MONTREAL, Quebec, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- A Canadian attorney is in hot water for singing "I Shot the Sheriff" outside the court where his client was on trial for killing a police officer.
The attorney was later spotted at a bottle return center singing "Redemption Song".
Speaking of the power of music to stir the soul, I'm reminded of the tale of one Richard Dickinson, who killed his mother, whom he believed to be the character Isis from the Bob Dylan song of the same name, while listening to "One More Cup of Coffee for the Road". After trampling her to death, he sprinkled her body with instant coffee.
When I first read about this in the paper, they said that he was found not guilty on grounds of insanity. Grounds of insanity? Oh, that's good stuff...
