In 1958, twenty-year-old San Quintin inmate Merle Haggard listened to Johnny Cash’s first-ever prison concert. It changed his life, he later said, because that concert made Haggard decide to become a country musician.
Haggard ended his career with 38 number-one hits on various American charts. Among other honors, he was given the Kennedy Center Honor and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Odd to think those things might not have happened if Haggard hadn’t been imprisoned!
