This world once existed, although actual people, places, songs and dates have been impossibly rearranged, even distorted, by Pamela to tell her story. An entirely fictional account about the tragic arc of Billy Turner's short life, it is definitely a tribute to the music of so many of the lively inspired people who brought us Rock and Roll.
Pamela's Song is
also a thank you to the women I have known who answered my unasked questions.
Without them, my life would be much poorer. In the end, perhaps like Patsy
Cline, Pamela is singing about the courage and desperate dignity of the broken
hearted. There are so many, maybe every one of us in some way or another at
some moment in our lives. Come what may, she and Patsy know that it is better
to have loved and better still, to try to love again.
