It’s Criminal!

Many people love reality or fictional crime shows. What songs are about crime? Either committed or thought about. I was surprised when I thought of this just how many there are. 

Hey Joe-Jimi Hendrix

            Interesting post, Nicole; we were chatting about Mr Cash at dinner NYE.

             

            Fun fact: Johnny Cash's first prison performance was New Year's Day, 1958, at San Quentin State Prison.

            Done with this "new" and "improved"... kinda like dotard improved America...
