    I do have to ask though....why do YOU think PJ won't play the south?

    Maybe a gentle reminder of what happened to Dixie Chicks who spoke openly about their political stance will help you form a conclusion.

    But since this isn't my battle, I will humbly take my leave of this discussion.

    the dixie chicks had to cancel tour dates all over the country due to lack of ticket sales, not just in the south. it's not like they're burning up the world and are a huge raging success everywhere except the south....


    aw fuck it. why do i bother?

    Please explain what you thought the response would be when you put down a large group of people based on stereotypes?

    I don't feel like any of the responses were hostile. I think the responses were defensive since you attacked everyone with one broad stroke.

    In fact there is one thing the south is known for throughout the world, and that is southern hospitality. If you want to experience it, you should apologize and watch how nice we can be.

    I saw no hostility....just decent folks correcting a world view that was more fictional than factual. The Dixie Chicks is irrelevant to this discussion. It was the radio corporations that manufactured the supposed "backlash" against the chicks.

    The reason you received some "gentle" hostility (and it was much more gentle than what you probably deserved) was a direct response to your uneducated tossing around of stereotypes. I encourage you to educate yourself more.


    More importantly people............... Lurkerpalooza continues through tomorrow. All lurkers should feel free to post and declare your love for PJ and your desire to see them make a triumphant return to The South.



    PLAY THE SOUTH
    just say no to ignorant stereotypes

    if this wont do it, i give up



    I have been planning out
    All that I'd say to you
    Since you slipped away
    Know that I still remain true
    I've been wishin' out the days
    Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
    I wouldn't have lost you another way
    From wherever you are
    Oh oh oh oh
    Come back

    some of the best shows they"ve played have been south baby. Its been a while since i posted my thoughts-thanks man for upsetting what was a great day.

    ~Just try. Try to name a part of the country -- or the world, for that matter --that's done more for music in the last 150 years than these Southern United States.

    We birthed the blues. We launched rock 'n' roll. We've been the seat of gospel, the bastion of bluegrass, the home to the world's hottest hip-hop. We've dug deep down to our Nappy Roots, fostered Stephen Foster, screamed "Sweet Home Alabama" and gotten straight-up Ludacris, from Memphis to Mobile to Uncle Tupelo.

    Southern music encompasses all kinds of styles, yet it hangs together as a coherent genre. Nobody's ever heard of New England music or Midwestern music, but down here we know that rock can have soul and rap can be country, and even wimpy folk can count so long as it's got Carolina in its mind. Southern music's more of a sensibility than a sound.

    The South is about big ideas (like pain and redemption) and small pleasures (like the look of grandma's hands). The South is also increasingly diverse -- racially, economically and politically.

    If our music has a common thread, it's the thread of hope -- hope that this mystical land won't lose all that's made it special and that it's not too proud to admit when it's wrong. Those are some big challenges. But they're nothing the music can't handle.

    Peace you southern PJ freaks.


    I came late to this post, a couple of hectic weeks at work, but thank you for making my Friday afternoon. The South is my home and no matter how far I travel, no other place will be as lovely or welcoming. For someone who is looking to return to her hometown after a many year absence, truly, I will experience pain, redemption, and the memory of my grandmother's hands...tatting a lace border for a dress she made for me.

    Indeed, there is nothing the music can't handle and no where else that I would rather be.
