Well, there you have it. In this situation the people of Arkansas seem slightly less "misguided" in this sense since we've seen their governor climb to higher aspirations and reach new levels of lyin' cheatin' hypocrisy on the votes of all the American people. To pinpoint what I directly meant by with my original insult, just locate the area commonly referred to as the "Bible Belt". Actually now that I'm back on this subject, how about any area that had separate "white" and "colored" water fountains 30 years ago? I don't want to single out any individual politicians, but the difficulties the Civil Rights movement faced in the South showed not only a large degree of racism built into their social structure, but also a massive resistance to change. Of course 30 years ago was 30 years ago, but in my second-to-last trip down there (my last was filled with beer and garage music, no real complaints!), I was very much aware of a great "pride" in southern traditions. Much of my biases against Tennessee in particular stems from pointless run ins with the police four years ago who had nothing better to do than fuck with people with California license plates, and those miserable "dry" towns I drove through last summer. As for Merle Haggard, Greg, your defense was an informed one, so I'll just paste some of it below for those who might have overlooked it. "Same Train, Different Tune" is probably my favorite record of his. >"The Fightin' Side of Me" was a hit on the *national* Billboard charts in 1970. As far as Merle's politics leaving a little to be desired, again, I think you should probably take another look. Yeah, Merle upset (and pleased) a lot of people with his pro-military and pro-traditionalism songs of the era, but very few of the people who get angry about these songs take the time to note that Haggard also wrote and recorded an equal number of songs that would have to be considered "progressive" by anybody's measure. How 'bout "Irma Jackson," one of his better-known compositions, which laments the difficulties and societal hassles that confront a young inter-racial couple very much in love. Another song, "Go Home" addressed the same topic, also with a very sympathetic point of view. In short, Haggard is a much more complex and individualistic songwriter than he generally gets credit for, though I admit if you look only at songs like "Okie From Muskogee" and "The Fightin' Side Of Me" you're going to get a very skewed perspective.< >>Other rugged individuals like Townes Van Zandt and Jimmie Dale >>Gillmore thrived in the Austin scene. >I think the term is "rugged individualist," Yeah, well, I haven't met either of 'em, so I don't know how rugged they actually are.

Check out his Mercury 45s for some ravin', over-the-top screaming vocals... "Goin' Back To Miami" is almost soul-punk, and indeed was covered by The Unchained Mynds on Buddah, in a groovin' garage version. Wayne and his later '60s Biker band The C.C. Riders appear in the 1970 film C.C. and Company (on video under the ridiculous retitle of Chrome Hearts). This movie also stars Joe Namath and features a topless Ann-Margret (!!!). Wayne's crowning glory was his white pompadour, about as high off the top of his head as Esquerita's. I saw a late-60s lp of his with a hilarious shot of him laying on the floor under a table in some bar, pomp perfectly coiffed, belting out a song. He cut 45s for a number of labels including King and Chess, which are not too hard to find, but I like the Mercury ones best (he originally cut and wrote the death song "Last Kiss" too...). One of my favorite trashy finds is an autographed Mercury 45 by Wayne, which says, "To a soul Brother - Sincerely, Wayne Cochran". Anybody know if Wayne is still playing shows in some Vegas or Atlantic City lounge?

Didn't The Choir ("It's Cold Outside" etc) call themselves "The Mods" before changing their name? I haven't heard anything more from this group than the song I mentioned, but I read the info on the delerium psychedelic website. "Cold" certainly is a great pop song, by the way. I love it.
