Maybe the more old songs you carry around the harder it is to add new songs. One late arrival stuck. Red Dirt Road is a coming of age ballad by Brooks and Dunn. “Her daddy didn’t like me much, with my shackled up GTO.”
Well, I guess her daddy didn’t like Ronnie too much, but it probably didn’t have anything to do with the Pontiac suspension, so much as its spacious seating. It’s been objected that the GTO had coil springs and couldn’t be shackled up. But the GTO nameplate graced a variety of GM platforms and the ‘74 did have a multi leaf suspension that could be shackled, to raise the rear end.
