a musical hypothesis

[strangeanimal]

... considering it features gunplay, crooked cops, a "ho" and people driving trucks around, can "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence (or the Reba McEntire version) be considered not only a country-western song, but also gangsta? discuss.

granted, the song doesn't mention "bling" at all, but it *was* the 70s.

and now I'm picturing Vicki Lawrence as a gangsta. oy. it must be friday.
