Several people from my small town worked in the music business at Muscle Shoals. Just about any top ten from 65’ to 72’ had a song recorded there.
I was riding in a tour bus in Germany and/or Luxembourg, and the driver had some tunes on the speakers. One song played was “Sweet Home Alabama”. Kind of fun to be riding along in Germany listening to SHA.
Amen! “Toin’it up!”
“One of the best documentaries ever made is “Muscle Shoals””
Yes indeed. It’s amazing how many bands sought out a bunch of home grown musicians from a podunk town in Alabama to help them further their careers.
Its Brooklyn, with a bubble!
Redneck here, too. Bigly.
You just painted a picture of the hippies and their Leftsit poster child - BHO.
It does have one of the all time great opening guitar licks.
Heh!
Why, Donald Trump did it of course.

To me this was a key sentence (and it is reflected in the SNL sketch I mentioned):
After all, we can block out things we disagree with. We can unfriend people on Facebook, block them on Twitter, and decide not to let their negativity be a part of lives. For many progressives, this is the key to wellness.

Libs live in ‘safe space’ bubbles. They defriend anyone who disagrees with their worldview. They rely on Huff Po, Dem Underground, and other leftist sources for their ‘news’ so they have no idea what’s taking place in America or in the world.
These sites (and I visit all of them to see the spin) created a cartoon bad guy version of Trump (Hitler, basically).
Instead of an open dialogue and attempt to understand alternate points of view, liberals are bringing up children incapable of dealing with reality.
Bless their cotton pickin’ hearts!!!
Great article.. Thanks for posting.
Gawd! That’s hysterical. I was down at that Fairway a couple times after it opened (also the first time I realized how much that part of Red Hook had changed). All I remember besides the cheese and the bakery was that they had about 8 dishes of olive oils to sample (and pieces of bread to dip).
The place was ridiculously expensive and so far out of the way, that we stopped. We like healthier choices, but this was silly.

They say they are for the middle class and the working class, but they despise them.

I worked around plenty of liberals most of my career and nearly every one of them was disdainful of the common man. They have elitist attitudes and perceive themselves to be intellectually and morally superior to everyone else. Liberals have a sense of self-entitlement and feel that only they should be allowed to govern the masses.
