This one's got it all: Preacher/Politician. Molestation. Suicide. Arson. Church with bikers and beer. False 9/11 claims. "Blame it on Satan."

Kentucky lawmaker who was accused of molesting a teenage girl likely killed himself

Long, sordid article about said Kentucky lawmaker (well worth reading)

I've been reading about him and thinking the same thing. If he had only thrown himself off some sort of mountain......

Or if wigs or go-go boots were somehow involved.

Geez, I never said it checked every single "sordid PH crime song" box

Here is another one - right in Alabama -

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/26/de ... olved.html


It can be titled: " The Double Life"

Give it to Cooley - let him write it.

Or, the Sheriff in Bibb Co of S Town infamy who killed himself and is the subject of a major lawsuit.

Here is an update to the song " The Double Life"

Here's a funny (and sad) story from Cleveland in 1974 that sounds like a DBT song.

A losing team, laid-off factory workers, nudity, fights, guys guzzling beer directly from the taps on the beer trucks, and so much more.



It's not quite as bad as this, but it reminds me of these lines by Mike Cooley:

Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's true
Greed and fixed elections, guns and drugs and whores and booze

A stolen car, a rattlesnake, uranium, & an open bottle of whiskey

no word on whether the trunk was full of guns

The fucker is traveling with radioactive cancer causing shit and a poisonous snake, and the best they can concoct is "possession of a stolen vehicle, transporting an open container of liquor and driving with a suspended license." Dumbasses. I would have locked him in a lead-lined room with the uranium and the rattler and taken bets on who died first.

The story in the news lately about South Carolina lawyer Alex Mudaugh is one that Patterson has already written a song about...sort of. I first heard about it from my wife and my immediate reply was, "The Truckers have a song about that!"

One article of many from Google: South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh enlisted hitman for $10 million life insurance policy, attorney says

Both Hood and Cooley could do something with the Casey White/Vicky White story.

Florence, Alabama? Lauderdale County? It couldn't come wrapped in a brighter, bigger bow. Get crackin' guys!

Before they were caught I was thinking the Dirty South revisited. Come on Patterson, you can do this!

When I heard about the story, I immediately thought of this thread. Patterson better get cracking before I beat him to it! The story is ripe with lyrical juiciness!
