After gaining momentum in the Starkville community, Johnny Cash fans throughout the world will have an opportunity to learn about the city of Starkville issuing a symbolic pardon to the Man in Black, and a festival to include a musical lineup of artists associated with Cash. He sang about his run-in with the Starkville authorities on his album, At San Quentin recorded in 1968. After performing at Mississippi State University in 1965, Starkville police arrested Cash for being drunk in public and took him to the Oktibbeha County Jail. Cash’s version of the story said police arrested him for ‘pickin’ flowers.’ A few years after the altercation, Cash returned to Starkville and gave local authorities free tickets to his performance to show no hard feelings. Robbie Ward, long-time Cash is the executive director for the Johnny Cash Flower Pickin’ Festival, and said it’s time for the city of Starkville to “pardon Johnny Cash.” More than 42 years later, the city’s set to hold the first Johnny Cash Flower Pickin Festival which will run between 2-4 November 2007. Along with the pardon and music, the festival will include a screening of Walk the Line, a community-wide social and charity auction, discussions by authors of books about Johnny Cash and a community-wide church service for the community and Cash fans to ask for forgiveness.
