Just for the record, I am NOT calling anyone stupid. I was just pointing out that Neil Youngs song was about the "stereotypical" Suouthern Man. Thats it. I did not mean to offend. I just thought there was the potential for an interesting conversation. By the way FatJ I didnt bring up stereotypes you...

Look this is not that hard of a concept to grasp. Yes Neil was right, then and now. There are SOME people in the south that are exactly the way Neil describes them. But, not ALL of them are.

I dont think Sweet Home Alabama in anyway justifies or glorifies the racial tensions of the South in any way. The part in the song about not needing Neil Young around was a direct response to N.Y. implying in his song Southern Man that everyone from the South is a back woods, uneducated, bigot. I th...
