Retire 'Rocky Top' ?

[Peradox1K]

If the guy is serious about this issue why doesn’t he start with other musical genres that explicitly glorify violence against law enforcement

If he covered hip-hop, he would be called a racist

Rocky Top is way overdone.
I'd take Lake City any day.

I used to go to lake city on sundays when I lived in lafollette to buy my choice of beverage

Don't bring this up again, for your sake and mine.

Any second now.

Only the author of the song knows who the 2 strangers were meant to be. This guy is just making up his own definition to fit his narrative. BS to him. If he is trying to be funny it didn't work.

Just my opinion, and by the way my youngest son is an LEO, if this guy writes articles about naval policy, education, and foreign affairs then he should stick to just that.

People should look up the definition of satire

If it is satire, people need to go with blue font. With the idiocy that gets posted on here on a daily basis, it’s hard to tell satire from seriousness. Some folks actually believe their own ignorance.

I read through the article this morning. My first thought was, where is the line that identifies this as satire? I couldn't find it. After reading through it again, I determined this guy had to be trying to be serious. But extremely unrealistic. It is iconic in American music, aside from our unofficial fight song, and a nod to the history of Appalachia. I don't believe in rewriting history. This guy opened himself up to tons of ridicule and hate from all walks of life who love this song and university. And dumb enough to supply his own picture and name to go with it. I don't care if he is a Naval Academy grad. That doesn't make him bright, or right.

What a moron….

Don't do that...it's the gannett owned newspaper trying to desperately get clicks on facebook for dying revenue

also the "writer" is an activist leftist from Morristown that is basically a DSA wannabe thanks to his attorney mother

I love Three 6 Mafia and Rocky Top. I don’t think the author would want to be my friend.
