If I could have a theme song for my web sight it would be Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “That Ain’t My America” from their latest album (yeah, I still call ‘em that, even if it’s only available on CD) “God + Guns”.

Deep down I guess I’m just one of those east Texas rebels and always will be. I may be able to make sense in a corporate IT strategy meeting but it’s a constant struggle for me to keep my mind from straying to the east Texas piney woods. I’d rather be walking under the trees in Lone Oak with a shotgun in my hands and a pit bull at my side.

Or rollin’ on two wheels into the hills and valleys of the Arkansas Ozarks.

Lynyrd Skynyrd made it especially hard for me to keep my mind on those HPUX and IBM squatty boxes today as I played “Guns + Guns” in the background, enjoying a little music while most of the folks in my little cubicledom are working from home.

The kings of swampland derived southern rock have compiled a manifesto for us right wing good-ol-boys in this collection, and matched the level of Don William’s “Good Ol’ Boys Like Me” and Hank Jr’s classics “Long Haired Country Boy” and “A Country Boy Will Survive”.

It really makes me want to go to church, read my Bible, do some target practice with my 1911, and vote against the progressives all at the same time. I even got a twinge of guilt for buying a British bike…but hopefully there’s enough Red, White, and Blue about me everywhere else for my brothers to forgive me that one.

“God + Guns” is a great mix of southern rock and modern country styles. Go buy a copy and play it loud and proud.
