The Free State of Winston
(in a southern accent)That’s where I was born. I’ve been clinging to the fact that I lived in the one county in Alabama that did NOT secede from the Union since I was five years old and learned about slavery for the first time.
So how did a very conservative, religious smalltown football coach and an equally conservative and religious middle school English teacher conceive the piece of liberal trash you’re reading about? This is a question that still eludes my parents to this day. Of course, I couldn’t escape all of the beliefs and convictions my parents tried to instill in me: I’m very skeptical of the government, no matter who’s in office; I can sing along to a lot of Toby Keith songs; and I believe you have to work really fucking hard to get what you want in life.
