INDIVIDUALISM

Perhaps it's that whole Rebel mentality, but there are a lot of glorious, wonderful wierdos down South.

I love the man who points, the woman who waves, Ski-mask Man, the Bulb Lady, the Flip-flop Clogger, Mr. Quintron, the Great Delores, Jesco White, and that lady who saw Jesus appear on her deep freezer.

Southern people are accustomed to the bizarre.

We have people who speak in tongues and a Neoclassical goddess who eternally exalts the boll weevil. “Southern by the Grace of God,” indeed!
