"She's Got a Ticket to Ride" -The Beatles
While this song does not necessarily connect with Dewey Dell's situation, it has been in my head throughout this entire project and it seems fitting enough to be added to this playlist. One interpretation about the song "She's Got a Ticket to Ride" by the Beatles is that it is about a girl who is pregnant and wants to keep the child even though she "has a ticket to ride" or she has the opportunity to get an abortion. The word "ride" refers the town of Ryde in London. According theorists, Ryde is where police would send prostitutes to "get clean" so it's easy to see how people might infer that the song is about abortion. Dewey Dell definitely does not have that option in her situation. She also does not have a loving boyfriend that sticks with her through it all either.
