childhood, tall trees, wide fields, butterbeans, soybeans, rc cola, nilla wafers, spoonbread

abbeville, alabama, where i learned how to walk, and then run, mussel shoals, alabama, knowing WHAT mussel shoals was at age 4 and getting saved by it like bezillions of us, honoring it along with a few other Southern cities as having birthed this nation's biggest cultural contribution to the world: ITS POPULAR MUSIC born from THE BLUES

jukeboxes on tabletops, neon signs, shotgun shacks, fender telecasters, fender strats, six strings, thank you for them...

not glorifying redneck mentality, but instead talking about the south's painful and ugly history, it's there, admit it, go to the civil rights museum at the lorraine hotel today and LOOK

roadtrips away from my hometown and away from my perspective, re-evaluating my assumptions

bugs bunny and split wood fences, chicken coops and sweet tea, pressure cookers and gardens, crickets, cicadas, the dust that covers your knuckles when you knock on the door of an old trailer whose white paint is oxidizing

snoozing safely with my daddy in the 1820 house he restored while it stormed outside and walnuts plopped on the galvanized steel roof, riding with my parents down long dirt roads so they could sit outside with very old black men + watch them make white oak baskets, then seeing my father pay fairly for them

porch swings and tree wings, dragonflies and grackles

vengeance, gun racks, knives, and visions of revenge

getting over it by popping a couple of longnecks + smiling till it sticks
Sounds Like: an 18-wheeler takin out guard rail with a messa bootleg whiskey in the back...
