reading Faulkner can be so hard but it's so rewarding when you make your way through it
John Grisham says he, Grisham, writes entertainment, and that Faulkner, instead, wrote art.
Grizzard wrote art.

A good college band memory was playing on the Grove for an Ole Miss/Georgia matchup after the game and being directed by a quite drunk but delightful Lewis Grizzard.
Good columnist, witty titles on his compilations.

This one always gets to me. I still read it once a year in remembrance of my own...

For many of the writin and sangin folks who I found passed out on my living room floor after a night of heavy drinking, I was alway sad that Mr Grizzard was not in that group.

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.
quote:
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."

I remember a couple of nice columns about Ole Miss. He seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.
