The South: Not all Bubbas and banjos [View all]
The South: Not all Bubbas and banjosI thought this was the appropriate forum since it mentions Chattanooga, the movie Deliverance, and even talks about the way we vote. But I guess I could also have put it in Sports, LOL. I kind of generally love articles that are all over the place like this one is. Check it out. Hmmm, I could also put it in "Good Reads" I suppose.
The newest Masters champion is a proud Bulldog, a graduate of the University of Georgia. He owns the General Lee, the Confederate flag-emblazoned car from "The Dukes of Hazzard." And he loves God and his momma: He thanked the former and hugged the latter at the tournament's final playoff hole.
How much more Southern can you get?
"Bubba's name echoed as much through the pines on Sunday as the roars. He was embraced in this Southern town as if he drank, smoked, hunted and fished," wrote the Augusta Chronicle's Scott Michaux, before adding, "In truth, Bubba doesn't do any of those things."
That's the thing about the South. It's got all those stereotypes, but it confounds you at every turn.
