Thus this Loudermilk character is just a racist swine and nothing else. If the story of his great grandparents being relocated in the trail of tears at the age of 91 they would have to have been born in the 18th century, as unlikely a scenario as warren being an afirmative action eligible Native American.Josephbleauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407587570806062403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-54558867319359752192016-09-25T02:03:08.656-05:002016-09-25T02:03:08.656-05:00I'm not crazy about all these songs (e. g.

Around that same year, one of my older sisters came home one day and said one of her high school classmates got in trouble. Seems in Sister Agnes Lenore's English class she was into some poetry and this kid was goofing around. The nun stopped and asked him "So, Mr. Fahey, what kind of poetry do you like?" He instantly responded with the Tillotson hit "Poetry in Motion", which cracked up the class, if not dear Sister.Wilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648146528637449534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-3759038048877705792016-09-24T12:32:09.344-05:002016-09-24T12:32:09.344-05:00It's obvious that a pop artist today would not...It's obvious that a pop artist today would not do something with lyrics like Indian Reservation.

NashVegas radio show about the origins of the Raider's hit song "Indian Reservation", he told that he wrote the song after his car was snowed in by a blizzard and being taken in by Cherokee Indians. He claimed that the chief "Bloody Bear Tooth" asked him to make a song about his people's plight and the Trail of Tears. Loudermilk, after being awarded the first medal of the Cherokee nation for this, was asked to read an old ledger book kept during The Trail of Tears. As he read through the names, he discovered his great grandparents, at the age of 91, were marched 1,600 miles (2,600 km) during the plight."<br />So much for cultural appropriation.Wilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648146528637449534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-51218132356424358982016-09-24T11:22:26.465-05:002016-09-24T11:22:26.465-05:00The Louvin (pronounced Looven)Brothers, Ira and Ch...The Louvin (pronounced Looven)Brothers, Ira and Charlie, real name was Loudermilk.
