Deliverance??

Monday, September 23, 2013

The only thing the movie "Deliverance"  did for me was make me hate it that the producers made banjo players look like backward inbreds. That just started the ball rolling. Case in point, the t-shirt saying, "Paddle faster, I hear banjo music".  Now just about every time something is on T V about the Ozarks, Appalachia, or a rual area, some braindead, techincal director, clown has got to put  banjo music in the background.(Not counting folk or bluegrass documentaries.) The joke is dead.  Give it up people. We're tired of the crap.
