They'd be terribly unhappy, and it would break my heart to see them that way. For their own happiness, I would implore them to stay in California....
“You forgot to mention the proliferation of tobacco use and country western music. Surely those California people would never have any interest in relocating to this part of the country.”
And terribly unhappy about country music? Seriously? You ever hear of Buck Owens or Merle Haggard? They lived most of their years five miles east of Bakersfield, Ca. in the Kern River Canyon. For many years you could go hear them and many other C&W stars down at the Blackboard honkytonk in Bakersfield. This whole area is dustbowl descendants and they are the ones they coined the term “redneck” for. Heh, RFD is our favorite tv channel. Gotta watch those old Hee Haw reruns.
