Show 'Son Of Hollow Tramp' Commentary On Life Editor: For the first time in a long time I heard a western song that made I a significant comment on life. It is "The Son of Hickory Hollow's Tramp," recorded by Merle Hag-)0 Hag-)0 gard. The song, beautifully done s by Haggard, points out how the strength of Mother-love will some-I some-I times drive a mother to do things JJ that society frowns upon, and that d the people that are so carelessly I branded as vile by unthinking k people are often motivated by mo-r mo-r tives that are noble, beyond the comprehension of a person who does not know all the circumstances. circum-stances. Evil Record But, fortunately I will not have to exercise my brain any more. The record has been taken off of the lists of the station that I listen to. The reason is because the record is evil. It speaks about real people and real problems. It even goes so far as to say the words, "scarlet lamp." Bravo, to the Pleasant Valley Censors. Joel Kester |
