Well, this is interesting, so I'll hijack it, because I want to know why Little Sister went to Andy's house and shot him instead of Seth Amos. At least Andy was honest & fessed up to his best friend.
If you don't know what the hell I'm talkin' about you don't listen to enough Country & Western (probably a good thing...) :-)
Vickie Lawrence recorded the original "Lights went out in Georgia" Bobbie Gentry did "Ode to Billie Joe" And if it's "Billie", well, I always thought that was the girl!

I meant the song about the little sister quoted by the other poster. I know "Ode to Billie Joe" but I have forgotten "The Nights that the Lights Went Out in Georgia"

They threw a ragdoll off the bridge--there is a novel associated with the movie that explains it.
Seems Billy Joe is feeling guilty about a 'homosexual experience'. He was raped. And the ragdoll is supposedly a symbol of what might have been. The girl leaves town for the 'correct' amount of time in order to get folks to thing Billy Joe impregnated her rather than to have them believe the truth: he was raped by the football heroes and commited suicide.
Again, there is a novel. Look it up and read it. Welcome to the deep south. Not so different from Provo, Utah.
