Hi John,
I've just half-listened to the Tammy Wynette version... I couldn't make it to the end, simply because Bobbie
owns it, and gives it
so much more feeling...
I've also read a few suppositions on the internet about what Billie Joe and his girlfriend might have thrown off the bridge. (Hey, I'm telling you, John, you've REALLY fired me up with this one!) but I agree with the writer (BG) that it's not the most significant aspect of the song at all. It's the intrigue that makes it so successful!!!
Thanks again, John. This has made my day in a most unexpected way
Jayne
