Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!
"Whether the slight was intentional or not, the selection was not appropriate," he wrote, noting that "Dixie" is often associated with slavery. "
In what universe is that?!?!?!
I still smile when I think of the story about how Jesse Helms started whistling Dixie when Carol Moseley Brown entered the Senate elevator with him.
O, I wish I was in the land of cotton Old times there are not forgotten Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. In Dixie Land where I was born in Early on one frosty mornin' Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Chorus: O, I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray! In Dixie Land I'll take my stand To live and die in Dixie Away, away, Away down south in Dixie! Old Missus marry Will, the weaver, William was a gay deceiver Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. But when he put his arm around her He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Chorus: O, I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray! In Dixie Land I'll take my stand To live and die in Dixie Away, away, Away down south in Dixie! His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver But that did not seem to grieve her Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Old Missus acted the foolish part And died for a man that broke her heart Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Chorus: O, I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray! In Dixie Land I'll take my stand To live and die in Dixie Away, away, Away down south in Dixie!
Maybe this Dem needs to concentrate on what passes for "Black" music today!
Actually, it's 80 square miles, surrounded by reality
...and don't forget..."Dixie" was written by a black man. So what're they bitching about NOW??!?
The hell you say. There is no apology needed for playing "Dixie." The hypersensitive professional victim should apologize to the band for the criticism, if anything!

That's the best description of MadTown I've ever heard.
She probably thinks aspirin is racist cause you have to pick cotton to get at it.
After Lee's surrender at a White House celebration Lincoln asked a band to play Dixie because he thought it was a nice song and didn't want it to be banned.
It isn't as if some deep voiced white man came with a boom stick and gathered up the blacks (to work on his corn farm). What a joke.
Coggs is just torked because Elvis 'sounded' more like a black singer!:-)
Hey, don't knock the King!
There ... fixed it. The Honorable (spit) Mr. Coggs' most definitive trait is not the colour of his skin, but the (lack of) content of his character.
Another poster has it right..."professional victims" I'm a southerner transplanted to the West side of Manhattan in New York City and if you think it's bad there just walk a mile in my shoes. I do push the envelope though; I have the "Stars and Bars" on my patio fence.
Well, then, don't associate it with that.
oh for gods sake somebody call the waaaaambulance on this moran.Who has that pic of the crying baby that says seal of the dnc ?someone ping that guy to this story.
do you mean the song dixie written by a BLACK man is rascist?Maybe this dem should resign and move into a cave high up on a mountaintop where the only company h e has are squirrels and raccooons then maybe he wont ever be offended again but he has clearly demonstrated that he is way to socially retarded to every be able to get along with normal humans in this society.
Why do the Dixie Chicks get such a warm reception from liberals?
