Someone tell that one ignoramus from Virginia that what the anti- flaggers are doing is not "all-out war" on their ass wipe "stars and bars." All-out war is what my Yankee ancestors rained down on their chicken- fried asses, and sent their heroes home under a white flag of unconditional surrender.
'till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks againIn the winter of '65 we were hongry*, just barely aliveBy May the 10th Richmond had fellIt was a time I remember oh so well
*yes, I know it should be "hungry" but Levon did this with an authentic Ozark pronunciation. Which is one of the reasons a song written by a Canadian in the 1960's seems like an authentic period piece.
Yeah ... but I left it out because I wanted the Danville connection, and then "the night they drove old Dixie down, we were singing, la-la".
It's pretty broad cynicism, and gets missed a lot (it sounds like a pro-Southern song, until you actually know what the lyrics say).
The day, they pulled that damn flag down, and all the people were singing,They sang: ha, and a ha-ha-ha, ha-ha ha-ha and ha-ha-ha-ha.
(disclaimer: I grew up in Maryville, TN, where the main rival of the almost-all-white Maryville High was the almost-all-black Alcoa High, and the colors were red and black, and the emblem was the "rebel" flag (team name: Rebels). I hated it then, and still)
(also, the version by The Band is the one that resonates for me)
Oh. My. God.had no idea the stars and bars were flying ON PUBLIC PROPERTY just 60 miles up the Road from me.I'll be communicating my opinion on THAT matter to my very own Governor Gal tomorrow, count on it!
It is a heritage. One of evil, stupidity and violence. And some people are actually proud of that. i just destroyed the shift and caps keys lest i do something i would regret. aaaaaaahhhhhhh111111 i'm losing mind here11111 i just bit a chunk out of the desk i'm so angry111
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the jubilee!

Will they listen?
We don't like those darn Stanford trees, for example.

Ya lost, deal with it.
Best damn part of the joke.
A bunch of executions reduced enthusiasm for long term support of a lost cause.
Inbreeding will tell.
Got a match?
