The rest of the article was decent, but one misstatement can put a damper on the whole thing.

"His remarks about "Dixie" :
"The old chestnut about the longing for a mythical homeland is ... a lie, because the place was never as idyllic as it's envisioned..."
How wrong he is!"
You are being disingenuous.
You have excerpted the quote to your satisfaction.
The actual quote is thus...
"The old chestnut about the longing for a mythical homeland is both a lie -- because the place was never as idyllic as it's envisioned and because it ignores those for whom it was never meant to be idyllic -- and so beautiful that you want to believe the land described in the song had to exist at some time, just as you want to believe the "patriots' dream" of "America the Beautiful" can someday be realized."
Your agenda is now known.

Why don't you put something on your
homepage so that we will know a bit
about you?
At the very least...fly your flag.

My old stand-by is Old Charter.
Booker's is hard to beat at the high end, but I also like WT's Rare Breed.
