Talk of the South
Robbers, Bankers, Bandits, Kings
(a valentine of sorts)
Robbers lives are filled with naught
living on what others bought
sneaking in your house at night
and taking everything in sight.
Bankers make their wealth in loans
of which you pay them back with moans

‘Maggie’s Farm’ (Rockin’ The White House, part 1)
Five presidential administrations later than we might have thought, Bob Dylan plays The White House on Wednesday, February 10.
It’s a great honor for Dylan, albeit long overdue. A White House gig seemed most likely during the Jimmy Carter Administration (1977-81). After all, Carter mentioned Dylan’s name often in his first presidential campaign.

Your Southern Thoughts
: Just saw "Crazy Heart" and thought it was pretty good. My wife thought it was great. She really liked "The Blind Side," too. My favorite movie I've seen in the past year is still "Invictus." What movies have you liked?
