    I'm as Liberal as The Next Guy, But- REALLY?!

    Getting "concerns" because we play Dixie Chicken. WTF is next? Unfreakin' believable.

    Good wholesome songs like good morning little school girl are a much safer bet.

    My grade school years, I lived in Southern Maryland, even the R&R bands played Dixie sometime during their show!

    I imagine "If the South would have won, we'd have it made" wouldn't go over too well!. I've actually performed that song on request at a gig.

    Edit: Our singer knew that request was coming, as he had printed out the lyrics in advance, as they are quite wordy.

    "Why can't we all get a long-neck" lol, I have also recorded that song. A great Hank Jr. tune.

    These are different times.

    I think the main reason we don’t get targeted by beer bottles and cast out of the stage when we play most early 70s Stones songs is that most of the people in the audience don’t understand English well enough.

    The Blue Coats, Union soldiers from the north. The opposite of Dixie Chicken.
    "If you'll be my blue coat chicken, I will be your Tennessee lamb," OK, it's a bit of a reach, LOL.

    The Bok Bok Chicky Bok was just thrown in there for extra "chicken value."

    As a native Nashvillian and now rural-Tennessean, I can tell you most assuredly that we have few lambs, but millions of pigs, cows, horses, snakes, and deer ticks. This isn’t Wales or Israel.

    Lowell George should have sung the line more truthfully as, If you’ll be my Dixie chicken, I’ll be your Tennessee cotton mouth.
    If we'd known we were going to be the Beatles, we'd have tried harder.--George Harrison
