    I am fairly confident Brendon O'Brien lives here too. Not to mention great places for good southern food like Fat Matt's rib shack, swallow at the hollow, green woods among the many others out there!

    Subject: SMILE - HOW A SOUTHERNER THINKS.


    In an effort to help outsiders understand the rules of the Southerner's
    mind, the following list will be handed to each person as they enter a Southern State. (These actually should be the rules in all states.)

    1. That farm boy you see at the gas station did more
    work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym.

    2. It's called a "gravel road." No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lincoln Navigator. Drive it or get it out of the way!

    3. The red dirt -- it's called clay. Red clay. If you like the color, don't wash your car for a couple weeks -- it'll be permanent.

    4. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah,
    we saw that Bambi movie, too. We got over it.

    5. Pull your pants up! You look like an idiot.

    6. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it
    rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of
    ham and turkey.

    7. Tea -- yeah, we have tea. It comes in a glass over ice and it's sweet.
    You want it hot? Set it in the sun. You want it unsweetened? Add a lot of
    water.

    8. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over
    ice!

    9. You have a sixty-thousand-dollar car. We're real impressed. We
    have a quarter of a million-dollar combine that we only use two weeks a year.

    10. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when
    it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

    11. We eat dinner together with our families. We pray before we eat--yeah,
    even breakfast. We go to church on Wednesdays and Sundays, and we go to
    high school football games on Friday nights. We still address our seniors
    with "yes, sir" and "yes, ma'am," and we sometimes still take Sunday
    drives around town to see friends and neighbors.

    12. We don't do "hurry up" well.

    13. Greens -- yeah, we have greens, but you don't putt on them. You boil
    them with salty fatback, bacon or a smoked hog jowl.

    14. Yeah, we eat catfish, bass, bream, and carp. You really want sushi and
    caviar? It's available down at the bait shop.

    15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like
    it? Interstate 75 goes two ways. Interstate 40 goes the other two. Pick
    one.

    16. Grits are corn. You put butter, salt, and maybe even some pepper on
    them. If you want to put milk and sugar on them, then you want cream of
    wheat -- go to Kansas. That would be I-40 West.

    17. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season or dove season.
    Both are holidays. You can get pancakes, cane syrup, and sausage before
    daylight at the church on either day.

    18. So every person in every pickup truck waves? Yeah, it's called being
    friendly. Understand the concept?

    19. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks
    the fish and bothers the gators --and, if you hit it in the rough, we have these things called diamondbacks, and they're not baseball players.

    20. That Highway Patrol Officer that just pulled you over for driving like
    an idiot --his name is "Sir" no matter how young he is.

    21. We have lots of pine trees. They have sap. It drips from them. You
    park your darn Navigator under them, and they'll leave a souvenir on your
    hood.

    i'll say again:

    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.

    so c'mon down PJ we'll welcome you with a table of great food and sweet tea with fresh mint!
    “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.”
