I lived there for about nine months when I was a sophomore in high school. Hated. Mainly populated by descendants of Czech immigrants, very insular. They weren’t really crazy about outsiders.

Charlie Daniels Band- Trudy

quote:
Call up Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the mail
Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas
And they won't let me outta this jail

.....

Then I took off a running like a motorcycle
Heard the bullets whining and sirens wail
But it took half the cops in Dallas County
Just to put one coonass boy in jail

LINK ]Elmer Bernstein - "Theme from Hud"

Filmed in Claude TX (just east of Amarillo IIRC), this music/opening brilliantly captures the vibe of a small TX town
