WLEM AM

Where you takes your chances.





By yon bonnie banks an' by yon bonnie braes
Whaur the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Whaur me an' my true love will ne'er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.

The story within the story:

Parton says that she got the story for her song from another redhead in her life at the time — a bank teller who was giving Parton's new husband a little more interest than he had coming.

"She got this terrible crush on my husband," Parton says. "And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention. It was kinda like a running joke between us — when I was saying, 'Hell, you're spending a lot of time at the bank. I don't believe we've got that kind of money.' So it's really an innocent song all around, but sounds like a dreadful one."


The shorter version, wiki style, centers on "her husband's apparent vulnerability to the teller's charm."

Well, at least he never made a deposit.

As far as I know he's still touring with his
all-male band and his all-female band, and playing with The Dead Weather.

Meg had to stop touring because of severe social anxiety. Not sure, but maybe he was ready to move on. I mentioned before that she married Patti Smith's son at Jack's house in Nashville a little while back.
