Versuri The Three Great Alabama Icons




The Three Great Alabama Icons Drive-By Truckers I grew up in North Alabama, back in the 1970ââ¬â¢s, when dinosaurs still roamed the earthââ¬Â¦ Speaking of course of the Three Great Alabama Iconsââ¬Â¦ George Wallace, Bear Bryant and Ronnie Van Zantââ¬Â¦ Now Ronnie Van Zant wasnââ¬â¢t from Alabama, he was from Floridaââ¬Â¦ He was a huge Neil Young fanââ¬Â¦ But in the tradition of Merle Haggard writinââ¬â¢ Okie from Muskogee to tell his dadââ¬â¢s point of view about the hippies ââ¬Ën Vietnam, Ronnie felt that the other side of the story should be told. And Neil Young always claimed that Sweet Home Alabama was one of his favorite songs. And legend has it that he was an honorary pall bearer at Ronnieââ¬â¢s funeralââ¬Â¦ such is the Duality of the Southern Thingââ¬Â¦ And Bear Bryant wore a cool lookinââ¬â¢ red checkered hat and won football gamesââ¬Â¦ and thereââ¬â¢s few things more loved in Alabama than football and the men who know how to win at itââ¬Â¦ So when the Bear would come to town, thereââ¬â¢d be a parade. And me, I was one aââ¬â¢ them pussy boysââ¬Â¦ cause I hated football, so I got a guitarââ¬Â¦ but a guitar was a poor substitute for a football with the girls in my high schoolââ¬Â¦ So my band hit the roadââ¬Â¦ and we didnââ¬â¢t play no Skynyrd eitherââ¬Â¦ I came of age rebellinââ¬â¢ against the music in my high school parkinââ¬â¢ lotââ¬Â¦ It wasnââ¬â¢t till years later after leavinââ¬â¢ the South for a while that I came to appreciate and understand the whole Skynyrd thing and its misunderstood gloryââ¬Â¦ I left the South and learned how different peopleââ¬â¢s perceptions of the Southern Thing was from what Iââ¬â¢d seen in my lifeââ¬Â¦ Which leads us to George Wallaceââ¬Â¦ Now Wallace was for all practical purposes the Governor of Alabama from 1962 until 1986ââ¬Â¦ Once, when a law prevented him from succeeding himself he ran his wife Lerline in his place and she won by a landslideââ¬Â¦ Heââ¬â¢s most famous as the belligerent racist voice of the segregationist Southââ¬Â¦ Standing in the doorways of schools and waging a political war against a Federal Government that he decried as hypocriticalââ¬Â¦ And Wallace had started out as a lawyer and a judge with a very progressive and humanitarian track record for a man of his time. But he lost his first bid for governor in 1958 by hedging on the race issue, against a man who spoke out against integrationââ¬Â¦ Wallace ran again in ââ¬â¢62 as a staunch segregationist and won big, and for the next decade spoke out loudlyââ¬Â¦ He accused Kennedy and King of being communists. He was constantly on national news, representing the ââ¬Ågoodââ¬Â people of Alabamaââ¬Â¦ And you know race was only an issue on TV in the house that I grew up inââ¬Â¦ Wallace was viewed as a man from another time and placeââ¬Â¦ And when I first ventured out of the South, I was shocked at how strongly Wallace was associated with Alabama and its peopleââ¬Â¦ Ya know racism is a worldwide problem and itââ¬â¢s been since the beginning of recorded historyââ¬Â¦ and it ainââ¬â¢t just white and blackââ¬Â¦ But thanks to George Wallace, itââ¬â¢s always a little more convenient to play it with a Southern accent. And bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd attempted to show another side of the Southââ¬Â¦ One that certainly exists, but few saw beyond the rebel flagââ¬Â¦ And this applies not only to their critics and detractors, but also from their fans and followers. So for a while, when Neil Young would come to town, heââ¬â¢d get death-threats down in Alabamaââ¬Â¦ Ironically, in 1971, after a particularly racially charged campaign, Wallace began backpedaling, and he opened up Alabama politics to minorities at a rate faster than most Northern states or the Federal Government. And Wallace spent the rest of his life trying to explain away his racist past, and in 1982 won his last term in office with over 90% of the black voteââ¬Â¦ Such is the Duality of the Southern Thingââ¬Â¦ And George Wallace died back in ââ¬â¢98 and heââ¬â¢s in Hell now, not because heââ¬â¢s a racistââ¬Â¦ His track record as a judge and his late-life quest for redemption make a good argument for his being, at worst, no worse than most white men of his generation, North or Southââ¬Â¦ But because of his blind ambition and his hunger for votes, he turned a blind eye to the suffering of Black America. And he became a pawn in the fight against the Civil Rights causeââ¬Â¦ For tunately for him, the Devil is also a Southernerââ¬Â¦
