William Zantzinger died recently. He was immortalized in the song 'The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll' as the wealthy killer who got a mere 6 months for killing the black maid. Perhaps it was the sight of Barack O. taking office which helped to see him off. Few, I suspect, will mourn his passing. Are there any other characters central to a song who will be (or have been) missed by so few when they finally exit this world or is he a one-off?
