If he's from East Tennessee you would have thought he'd be smart enough not to put live oaks with Spanish moss on a plantation in Gatlinburg for Django

He was smart enough to know that 99% of the people watching the movie wouldn't know any better.

How the frick can you say WSP sucks unless you have horrible taste in music. They are one of the best jam bands of all time. I bet those same people also hate the Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, String Cheese, Yonder, Phish, STS9 etc.

Cormac McCarthy, Quentin Tarantino, even Kurt Vonnegut (he was a student at UT and mentions the Vols in his first book). KnoxVegas can actually claim a lot of folks.
