At the time, Nashville was known to the outside world as a harmlessly boisterous place with good music. But in its political culture the corruption was inescapable, and, like the city itself, carnivalesque. A former governor, Ray Blanton, had gone to federal prison for selling liquor licenses.

Thomas so thoroughly embodied the city’s official venality that Nashvillians took to calling him Boss Hogg, for the character in the “Dukes of Hazzard” TV show. For years, he was investigated by the F.B.I. for diverting public funds to pay for personal expenses and for using county employees to staff, among other things, his private barbecues. Locals revelled in his notoriety.
