Any SEC fans worth their salt should not go to the Sugar Bowl. Let the chocolate city be chocolate and spend white money elsewhere.
Appreciate you giving the rest of us a bad name. Thanks!

Also, I just looked up that it was written by a Canuck.
Levon pointed him in the right direction in regards to research... I think Levon specifically said that his goal was to make sure Lee wasn't painted in a negative light.

It segues beautifully from Dixie into the song. The song itself is beautiful. I like how Ralph Gleason described it:
quote:
Nothing I have read … has brought home the overwhelming human sense of history that this song does. The only thing I can relate it to at all is The Red Badge of Courage. It's a remarkable song, the rhythmic structure, the voice of Levon and the bass line with the drum accents and then the heavy close harmony of Levon, Richard and Rick in the theme, make it seem impossible that this isn't some traditional material handed down from father to son straight from that winter of 1865 to today. It has that ring of truth and the whole aura of authenticity

I didn't coin the term chocolate city. That was the elected black mayor that did that. And that term has certain implications about who is "in control" and who is welcome in that city. The current mayor, though white, is continuing that with his latest bitch boy stunt and then throwing a party while doing it.
If that's the view of the city - and obviously it is because that's who they elect - then the people that the city views as their underlings need to consider whether they want to spend money there. The vast majority of football fans, particularly those traveling to bowl games, are white. That's just how it is.
Didn't mean it to sound racist. That's my bad.
