You can still get honest 90-proof sour mash in a black label, only not from the Jack Daniels distillery.

as I recall in the 70s, the Student Union at LSU had a tap.

As a boy in Jackson MS, we would drive over to PJ's Last Chance right across the old river bridge from Vicksburg and buy all sorts of liquor...at 15

went to NOLA without parents for a football game tween Jackson Prep (me) and Riverside or Sam Barthe....and nobody in the Quarter carded.....nobody.....my junior year

I live about an hour or so from Lynchburg.....very pretty town. Little Richard has retired to a farm there....that seems odd.

Now that you remind me, I think I heard that one. LSU used to like that pose of the roue' sophisticate. Mostly they cultivated it on the advice of their daddies' political counselors, IMHO, since most of them were political sons sent down from the Long Machine parishes to learn how to steal, deflower, and get away with it.

Politics, IOW.

The posture was intended to overawe the country people. Who weren't as overawed as they thought, and mostly followed elections for the entertainment value.

Well...can’t say that I can add much about the booze.
I do remember going to the quarter where no one was carded, but I didn’t drink. ;o)
WKB will surely have something to add, I bet. lol

I backtracked through the posts, and saw a mention of a Goat.
Now...THAT I know a little bit about.
Had a ‘68...to me the most beautiful car in the world.
