I've never heard of Tara's Theme. I Googled it and listened but the tune was unfamiliar so, frankly, I don't give a damn.


Ha that's good.

I've stayed to listen to the post game 'concert' many times. The Tara theme and the band swaying to it is really powerful. I'm sorry to see it go. But I can see how paying homage to a time when the black students' ancestors could have been owned by their white classmates' ancestors would be a sensitive subject. Even if nobody else even know what the hell the band was playing the black band members would know and i doubt they appreciate it.

Im sure everybody thought the sky would fall when UGA integrated and again when they band dropped Dixie etc. Now everybody's butt hurt over this. But it will be ok. UGA and Athens will still be just as magical and awesome. And by God we gonna win a Natty.

I hate it because it seems the effort here is to erase our history. Our history is what has shaped to south to be unique...good and bad. We should embrace it.

Black and white our heritage is unique and should be celebrated...not discarded.
