Funny to see this thread just now. Hang Down Your Head...was recently running through my mind along with a couple of other songs that made me wonder just why they were so popular, cause they seemed to leave out a lot of what "should" have been the story.

Without going into the weeds about it, it just seems like TD is a partial story, and why do I care about it? Obviously, from this thread I can see that there is a LOT to it. But still, how does such an incomplete story make it into popular culture? I am pretty sure that most of the people who listened to this song had a clue as to what it referred to. Lessen, of course, they are Mudcatters. ;-)
