I think everybody knows that Merle was an inmate in San Quentin at the time Johnny Cash played his famous 1958 concert there.  But what I just learned was that Merle was pardoned for his crimes 1n 1972 - by then-California Governor Ronald Reagan.  Neat little factoid about an incredible musicians life.

RIP Merle.
