i heard a pretty strange story on tour. i was with lynyrd skynyrd’s old sound guy. he was working monitors/in-ears on my tour. apparently, there are a lot of bikers in finland. whoda thunk it? so much so, that they actually sell – and fly – confederate flags over there. huh.

i actually have a Finnish aunt. she hasn’t lived there in ages, but i should inquire sometime…

i’m thinking of continuing my Swedish language studies. but i’m swamped with music stuff, among other things. we’ll see…

Very interesting <a href="http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/story/_/id/6852602/uni-watch-investigates-controversial-patch-1960s" rel="nofollow">Paul Lukas article</a> about the Columbus Confederate Yankees, the Yanks' Georgia AA affiliate, wearing a confederate flag on their uniform in the mid 60s. Lukas talks to Roy White, among others. Not sure where to post this, so I’ll do it here for the somewhat ridiculous reason that the word ‘color’ appears in William’s column name.
