Since Popcorn's recipe got so much attention and loved by all; I found this old videotaped news article from my local area. Long forgotten footage, but a great news story!
Honestly, I don't think he would've cared much. You heard all he wanted outta life was that Ford,that banjo, and that woman. He wasn't looking for fame or notoriety. He was already a legend in his business and respected by his peers and customers before he died and that's good enough for an old mountain man runnin shine.
The Federal Government is responsible for his death . I met Popcorn Sutton at the Car Show in Maggie Valley on the corner of Hemphill rd. and Johnathan Creek in the cow pasture . Government is as cricked as a DOGS HIND LEG ❗️❗️BACK STABBING PIECES OF DUNG ‼️ Popcorn Sutton said F### You ‼️‼️
Too bad y'all couldn't have helped him out when he was still alive God bless his soul maybe in heaven with his mother and daddy rest in peace Mr Popcorn Sutton never met you but I appreciate you
I see a man living free while not hurting a soul. Terrible and embarrassing that the ATF decided to pick on a poor old man for no other reason then the governments the only only allowed to sell drugs and alcohol. 😒rip popcorn
Rip Popcorn. My uncle and aunt live in Harlan kentucky and were lucky enough to meet him. Kind hearted man but would talk your ear off lol. I wish I got a chance to meet him too. I can’t believe my uncle and aunt got to meet him! When they told me my jaw literally dropped
It's not the tax dollars that they're concerned about. Government at all levels is full of Adolf Hitler wannabes who have a pathological desire to play God. And Popcorn wasn't going to be told how to live his life or what he could and couldn't do. That's why they persecuted him like they did
It’s crazy to think a mountain hillbilly with very limited technology knew the importance of sharing his craft with people of the future beyond his life
Well it's heritage I mean what do you think built the southern states after the Civil war? The illegal liquor business moonshining basically help fund this nation and a lot of people don't think about that a lot of regular people did this and still do it because it's our family heritage.
Genoa, get educated on the groceries growing out in the wild , God's grocery store and take popcorn recipe outside on a open coals to cook on , ramps , wild onions and garlic are there , pepper weed sage and wild parsley are there too , and would be used in emergency case situations like his, when using table scraps like was done during the depression error or hard times going on right now , but knowing the difference between false plants is important because queen Ann's lace and Angelica weed are similar but not the same when you are cooking, I love your video , I had the privilege to be there for that last run , my birthday is on the 18th of this month and at that time I'd just been back home from Los Angeles, not knowing that it would be the last time I'd get to dance a thump dance with him and Pam, my suggestion is to keep it real and as wild as our popcorn was and would be to this very day , I helped gather the wild seasoning put into it on one occasion when I visited. Peace Love to you and your house
Man I love North Carolina, moonshine, old barns, and the Smokey mountains. grew up there landscaped there, it’s a damn shame to see the state of Asheville (full of leftist)I live in TN now, two prettiest states in the US!
go spend day packing 50 lb or 100lb bags of corn and suger up hill 2 plus miles plus all the other stuff it takes id not say its harder then roofing or mining but its just as bad can drive to it just on loud you stuff or the cops / people follow the road find you not easy as you think
@@jasonnester9514 no it's not, but it definitely adds a degree of difficulty. I mean if you didn't need to stay hidden, you wouldn't be packing things up the side of a mountain.
Danny M I can tell you've never made any white liquor, it's extremely hard work. I helped Popcorn make several runs. Try lugging 600 lbs. of corn & sugar up in the mountains, it's back breaking work.
