Anyone watched Reginald D Hunter's "Songs Of The South" which is still on I-player? He states at the start that when he left the US to come to Britain he hated the south! I've watched the first two so far. In the first he seemed to be surprised that he enjoyed himself amongst hillbilly fiddle players and banjo pickers! In the second he is in his home state of Georgia and attends a Lynryd Skynyrd gig mixing with both the band pre-concert then concert goers too. Near the end of the gig he turns to the camera and says something like "sheesh there sure are a lot of confederate flags in here" and turns away - but then looks back saying "but a lot of really nice people". He also said that making the programme was the first time he came to truly appreciate the white southerners simple and basic pride of place! Not sure what I am saying but it was just a coincidence that I saw this today. |
