Sadly today he would have been cancelled out since he did not fit the approved narrative to be journalists.

True. I also don't think he would know what to do in this world. But, he saw it coming, as did his stepbrother, Ludlow Porch.

Talking about UGA's removing Dixie from it's repertoire of music as well as the name.

Georgia not only stopped playing the song, it even changed the name of the band formerly known as the Dixie Redcoat Band. It became simply the Redcoat Band.

That prompted my stepbrother, Ludlow Porch, the famous radio talk show personality, to fire off a letter to the editor suggesting the following:

"I applaud the dropping of 'Dixie' from the name of the University of Georgia band, but let us not stop there.

"How can we allow the word 'red' which stands for communism? And what about the word 'redcoat' itself, which is an affront to the memory of all those Americans who fought against the Redcoats in the Revolutionary War?

"And,'band.' Pancho Villa had a 'band' of desperadoes and we had to send brave young soldiers into Mexico after him. So, 'band' should go, too, and that just leaves 'the,' which is a dumb name for a large group of musicians, so I guess they're just out of a name altogether."
