Yes this is the right forum - SECRANT main forum


They hated that southerners of all stripes, black and white, loved each other's music.

And they had to divide and conquer us and shove fricking Billy Joel and Boy George and Toto down our throats

After listening to some southern rock, I can see why they squashed it. The stuff was terrible.

Southern rock bands didn't help themselves when they changed their music to be more "radio friendly" and with shitty albums.
