Imagery

I went to see Gretchen Wilson last night at one of our local casinos and was struck by a very strange thing.

At one point there was an image of the Confederate flag on the video screens. Now, I know that it is a common image in country music and all but it is always something that throws me for a loop. In this case my sense of the bizarre was triggered when at the end of the song that featured that imagery they raised the American flag and played a rather nifty instrumental version of the national anthem. Driving back, my date and I both noted what a strange juxtaposition it was. Well ok, what I said was "what the fuck were they thinking with that pair of images put together".

Note to Gretchen Wilson... fix that shit .. because it was weird.

The concert though ... damn that woman can sing!!
