I am curiously fascinated by this thread. And now I'm going to have to rent Ode to Billy Joe on Amazon Prime. I would have said the song was about an unrequited or forbidden love before reading this thread. Obviously I need to pay more attention. And I have to say Robby Benson has aged nicely. He was too pretty for my taste back in the day. SaveSaveI'm in the he was too pretty back in the day camp also. Now though? I would do naughty things with him. As to the song, it came out around the time I was born, but hung around long enough that I heard it enough but was too young to do much more than try to connect the Tallahachie brigdge with some bridge in Tallahassee (where I grew up.)

anxiousmom - my big brother was born in Tallahassee and I have relatives that live there. When the song first came out, I thought they WERE saying "Tallahassee Bridge" - I sang it that way until my mom corrected me
