It always blows my mind that the federal government decides that THESE are the kind of men who need to go to federal prison. Because a few hundreds gallons of booze that was made in a shed in his back woods didn’t get taxed.

One thing i love about Popcorn he never let the popularity go to his head, he was just still a simple man with a simple life and very down to earth, which in my eyes makes him even more legendary! RIP POPCORN!!!!

This man just made some 180 plus proof shiine….this dude was soo bad ass…as good and loyal as a man can become…the law had no buisness coming down on this mans tradition….

This recording was made in May 1987. I thought it was lost in somebody's attic in Waynesville. Glad to see it up on the Youtubes. R.I.P Pops

This is a tradition that's as old as America itself. 🇺🇸 RIP Popcorn! 🙏

He took in my wife when she was a child to watch over and protect. Her parents had a crazy relationship, her dad was a violent drunk and her mom was too scared to leave. Her mom, Nancy, took her, Christy, up to Popcorn's. He watched her, fed her, clothed her, and treated her like gold, for what my wife remembers as a summer roughly. She said he was a funny man that loved to have her laughing too. She always felt safe there, and that was a rarity in her life up to that point. Her mom is gone now, so his her dad, so we can't get more details than that unfortunately. It would have been in the late 70's to early 80's. He probably lived in east Tennessee at the time, as that's where were all from. I've heard Cosby and Parrottsville both as potential places. If anyone who knew him then, remembers a little blonde haired girl staying with him for a bit, we'd love to hear any stories you might have. Thank you Popcorn for being there for them when I couldn't be. I was just a child myself, but I still feel like I should have been there. RIP to who I see as a kind soul. The world may think of him as a moonshiner because that's all they know about him, but because what I know of the man I think of him as a guardian of my wife when she was a child. He was there when I couldn't be, so I am eternally grateful. Ironically, the police never did much of anything, as they knew her daddy. Funny how the "outlaw" was doing the job that the "law" should have handled. You may or may not like the man over what he did for money. I understand that, you can feel however you want. But, you're a piece of work if you don't see him a bit differently after reading how he helped the child version of my wife and mother-in-law out. We are all more than what we do for a living!

Long lost art of the old timers called minding your own damned business

He will live on forever.

So HAPPY I found this! Just finished watching "The Last Dam Run of Likker I'll Ever Make" for the now 4th time. Thank u

The world would be a much better place if there was more popcorns in it. Rest in peace my friend 🙏

Watched this whole thing through. Such a beautiful experience. Learned a bunch of stuff too. R.I.P. Popcorn Sutton

Idk if any two things will ever go better together than banjos and moonshine

This is True American History. 🦅🇺🇸 He was one of the best to ever do it. Rest in Peace PopCorn gone to soon. Just a simple Man trying to get by. Like the rest of us 👨‍🌾

Popcorn has to be one of the coolest guys to ever be on film or have lived lol Definitely a top contender, may he rest easy Pioneer in the real sense of the word

I've got two heroes in my life, Popcorn Sutton and Jesus.

This gentleman is a legend in the 'moonshine' industry. He is the bench mark for making the finest product of its kind. He's a gentleman and a scholar in the art and science of this product. They should have made a statue of him in his home town.

Popcorn was a National Treasure. He sure was not living like a drug cartell head. The Feds ought to left him alone to do what he loved. His shine was important as saving this music.

This would’ve been the best damn reality show the world ever saw! Think about the gems we got of Ozzy! Popcorn surely wouldn’t disappoint!

Lol the dance was just amazing. Loved it.
