Several people have posted links to Youtube songs that seem to capture some aspect of the LA case. I thought we could use a thread devoted to these songs. I don’t follow popular music much, and only have a few suggestions, but I assume others can come up with some better ones:
I’m hurt (to think you lied to me)
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
Ballad of Thunder Road (as allegory!)
“Daddy made the whisky, son, he drove the load…”
Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (another allegory)
"From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
'cause the point of a syringe was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good."
