Just for a moment I thought this was going to be a video of both playing together.

I'd pay money to see that!

and what is exactly wrong with that flag? People might call me and like minded people ignorant for being proud of were we come from, However i call the people that call it a raciest flag ignorant. My family has been in Appalachia since the 1800's that is my heritage and i support it probably yet i'm not a raciest at all. think before you speak

@guitarpickinhellien I agree. I hate racism in any form. (Let's also secure the Northern border @ the political candidates....it has yielded far more 'fruit' from a terrorist standpoint than the Southern border effort has and is 1% secure...read up on it)

But even my own home state of Georgia has crumbled long ago on displaying it's past in regards to it's flag.

So, after that change -how are we to view our local cemetery laid out in a perfect "X" with Confederate dead?

Serendipity !! somehow this was accidentally videoed on our first home VHS video recorder in 1988 and we (the family mam,dad & myself and sometimes the brother & sisters) spent the next six to 12 months playing back and enjoying the Andy Kershaw interview with Dwight Yoakam. this brings back some very special memories !

@Clovergirl49 Same thing here.

@guitarpickinhellien Well, my DH's family have been in Georgia since the 1700s, and he points out that it is NOT a symbol of the South. Not at all. It is a CONFEDERATE battle flag. Likely not racist in se, but folks who will not let go of the confederacy even now (which could have peacefully avoided that war by allowing the gov't. to purchase the freedom of the slaves but refused to do what was right)...yes I can just hear the hateful comments now! What are those folks if not racist/ ignorant?

@djk28161 Dwight is a Kentucky guy through and through, born there and family wise but he graduated HS in Columbus from Northland according to Wikipedia but I thought it was Westerville South or North. That's what "Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23" is about. Rt 23 runs down through Columbus to Portsmouth then across the Ohio to KY. Not trying to argue with you, I just like claiming him as a Buckeye. I think he lived in Florence, KY for much of his childhood. But we'll claim him if we can.

@fancifulfilly He's a redneck in the sense of being simple and down to earth...but not the hate of minorities piece

[djk28161]

@SuperBuzz71 Dwight's from kentucky...went to college in Ohio

[warrenb0]

@guitarpickinhellien Well, *I* call anybody who spells 'racist' as 'raciest' ignorant.

[mrjasondylan]

and so you should be proud of that ol flag,its got a lotta history and great tradition,and as they say them colours dont run!!!!

[SuperBuzz71]

Trust me, Steve Earle has proven he not a racist. He's so liberal I have disagree with him most of the time. Probably the same for Ohio/LA Dwight. Great musicians now matter.
