Who was Molly Hatchet?

Question

Other than the music group, who was Molly Hatchet? I'm thinking she was related to the prohibition some how.

Answer 1

She's a legend. Purportedly, she was a 18th century Salem prostitute named Molly, who would behead her wealthy lovers with her "hatchet" and then dispose of their bodies. She was a common southern folktale, and then in the late 70's, a rock band from Jacksonville used her as their band name. They became relatively famous, and that's why most people have heard of her nowadays.

Answer 2

The band took its name from a legendary Southern prostitute who supposedly mutilated and decapitated her clients.

Answer 3

They were driving down the road and flirting with disaster

Answer 4

its just the band
