Tom Russell's Hallie Lonnigan is in similar vein. If my grandkids heard one of these songs, I would sure like to open a discussion of domestic violence with them. I all too frequently hear news stories about a woman brutally murdered by a man with a restraining order against him. Sometimes a song like these just seems so inadequate.

Lot's of these abuse songs out there, for example. I hope that kids would be able to take away the message of these songs, not just see them as another "attitude" bar song. What do you do when reconcilliation has failed? JMHO.
