    69' was a hot summer and tensions were high given the Vietnam war. Many Americans could relate to this song and it soon hit #1. With the Apollo moon landing tensions simmered down but it's these timeless classics that remind us how turbulant of a time 1969 was.

    Fun fact; I personally knew the 'preacher's daughter' Lee's talking about. Her name was Jolene Abel-Allen (although us locals just called her Jole for short) and before the incident, Jole wasn't that much of a churchgoer, but the song fails to mention that the knife narrowly missed her head and impaled into the wall behind her. She was mighty thankful to Lee for taking care of that devil spawn and would always mention him after the Sunday sermons when folks would gather in front of the local church. Jole would speak real highly of him and whenever old Lee came back to town she'd give him a basket of home-grown veggies from her backyard. Bless her pure heart.

    Absolutely brilliant. In the first 30 seconds the lines, "Heard a mightly cry, from some evil little b**tard, with the devil in his eye." had me laughing out loud. As a big Johnny Cash fan, I feel that this captured the feel of the fight between a boy named Sue and his dad. Also, worth saying that Johnny Lee Tuppard was a man's man in a time when men didn't have to take s*it from anyone, and damn the consequences.

    The lost album version was recorded in the Quonset hut at 804 16th Av with famous producer Billy Sherrill at the controls for Epic Records. Tuppard refused to use Nashville session musician and instead used his road band, much to the annoyance of Sherrill. David Alan Coe is also an uncredited co writer.

    I agree with this. I’d never do this as a kid.
    I was the kid whom was “yes ma’am no sir.” So forth. When people say he’s a kid he doesn’t know better. I roll my eyes. I did dumb stuff as a kid yes. But even as a kid I had a line I didn’t cross. The line was don’t piss off mom and dad.
    I was the kid whom would gladly call you out for your nonsense. Or if you got caught would be chuckling across the room and thinking to myself “about time”. Kids can be brats or they can be great. I always tried to never cause my parents strife. I was the grateful kid. Who’d never cause trouble unless you’d ask for it. I’m 23 now and have necwe gotten in any serious fights. I’m wise enough to the point where most of the time we can talk this out. If not I exit.
    Kids don’t piss of your parents. They want the best for you. Agree to disagree if you have to but as long as parents are responsible and respectful to you show them that respect back.
