Ya know I never got into modern southern comics, but I do like Jerry Clower, there is just far too much of the stupid buzz phrase/word thing about them. It just makes me wanna break someone's teeth when I hear "Get 'er Done!", "You might be a Redneck...", "Here's your sign.", or even Ron White's (even though he is the only one I really have any respect for) tater salad which really wasn't a buzzword so his fans had to make it one. Sheesh. LOL!

I'm not southern in the way this discussion is going, but I was raised in the Coal Fields of Southwest Virginia, and there ain't a blasted thing Antebellum about that area, just coal dust, buried cars in yards, and house eating Kudzu. In fact I'm a bit of a mix between my Philadelphia raised daddy, and Buchanan County VA raised mamma, I was an army brat for three years, and the other thirty six years I've lived here.

I love kidding my recovering yankee friends, lookin' at you Madman, who have moved here about their yankeeness; however, I'm just pulling their leg. Those who are saving up their Confederate money in hopes that the south will rise again are making a bad investment.

I take a trip up to Jersey every year now to visit with my Dad's family, and who knows if things blow up down here, I may just move there at some point. I hope that doesn't happen, because I have tried to leave my beloved mountains three times, and always end up back here.

I remember how the late Lewis Grizzard, a great American, referred to them, "honkers" meaning loud and no class...................I miss that man.

I have every book he put out, Pat.

we have....Garrison Keillor... I stay neutral though...I'm in the U.P. so I'm cut off from the rest of the world...

Bill, I see you have good taste in Southers literature...........I think Wolfe, Williams Faulkner are far over rated, and 'Tobacco Road', well nothing needs said.

Having read Mr. Grizzards, a Great American, work you are familiar w/ the term 'honker'. That was from 'I Haven't Understood Anything Since 1962' if I'm not mistaken.

.................and if ya never had the opportunity and good luck and to have ever seen him live here's a small sample.

Garrison Keillor, we listen to him also, 'Prairie Home Companion', NPR Sat. @ 6:00 and Sun. morning @ 10:00. I'd put up a bit of him for comparison............however I'm listening to at this moment..............................

Garrison Keillor is alright. I've listened to his radio show for several years.
