. . . it would be about the same to me.” So sang Hank Williams, Jr. in “If Heaven Ain’t a Lot Like Dixie.” I thought of this when I heard of Hillary Clinton’s latest trial balloon about how she’s thinking of becoming the next mayor of New York City, to follow the current mayor, a self-described communist.
(If this song is not sufficiently politically incorrect for your taste, then also listen to Hank’s “If the South Woulda Won”).
