For everyday people around the town of Kingsland and Cleveland County as a whole, the infamous shooting of the water tower in May of 2022 is old news they would like to forget. That is not the case however for the rest of the world, specifically for Kasson, Minnesota singer-songwriter (and furniture salesperson) Cori Kennedy. Kennedy stumbled upon news footage of the water tower shooting which depicted music icon and Kingsland native Johnny Cash “leaking from the sky” after the shot was fired in what then-Mayor Luke Neal called a “sensitive area.” Finding the incident hilarious and ironic, Kennedy wrote a song about it in the style of Johnny Cash.

The video quickly went viral and within a week surpassed 11 million views, steadily climbing closer to 20 million at the time of publication.
