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.
You cain't, child. There ain't none.
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.
I love this band and i hope they do travel to the south and enjoy this great part of the country-Take care of each other out there where ever you are.
love and peace to the PJ nation.“It’s the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble. It’s seeing all those sunsets that does it. You can’t watch a sunset and then go off and set fire to your neighbor’s tepee. Living close to nature is wonderful for your mental health.”

New Orleans 'aint all gone. Please come back. Besides the guy in Rolling Stone said that the N.O. boot was one of the best, and I was there and it was a great time. Ed might not remember it (red wine, much) but I'm sure the rest of the guys do. I know Mike does. We've been through so much- please don't deny us our PJ.
...and besides, Kerry won in New Orleans and Baton Rouge- just the rest of the state screwed it up.
It's all about the music...
