Fist City
"Fist City" is a country music song written and performed by Loretta Lynn, released in 1968. Inspired by her husband's dalliances with other women who pursued him while she was busy touring, Lynn wrote the song as a warning for other women to stay away from him if they do not wish to be soundly beaten. It is one of several songs that got Lynn banned from the radio in the 1960s for her controversial themes. Composition and reception Lynn wrote "Fist City" in response to a woman who began pursuing her husband, Doolittle, while Lynn was frequently touring in Tennessee. The Lynns' marriage was often tumultuous; he threw her out of the house early in the relationship, ostensibly for her bad cooking.

Lynn wrote a letter to the other woman, who promptly showed it to Doolittle, who confronted Lynn, telling her to s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
