I've been to a lot of college football games and heard many marching bands. Nothing sent chills up my spine like hearing Dixie at Ole Miss. We will keep retreating until there is no where to retreat to. This is a nation of cry babies suffering from micro aggressions.

Can someone explain to this Yankee why the song is deemed offensive?
It's the theme song of American enslavement of blacks?

Why do you think that was? Was it the song in and of itself or the fact that the song has a deep history?
(Personally, Stanford's All Right Now does lots more for me but you can't account for personal taste, or the the fact that that power chord wasn't invented when Dixie cam out.)

Her ancestors were vicious Massachusetts congregationalists. I think she is hard wired.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
The Band
Virgil Kane is the name
And I served on the Danville train
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see,
There goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now, I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night…
RIP...

If that's your reason for not going, stay home.

Is that "go HOGS go" @ the end?
