CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY:
Oops, looks like we forgot to mention yesterday's holiday (once again, not really a "holiday" unless you get it off work). Here's a bit about Confederate Memorial Day in Georgia. And for those about to break into song, here's a little history on "Dixie":
The irony about "Dixie" is that the five-verse song was written by a Northerner with little interest in politics, and whose parents were strict abolitionists.
...And for a minstrel show nonetheless. So instead of that crap, how 'bout celebrating by checking into real Southern music.
