Perfect song. Perfect performer.
You could just “feel” that song.
This year is the 100th anniversary of the Jefferson Davis monument at his birthplace in Kentucky. It's shaped like the Washington Monument (but not as tall). Supposedly a lot of tourists stop and their first question is "Who was Jefferson Davis"?
*The movie was not what the song was about.
Why he jumped is a mystery. Movies can and do make up the story the producers and writers WANT to tell.*
Ya got me there. I was not impressed with the movie or the song. Perhaps the novel would have spelled but is it worthy?
One of those feel-good songs—until you actually listen to the lyrics.
