Enjoy.

I’m not a violent man, but I just want to slap everyone I ever see wearing a Confederate flag because they think it’s a real rock’n'roll thing to do. It’s not cool, it doesn’t mean you’re an anti-authoritarian, and it sure as shit ain’t rock’n'roll.*

What you really tell the world when you wear this icon is that you think slavery is such a good idea you’re willing to go to war over it, and if some damn Yankee wants to take your slaves away they’ll have to pry them from your cold, dead fingers.

On a lighter note, I’m happy to report that the South Postpones Rising Again For Yet Another Year. Hallelujah!

* Early rock and roll owes a great debt to the contributions of black musicians who would not have had the right to form bands of any type if the Confederacy had had its way. What a musically depressed world we would live in if that had been the case, some dreadful hybrid of Wagner & Lynyrd Skynyrd I imagine.
