Ode to Billy Joe
Billy Joe confesses his love to the lovely Bobbi Lee only to cover his growing fear that he may, in fact, be homosexual. One night, at a barn dance, he gets drunk and gives into his desires and sexual relations with another man. The guilt causes him to run away and hide in the woods. Loosely based on the 1967 folk song by Bobbie Gentry, and set in the year 1953 in rural Mississippi.
