Ferguson, MO USA I needed some help from Johnny Cash to write this Ferguson blurb. Stuck in Folsom Prison Train keeps rolling down to San Antone Shot a man in Reno This was the best live version of “Folsom Prison Blues” I have ever heard. I am not kidding ya. I am going to guess with him all duded up in tux that it may be the Grand Ole Opry. Otherwise I’d say somewhere in Nashville. Or it could be Memphis. The band is GREAT! It’s a middle aged version probably around the time I graduated from HS 1975. What is my take on Ferguson? CALL FOR BACK UP!!! We had a shoot out across from my house about 14 years ago. The officer knew the person and thought they could handle it. One officer couldn’t. I think most people back-down when they see two or three. You have to be patient. You might miss, but with something as benign as walking down the middle of the street….SO WHAT! They don’t sound like they were terrorizing the neighborhood. Police and especially young ones under 40 or ANY AGE, should call for back up and avoid shootouts. It is a manpower problem, but that is why they are applying more force all over now.
