I've been careful to place most of the emphasis when attributing intent onto Ronnie - who wrote the song and then discussed what it was about in interviews. Yes, there's some ambiguity that the current iteration of Skynyrd is not doing anything to help clarify, but I'm entitled to my interpretation and you are yours.

It did eventually die down. There's still lots of racism in the South and there is in the North too, but the segregationist policies did go away. Wallace himself even reversed course at the end of his career.

Haven't run into that, but the top 5 most segregated MSAs are all in the North. The entire concept of white flight started in northern cities with school desegregation measures, etc.

But they're not celebrating George Wallace & Nixon at all in that song! They're saying Wallace is bad ("boo boo boo") and so is Nixon and Alabama didn't vote for him!

I'm not even Southern, and in fact maybe 10 or so years ago I probably would have held a few of those views, but as I've gotten older my tolerance for hypocrisy and bullshit (including my own) has gotten to a level near zero.

You've never listened to the original Skynyrd, have you?

The key to understanding that line is the next line: "Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you? Now tell the truth"

There have been alot of out and out falsehoods written at this site, but this is one of the most egregious.

I had a kid at 35 and saw my music habits slow down a bit at first, but then different artists started resonating with me and I got probably more obsessed with finding new (to me) music than at any time since my early 20s. That said, I'm betting this study is correlating "interested in new music" with "up on the…

We saved enough by cutting the cord that it was justifiable to buy the individual episode of Mad Men & The Americans on Amazon. Those are the only shows I do that for though. Everything else makes it to one streaming service or another eventually.

Oh yeah, we watch Sid too sometimes. We have a neighborhood cat that she likes to call "Sid the Science Cat"

Here's a fun trick if you're ever forced to read a Max & Ruby book. Every time Ruby's friend Louise has a bit of dialogue, skip it or attribute it to Ruby and pretend like Louise doesn't exist. It has no effect whatsoever on the story!

Thanks - it was more spur of the moment than ranked. Ranking these, I agree Peppa is definitely ahead of M&R!

This is the one Daniel Tiger lesson my daughter outright refuses to learn!

Yeah, that's really my main problem with M&R - Peppa Pig does the sibling dynamic so much better.

Look, I realize these listicles are meant to generate clicks and debate with every commenter going "but, what about?!" so I hesitate to wade into these waters, but as the parent of a 2.5 year old the most adult friendly pre-K program is without a doubt "Curious George" - it's calm, it explains things to kids in a way…

I did mean between artist & label. It seems so much of the artist's ire towards the streaming world is aimed at Spotify. Barrow's the first one I've seen who not only recognizes that streaming is here to stay, but that it's the labels that are mostly (though not totally) to blame for the low payouts.

This guy gets it. He may be the first artist complaining about streaming revenues who correctly points the finger at the labels for cutting such shitty deals for their artists.

How's the tuna there? Would you say there's too much tuna?

There is probably still a legal corporate entity called A&M Records, Inc. or somesuch that is controlled by UMG. A&M would still be party to the lawsuit even though at this point it's really just a paper entity,
