What Was Thrown Off the Tallahatchie Bridge?

Hey Onhwy -- I have never taken a poll, but I'll bet I am one of only a very few people here on Agon that has an original "Ballads of the Green Beret" LP by SSgt. Barry Sadler. As an impressionable 11 year old, I was pretty much vulnerable to the progoganda machine, and I bought this LP with my allowance when Ballad of the Green Berets was filling the AM airwaves ad nauseum. Ahhh...memories!

How about the money that the federal Govt. sent to Louisianna to fix those levies over the last 20 years? You don't hear abut that on national news.

Nice to hear from you Mr. Ebersol, how are things at NBC?

According to what I read, the winner of an auction to find this out had to sign a legal document that forbade them from disclosing the information. The winner was Dick Ebersol of NBC. Don't worry I doubt that Carly or her lawyers read these posts.

Her website has a whole series of interviews on the subject

I remember when the song and movie came out and everyone thought it was either a ring or a baby, Bobbie Gentry never would say either way. As far as the Carly Simon song, I always thought it was Warren Beatty too. Kind of a sarcastic post Mr. Burke.
