    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 fellas let's get ya down here early 2007-it ain't the growin season, but we'll feed you real good. Take care PJ nation-goodnight and peace.

    Had to dodge all the sand hill cranes in my father's neighborhood. One of those beige pristine developments. Birds make it interesting.

    You have a right to be upset...... and just think how Romo feels. After having lived in Seattle for four years, I have to admit I was pulling for the Seahawks, but it was a cheap win. Still, a win is a win - especially in the playoffs.

    At least you know you have a good qback for next year. I'm originally from Miami and a huge Dolphins fan. We don't even have a coach! :) You guys took him! But all's fair in love and war ..... and football is war!
