Jim Carrey: "There Goes Robert E. Lee..."

@jimcarrey: Happy Juneteenth everyone! Here’s to finding a more appropriate place for Robert E. Lee. ;^P


ThisSmallPlanet.com says: I've always wondered about the politics behind The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Always stuck me as odd, for a bunch of Canadians (plus Levon) to wax poetically about the sufferings of the Old South during and after "The War Between The States" (or maybe The Band would have preferred to call it "The War of Northern Aggression").

Isn't it time to rewrite that song, with an emphasis on the horrors of slavery and the triumph of abolitionism - (the first international human rights struggle)?

"The Night WE Drove Old Dixies down.... And all the bells were ringing! And all the free folk were singing!"
