    I don't know from Mississippi. I was raised in New Jersey.
    But I'd rather work than not work.

    Mound Bayou is still one of the poorest counties in the nation.

    Cultural wasteland?

    Guess you weren't thinnking about the literary, architechtural, culinary or musical histories here, huh?

    Sure, we ain't got Broadway, but we gave you the blues.

    Nah, I'll meet you at Corinth. We fared a little better (but not much) there.

    Well, at least you can joke about it. We were in Charleston -- lovely city -- at the aquarium, and I guess that's where you catch a boat or something to Fort Sumter. There's an information booth, too. I told my wife, who went to college in the South, that I was going to go over to that information booth and say, "So is this where you folks commited treason against the United States of America?" She said, "Don't you dare! They have no sense of humor about the War of Northern Aggression down here! They'll kill you!"

    I'm never inviting you to Keeneland. The best gift to people ever given.

    Ahhhh, Keeneland.

    In several years of visiting Lexington I somehow never made it to Keeneland. Drove past the entrance many times going to and from Blue Grass Airport - right across the street for those that don't know, but never went to the track/horse farm.

    What would you do
    If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom
    What would you do
    If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice

    Would you think about all them people
    Who gave up everything they had.
    Would you think about all them War Vets
    And would you start to feel bad

    Freedom isn't free
    It costs folks like you and me
    And if we don't all chip in
    We'll never pay that bill
    Freedom isn't free
    No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee.
    And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
    Who will?

    What would you do
    If someone told you to fight for freedom.
    Would you answer the call
    Or run away like a little pussy
    'Cause the only reason that you're here.
    Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
    So maybe now it's your turn
    To die kicking some ass

    Freedom isn't free
    It costs folks like you and me
    And if we don't all chip in
    We'll never pay that bill
    Freedom isn't free
    Now there's a have to hook'in fee
    And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
    Who will?

    You don't throw in your buck 'o five. Who will?
    Oooh buck 'o five
    Freedom costs a buck 'o five

    It's okay. We know the rest of the nation is jealous that we can go barefoot (or wear Birkenstocks) most of the year.
