Today’s music video is Ode to Billie Joe, a number 1 hit in 1967 by Bobbie Gentry, one of the first female country artists to write & produce her own songs:The song remains as enigmatic today as the day it was written. In an interview, Gentry explained the song’s mystery: “Everybody has a different guess about what was thrown off the bridge—flowers, a ring, even a baby. Anyone who hears the song can think what they want, but the real message of the song, if there must be a message, revolves around the nonchalant way the family talks about the suicide. They sit there eating their peas and apple pie and talking, without even realizing that Billie Joe’s girlfriend is sitting at the table, a member of the family.”
There has been speculation that Gentry, a former Las Vegas dancer, withdrew from public life and has disappeared. But she’s apparently living a quiet life in Los Angeles.
