" Unlike my father before me who I will never understand. Unlike the others below me who took a rebels stand...depraved and powered to enlave. I think it's time we laid hate in its grave. I swear by the mud below my feet that monument won't stand, no matter how much concrete" "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" We all know The Confederacy Imagery. Who doesn't love the song? " Growing up in Troy Alabama a small city about 2 hours South of Birmingham where he currently lives Early James often heard "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" side-by-side with Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama"- another song of Southern pride you can't be from the South and not, he says. People take that song as their anthem when people had songs as their ringtone I remember that being one. He notes one irony they had no idea Robbie Robertson was Canadian) and NONW of believe Robertson was a racist, all of us love The Band. He was looking to write a song Levon could sing. Times are different now. I suspect the remaing members of The Band love Early's ideas and lyric changes as all of us will still love the song itself. Thanks to Marcus King and his "Last Waltz's" tribute...and giving Early a stage platform. Good things happen we go forward! Props to RollingStone Magazine for the show case. #earlyjames #robbierobertson #theband #marcusking #marcuskingband #thenighttheydroveolddixiedown #thelastwaltz #songsoffreedom (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4m0P9FqUB/?igshid=rvi5kjt8gel1
