A friend of Dr. "M." wrote Dr. "M." a note which Dr. "M." passed on to me. It went a little something like this: "I read Jack's blog and watched the clip of Bobbie Gentry singing Ode to Billy Joe. The original lyrics (written on lined legal paper) are in the manuscript collection at Ole Miss - one of those odd things I found when I should have been researching/writing." There. The thought of that is going to have to last you. Or you might revisit our award-winning series on belts.
