Watching "The Last Waltz" and knowing that Richard commited suicide, then hearing him sing "Out of nine lives, I spent seven Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven"---man, that is really, REALLY eerie. Always sends a firsson up my spine. Spooky, spooky, spooky. Rest in peace, Richard. |

Sherman's March to the Sea started in Georgia, then went next door to S. Carolina. As z4kmorris correctly said above, the Georgia part was primarily for military reasons--Atlanta was one of the few industrial areas in the South, and it was the main rail hub in the Deep South. The South Carolina action was punitive, as S.C. was the first to secede, and the first shots were fired by S.C. My great-great grandfather fought for the Union (wounded 3 times) as he was an abolitionist, and yet this song moves me so much, it almost makes me feel sorry for Southerners. And I mean no irony in that last sentence. As my Uncle Bill, a combat infantryman in WWII said, "Rich old men start wars and send poor young men off to die in them." Pretty much the case for almost every war. |
