Was a brand new song, so I was 9 years old, and heard it on the legendary Asheville country station WWNC. The “she got run over…” verse absolutely killed me then and it still does now I remember hearing it when I was around 10. My parents didn’t like DAC so he was rarely played in the house except for this and one or two others. Recorded 50 years ago today apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a troubled relationship with DAC: love so much of his classic stuff but loathe the racist/X-rated stuff.

But he has so much good stuff, it’s easy to ignore the problematic stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To paraphrase the Drive-By Truckers, it’s the duality of the DAC thing A few years ago my wife & I were over in Petaluma, CA. There was a car driving slowly around the main area of town blasting the racist stuff First time I’d heard it in decades. This is in southern Sonoma County, last place you’d expect to hear that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say ignore it’s more a case of me being a very casual fan and the stuff I listen to is very mainstream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kind of surprised that no one has made a DAC biopic yet. Seems like something Kid Rock would get behind. Or even a legit contemporary documentary. Like him or not, there’s no denying that there is one helluva story there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
