Which union do you belong to?

Southern Rock differs from standard Rock in its regional mix of conservatism and rebellion. It is defined by political incorrectness: maleness, whiteness, sexism, racism, and a flaunting of Confederate flags, mixed with a more positive regional pride. I can imagine the great praise for "Gangsta Rap" that some one will will find on this website...

Don't play the victim/boycott game. Nice plug for your Web site though.

[...] if Brand X music store on the corner said anything half as racist and bigoted in a Rap artist's bioLet me try. "Rap differs from music in its pre-civilized lack of melody or harmony. It is defined by thuggery: sexism, racism, and a flaunting of violence and inebriation, mixed with a nothing positive whatsoever."

What happens is a company like Walmart will hire a contractor to do data conversions and alter descriptions to make them unique. Obviously they hired the wrong guy.

I just called WalMart Headquarters, 800-925-6278, and lodged a complaint. I urge others to do the same.
To: shuckmaster
Mall*Wart censors the movies they sell. Why would you even consider buying music from them? To save 11 cents?
Try Napster.

Actually, it's a far from a true description. Southern rock owes a great deal to classic black rythym and blues, and makes no racist overtures as far as I know. Skynard's
Sweet Home Alabama states:
In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
They're talking about George Wallace, so does this make them racist? About the same time the band wrote this song, Wallace had given up on segregation and apologized to blacks. In fact, his last election as Governor saw him receive a majority of black votes.

Wal-Mart does not censor the movies they sell. They do, however, sell "clean" versions of music.

"Skynard's Sweet Home Alabama..."
You do realize this song was written in response to Neil Young's 'Southern Man', and even mentions Neil Young in the lyrics.
To: LanPB01
I may be wrong, but I believe Mall*Wart insists on studio-modified versions of movies to fit their "tastes". (The high percentage of lard-butts blocking the aisles wearing lime-green stretchie things indicates we don't share the same tastes.)
I hope someone can enlighten me if I've got it wrong.

Attention: Wal-Mart Shoppers
Shucky if you want to make the joke funny, you left out some obvious referneces.
First, you left out the word "all", and left out the reference to the blue light.
Obviously you with this thread are trying to take off the promotion and subsequent jokes that followed K-Mart in the late 70's.
Now to make this thread to have some humor it should state, IMO.
Attention all Wal-Mart shoppers(in a blue font)
Oh yeah Shucky, I also know that your anti-Wal-Mart point is masked with some pseudo Confederate pride, but sheesh, don't talk down to audience, OK.

The reason I'm almost sure of the fact that Wal-Mart movies aren't altered from their theatrical release (other than the large number of movies I've bought there) is because of the fierce manner the MPAA protects their films. A few years ago, a company tried to sell "family friendly" movies with the profanity and the nudity edited out, and the MPAA went nuts.

I remember that; I think it was a single store or small chain, and they were copying the movies onto blank tapes IIRC, editing out the "bad stuff". That's messing with copyright.
Mall*Wart, IIRC, insists on a MW version of the tape/DVD from the studio, or they don't carry it. Like the CDs.
Like I said, I may be hallucinating this, but hope someone will help me out here.
