On June 20, 1972, the Tallahatchee Bridge in Money, Mississippi, collapsed. It was later rebuilt for real, but it lives on famously in Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billie Joe." Name-checking notable locations — cities, highways, bridges, buildings, bodies of water, addresses, etc. — has long been a songwriting approach that creates intimacy and connectedness within the words. (And, it always seems to give us a charge when we hear a reference to a place where we have personal ties.)
