Athens Georgia's
Not what I had in mind

I live in Athens, GA.

Rather like it. It's actually a college town, featuring the large and well-respected University of Georgia wherein people study business, law, science, art, agriculture, etc. and end up improving the human condition. The downtown area features lots of fine dining and upscale shopping. Athens is also noted as a major pop-music incubator (rather ironic for the DCs to bash it) which has produced REM and the B52s, among other successful acts.

Hardly a lame backwater hicksville. Actually, it's more the American Dream.

How coincidental. As home to a Big12 school ourselves, your entire post is how many people describe Lubbock. It sounds like our communities are the perfect places to be married and raising 2.3 kids and a dog/cat. I guess that's just too "uncool" for Natalie.

By the way, I thought it was funny that she made fun of the "patriotic" line, "This land is our land", which is actually written by the commie sympathizer Woody Guthrie.

I would think the Dixie Chicks would find a lot of their fans in such towns--especially among professors in the humanities and social sciences.

Beautiful town and the locals were VERY nice while I was there.
