a corn pone for the painfully alone

Little Feat - Dixie Chicken

I'm not the most qualified to write about (or even appreciate) southern 70's rock. As far as I knew there was the song "Free Bird" and all the other songs "not-Free Bird". (thank you, David Spade's stand-up act)

Intolerance, and inbred racism notwithstanding, there's a certain chicken-fried romance about the Southern U.S., punctuated by moonshine and will-o-wisps. Seems to me the air would be thick with temptation; barndances at sundown, grits at sunrise, and fun stuff in between. Love is best when it's totally barefoot.

Alright, that's enough stereotyping.

But oh, the refrain is made far more enjoyable should you add immediately afterward, a rousing "craaaaaash into me!"

Of course I realize later that 'Simple Man' is the best Skynyrd song.

The south shall come again!
