hootie & the rebel flag

In a UNC dorm room in 1994, I listened to the the South Carolina band Hootie & the Blowfish CD “Cracked Rear View” many, many times. 

One song, “Drowning” was about racism, but I never understood the first verse clearly, Darius Rucker kind of mumbles through it. 

But 21 years later, it’s timely. Very timely. 

Trouble with the world is we’re too busy to think about it, all right
Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin’ this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place

Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don’t look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see

P.E.’s coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They’re just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don’t care, you wish that they would quit

chorus:
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don’t look like you

Nanci singing it’s a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?

Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you’re my brother
You don’t walk like me, … you don’t talk like me, saying
Go back to Africa, I just don’t understand

(chorus)

I’m trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
I’m a man, I’m a man, I’m a man
No I’m not like you
Why do you hate me so
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Hating everybody else cause they don’t look like you  


This week I found an authentic vintage 90s Hootie & the Blowfish tour t-shirt with that lyric on back “Cause they don’t look like you.”  
I am glad there is no longer a rebel flag hanging from the statehouse walls. It’s a start.

widespread puppy

if you ever want to be popular, walk a puppy through the lobby of a westin hotel at 1 AM on new years eve.

we went to charlotte for widepsread panic on wednesday and sugarhoney came with us. she was the star of the city.

tongue out tuesday



while walking her past the nascar hall of fame, a cop drove by, leaned her full torso out the window, gave a thumbs up, and yelled “that is the best dog ever!”

kevin carried her on the elevator to avoid her scaring people in their fancy clothes.  a cop in the lobby saw this and said, “uh oh, is that dog too drunk to walk?”

dozens of people passing by stopped, turned around, and squealed “PUPPY!!!” to each other, asking to pet her. she just wagged her tail, cool as a cucumber.

one kind young man flyyyiiiiiing high on new years spirit on the full elevator grabbed her ears (lovingly), got nose to nose with her and yelled “YOU ARE JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE FUCKER!!!!!!”

the show was excellent, the band sounded great, the setlist was thoughtful, uplifting, and everybody was having a good time…

it was an awesome way to ring in the new year. 

best wishes for a healthy and happy 2015 to all!

WTF Wednesday: Jimmy Swaggart, Puppies with Jeans, Valentine Clouds

Good day, Wednesday! Good day, WTF!

Again the vintage gods have presented us with some fine record albums to ponder. 

 
 Jimmy Swaggart – I’ve Got Nothing to Lose. Oh yeah? Well then go right ahead meeting hookers at parkway motels, Mr. Swaggart! 

WTF?!

This is not so much WTF as I want to hang out with these people. 


Queen Ida and the Bon Temps Zydeco Band. Awesome outfits! Awesome faces!

I can’t get enough of these family gospel singers. The dad in this one is especially cool.


The Hansel Hensley Singers. Do they go as a group to buy suits? Were they instructed not to touch each other? Why is the kid standing on the bench?

Next up, Marshall Henson, Over the Next Hill.


I’m not sure about mountain climbing in those white snakeskin boots, but you go for it, Marshall!

Let’s move on to doggie items. How about a framed photo of a Lhasa Apso with glowing eyes stuffed in a Christmas stocking?


Hello K-9.

What cute German Shepherd puppies. What do they have there?

Jeans? They brought you your jeans and belt.


WTF?!

Last but not least, how about a giant, i mean giant, plug-in, whirring, wheezing, glowing HAPPY VALENTINE hearts and clouds installation? Just one Valentine’s day i’d like to wake up and find this in my kitchen.

 it’s really huge, like 6 feet tall, 10 feet wide.

WTF?!

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.
