In the summer of 2018, a huge mural of Johnny Cash was erected in Sacramento, easily seen on the horizon when heading towards the State Capitol from the eastern part of midtown. The image was crafted by Shepard Fairey, of the Obama “Hope” poster fame, from a photo taken by rock-and-roll photographer Jim Marshall at the famed 1968 concert in Folsom State Prison that made Cash — and Folsom Prison — a legend.
