The Problem With The Harper Valley PTA

OK so the whore, slutty mother, goes to the meeting and points out the other people in the room have issues too.

What the song fails to note is that the PTA's criticism of her were accurate and just because they too have foibles, doesn't take away her shortcoming.

Thus Mrs Johnson or more accurately Mrs Whoreson was not a fit mother and the other town folk not being fit, doesn't change her into a fit mother.

I do rather see your point. All they said in the letter was, "We don't believe you ought'a be a bringin' up your little girl this way."

It's not like they separated mother and child, and threw the minor into a cage at a deportation camp.

They got a little more specific than that R2 - she'd been wearing her dresses way too high and, in addition, she'd been reported to be drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild. Luckily though she had the dirt on them all and used it to sock it to 'em. Tom T Hall was a great songwriter and could run the gamut from something fun like Harper Valley to the heartbreaking It Sure Can Get Cold in Des Moines.

I always assumed that Stella Johnson was the one who threw something off the Tallaahatchie Bridge with Billie Joe

I still wonder what the significance is of Mrs. Taylor sure seeming to use a lot of ice when her husband is gone, though. Drunk? Abused wife? Cheating with the iceman?

The latter, I imagine.
