you're in EXCELLENT company.

our former governor, Douglas Wilder, ALWAYS stands for "Dixie" (AND for our CSA flag) & nobody in VA (i don't think) sings "Dixie" LOUDER or WORSE, except me of course.

one of my favorite chuckles was a few(4-5) years ago when the governor & i were standing near each other at a CSA memorial ceremony in Richmond. a "nice lady" came up to the two of us & said, "it would be better if the two of you gentlemen stood QUIETLY at attention during the singing of Dixie. i've heard both of you TRY to sing." (DW & i both "cracked up". we did NOT sing that day.)

I don't believe I've seen any mention of Lynrd Skynrd's "Workin For MCA" on here. I think its a great song because it trashes Yankee know-it-alls. You have to listen close to the words, but its there!
