Color Me Bubba and Sing Me "Swanee"

Bill Maxwell at the St. Petersburg Times (it's always them, isn't
it?) published an editorial on Friday urging Floridians to boot Stephen
Foster to the curb along with "Way Down Upon the Swanee River."

Keep fighting in Tallahassee! I too have fond memories of the song
and feel proud to come from the area this song talks about. Why can't
people just leave things alone?? I have read the proposed song for
Florida if they decide to change it and I think it is ridiculous… Let's
work together to keep our heritage!

I was born in Old Town and it seems Mr. Maxwell may need some direction. I suggest I-95 North.

Yeah, change is stupid! We like things just the way they are, God fearing and racist! Good thing we don't have any jobs in this county, or they'd take our jerbs too!

Racist? We are talking about a State Song. The way you jump to conclusions you should contact Robbie Knievel for a job.
I served 20 years in the US Army and was born in Old Town and I do believe I have earned an opinion on this subject and race has nothing to do with it in my view. If you need a job go see a recruiter or move to a larger city. There are still a few jobs out there.
