rocky racoon

the song rocky racoon by the beatles has a wild west theme to it . its about a man rocky racoon and another guy stole his girl, he is not really mad and upset at this other guy, dan. so it eventually leads up to a showdown and dan shot first. this song actually historically accurate to an extent like i dought this is how all problems were resolved back then but there is a reason the wild west was called the WILD west. crazy things were happening like showdowns where men would have gun battles like described in the song. but in this time period there was loose laws, everything was untamed, people were still fighting over territories which seems to be to most prized possesion of the time. so this song by the greatest band of all time has historical accuracy about it they most likely didnt do it on purpose they probably did it off a stereotype in there mind that back then everyone had showdowns and stuff but theres truth in every stereotype so these crazy things really did happen its just more exagerated today
