first televised in England last April.
