Yeah, I know... He's politically incorrect... He's a racist... He's this and he's that... And, yeah, to some extent he is everything that folks say he is but...

...having just found (and borrowed) 4 LPs that my late brother-in-law owned of this guy and having listened to two of them last night, the guy certainly had a lot of story tellin' talent, too...

I really haven't heard anything that I would consider racist yet although it could be argued that with his usage of Southern black dialect that he is making fun of black folks but...

...hey, we got white rappers using black dialect today and we don't go calling them racists... And being a blues man I have a lot of black dialect in me and I know I ain't no racist either...

Bottom line??? The guy had a real gift of making fun of just about everyone Southern, himself included...

(Note: Of course, I could listen to the two other LPs tonight and come back tomorrow with an entirely different view of the guy...)
