Maybe you can answer the question, since you two seem in sync. What does the 1970's country-pop hit, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" have to do with Sherman's march, other than both have a setting in Georgia? In what sense does a song about a man executed for killing his wife and her lover, a crime his sister really committed, lead someone to believe that it has "Sherman and his nasty adventures written all over them."?

Or is it possible that Mrs. Schwerin scanned down this list of titles, noted two that sounded like something bad happening in Georgia, and without having a clue about the actual contents of the songs, said "Harrumph, we'll just see about that!" and came on to claim that the song is somehow redolent of Sherman's march?

Don't get me started on "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" except to say that only someone utterly paranoid and obsessed would claim that the Devil in the song, challenging a boy to fiddling contest and losing, represents William T. Sherman.

Well...since you are Mr. Argument for the sake of an argument, I have absolutely no intention of answering you. Just toddle on over elsewhere for an answer, which of course you want no such thing. For if you did, you'd drop that high and mighty, I know everything attitude. And for future reference, I am not interested in entertaining any silly and nonsensical ideas or profound insights of yours. So please do not post to me with silly stuff...

i don't think i ever mentioned either song.

perhaps you're wearing your tinfoil hat today and/or you're just being a twit, as usual.

meanwhile, head over to DU & sup with the banned members of the "DAMNyankee coven". i believe you'll be MUCH happier there.
