Alan Jackson grew up about 15 miles from my farmstead and I can tell you he
sings a lot of truth. The South gets a bad rap from people elsewhere mostly
from movies and tv. All I know about California is from what I saw on Chips
and a few Cheech and Chong movies and the same could be said about
other areas. If you have never really toured the South or any areas of the
country I don't see how they can really base an honest opinion of it.
I have been to downtown Atlanta and New Orleans and they are not good
examples of what goes on in small towns across the South. I know most of
us grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show and while it was a comedy it did
do a better job of showing what life was like in the South. You can still find
a little Mayberry in any southern city. You may have to hang out at the local
BBQ joint, attend a cruise in, a chilli cook off, a fish fry, a horse shoe
tourny, hang out at a hunting camp, go to a high school football game
watch a parade but you will find it. There are some real people down here.
A bunch of them. And they can all cook.
