HelpRe: Jolene
in reply to a message by Pickles
It's very country, possibly due to the song but also just because of the sounds. You'd expect Jolene to ride horseback and pitch hay and enter the Miss Teen Tomato Blossom pageant and have huge hair.
I for one would get very tired of having the song sung at me even just a few times. I'd get tired of having Roxanne sung at me if roxanne was my first rather than middle name. Even our daughter often gets "Valerie" sung at her now and then, though it doesn't seem to be as ubiquitous as other name songs. (I know someone whose name is very similar to Tom Dooley and he says he has been told to hang down his hed and cry several times.)
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
