Today's Sermon:: a minor awokening

[Frank Wimberly-2]

And here's the intertextual reference in "Redneck, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer".  I see it as a romanticization of alcoholism.

I like his video essays, but finally unsubbed his youtube channel because all he does is talk to the camera [⛧].

Here is more info on him (at least I think it's him):

It's difficult to criticize anyone who puts effort into their videos. But compare that one to this one:

  Wormholes Explained – Breaking Spacetime

PBS Spacetime really does a fantastic job. Politics is more difficult, of course. As someone commented before, ContraPoints' videos (https://www.youtube.com/c/ContraPoints/featured) are sometimes so visually startling it can get in the way of the message. And Philosophy Tube (https://www.youtube.com/user/thephilosophytube) is similar. We're in Hell (https://www.youtube.com/c/BlackGoat666/featured) and Three Arrows (https://www.youtube.com/c/ThreeArrows/featured) strike a nice balance.

I'll see your PBR and raise you a Little Brown Jug.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07T7rREzYMc

My parents who were (near) teatotallers for most of their lives would get Rocky Mountain High (just woodsmoke and cold mountain air, none of John Denver's roll yer own version) and sing this and other classic songs they learned from their moonshining relatives in the "hills and hollers" of Kentucky growing up.  They were pretty sober people (alcohol and demeanor) so sitting around the campfire listening to them belt out these old songs was kind of creepy.   Maybe they had a little brown jug hidden from us somewhere?

One of my mother's Grandfathers and his brothers immigrated to KY from Germany by way of Corning NY to help set up glass bottle factories to support the transition from "moonshine" to the Bourbon industry sometime around the turn of the century.
