Maybe he could get a posthumous pardon?

Zevon's Excitable Boy album is a classic! Here's a good cover by Rick Derringer that I heard before the original.
Apparently, two guys broke out, and both got the gas chamber.
The other guy didnt kill anyone.
I think I'll do some reading on the story and find out more.
Johnny Cash went to San Quentin twice to play for the inmates. The second time is the one you see in the videos and hear the recordings from.
On his first visit, Merle haggard was actually an inmate there, and he watched from his prison blues.
I saw Rick Derringer at the Sports Arena many, many, moons ago.

. . . and he said, "if he can do that!"
Has to be one of the top ten country songs ever written.
There was one interview i watched awhile back where Merle told the story about how scared John and June were on that second visit, and how Johnny told Merle he never wanted to go back.
I looked for it on Youtube but I cant find it.
I met the drummer for Robin Trower circa 1980.
Robin had a great sound and what a great guitarist.
This one blew my mind.
Always been a big Brubeck fan.
I posted these two on the old video thread.
