I Shot A Man In Reno…

Johnny Cash

Fact: The song, “Folsom Prison Blues“, by Johnny Cash is an excellent piece of American live music history and is, at bare minimum, partly responsible for the creation of I Shoot Reno.

With widely known and often repeated (and sampled; yes Beastie Boys, we’re looking your direction) lyrics like these … well, let’s just say we’re taking the shooting in a whole new direction!

“When I was just a baby, my mama told me son / always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns / but I shot a man in Reno… just to watch him die / when I hear that whistle blowin’ I hang my head and cry.”

Don’t forget where you’ve come from … especially if you’d like to know where you’re going!
