Women With Genuine Talent
Do you have any idea who Felice Bryant was? If not, you should.
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top: half minx, the other half cat!
Fine as silk and sweet as sody pop, I still dream about that.....
Did more un-PC lyrics ever appear in a country tune? You have to wonder.
Bye bye, Felice. You will, truly, be missed.
Oh, good, now I know who to blame... Heh heh heh...
I had not heard of Felice Bryant, but I have heard that damnable Rocky Top song (might have been during the laser light show at Stone Mountain, GA) and frankly I was horrified by the... the... the Tennessee-ness of it.
Depends on what you call PC? Here try these on for size:
Got up this morning to make the rounds,
Took a shot of cocaine and I shot my lady down.
I shot her down and I whet to bed,
I put that loving 44 beneath my head.
Or
One more round Delia's gone, Delia's gone.
There's a lot of women killing in Country music.
Would you like to try out a singer down here in Texas? Her name is Anni Clark. I have posted about her today in my blog. (bottom of today's entry)
OH, and thanks for the info, Dean!!
Speaking of which, the above-mentioned Dixie Chicks had a hit song about a woman and her friends gleefully killing her man.
I suppose I should have said that Rocky Top was un-PC for its time and place for its fairly frank sexual reference.
Huh. Thought that was "Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop". It is on the Osborne Brothers records.
