What an inspiration. Maggie is gone, but let us pray that jury nullification lives on.

Jesse,
Thank you. You remind me of exactly what I love about this country, and that it has not yet parished from the earth. Most hopeful thing I've read in a long time (about her life that is, not her death).

Many years ago, I got to go for a spin in a true "Thunder Road" souped up and modified (with tanks and fortified suspension) car. A Chevvy, I think. The driver wasn't Robert Mitchum, but it was an experience to remember for me nonetheless. Happened near Elkin, NC.

A sad day for Harlan's youth. My friends and I were always at Mag's place to kick off the weekend. I was shocked to run across the article, as it has been over 15 years since I left Harlan. Mag was a saint.

Thanks for this item, Jesse. She sounds like a perfect subject for a bluegrass tune. I've already written one about the mildly famous West Virginia tough guy "Devil" John Wright, a song about this woman would be a nice bookend to that, if I can figure something out.
Self-promotion alert BTW you can hear that devil john tune at http://music.download.com/roomtomove. Thank you so much if you like the tune, otherwise, I'll live to fight another day, I guess...
