Billy, Joey, & Delta Dawn go to the Copacabana: Story Songs of the 1970s: Join us today for the preservation of songs about car crashes, train accidents, shipwrecks, deadbeat dads, jail time, basic heartbreak and lots and lots of murder -- in an episode dedicated to the story songs of the 1970s. From Joey and Billy to Daddy and the sheriff, not to mention a hundred yellow ribbons and the Harper Valley PTA, people have been telling stories with songs for centuries; but the 1970s took that tradition and turned it into top 40 gold. Tune in to find out which of these songs grabbed us by the ears and stomped on our hearts in every which way. And we dare you not to sing.
