Listen to the Beatles track titled, "Rocky Raccoon" off of their White Album. Dicuss how the Beatles portray the wild west through song? Is their piece accurate

The Beatles portray the wild west as something a bit less of what you would see in a general movie. While the words they use would seem a bit too stereotypical and feel like a movie, the story gives a much more realistic setting of the wild west. I believe the song is more accurate than not to the wild west, because of the way it expresses the conflict and how Rocky attempts to resolve it. He goes through such basic, barbaric, and "wild" if you will steps in which to solve his problem. Problem occurs. Find problem. Kill problem with a gun. If in doubt use religion as something to fall back on. The simplistic ways of getting needs and solving problems were what gave the wild west its name, and what made it so dangerous. The way the characters are portrayed is also fairly realistic for the time. Such as the doctor, smelling of gin, simply lies Rocky down and wraps the bullet wound.
